Project #2 is from Maureen of The Inglenook Decor who was contacted by HGTV.comto create a budget-friendly DIY headboard that they wanted to feature. Maureen started the project by stalking Craigslist for somebody who could make a wood cutout, used leftover chalkboard paint and primer paint, dustless chalk (who knew?!?!) and a favourite vintage silhouette. I LOVE how it turned out. (Photos by Chris, silhouette image courtesy of Susie Harrington of Petite Prints).

We’ve gotten a few reader emails lately with some interior design projects that I wanted to share so I thought I’d feature them all today. This first one comes from Franco. He is a brand manager in São Paulo and wanted to share his new apartment with us. It’s actually more like a little peek, but I think the photography is superb so without further ado, welcome to Franco’s Brazilian pad.

I’ve been dealing with a massive headache for about 12 hours now and I’m not sure what or who to blame it on – perhaps the 20 degree celsius drop in temperature overnight, or the 3 times I flew out of bed in the middle of the night at the sounds of a cat barfing (each time a different cat). All this to say I have little motivation for blogging at the moment but I pushed through my misery to put together a selection of photos from this website that in a previous post I refered to as the Brazilian Selby. Enjoy. (And no need to feel sorry for me – I did arrive home to find a little package in the mail which made me feel better).

Seriously cool design by Serbian architectural firm Sinestezia. Clever storage, sexy room dividers and a clean modern palette. Ideas to steal here readers. A family home that adapts and changes to this young family’s needs. Love it!

yoo is a residential interior and architecture design firm, the result of a partnership between property entrepreneur John Hitchcox and world renowned designer Philippe Starck. This firm has set out to design the world, with projects throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, North and South America and the Middle East. And to make this firm even more impressive is its lineup of superstar designers – Marcel Wanders, Jade Jagger, Kelly Hoppen and Anouska Hempel. I don’t think you can go wrong by investing in a yoo property! Especially when they look THIS good….
