Anyone out there having a bad day? Need a break from reality? How about a little virtual trip to a space that is so fantastic you could have dreamt about it. The spaces that photographer James Silverman has photographed (beautifully I might add) are certainly dream-worthy, and could make any bad day seem a little less bleak.

Can a girl go weak at the knees over a caravan? Oh please! This ain’t no caravan. She’s a sleek and shiny 70s era Airstream. This baby was lovingly restored by Santa Barbara architect Matthew Hofmann. She’s small, efficient, renovated with recycled and sustainable materials and is the live + work space for Matthew and his girlfriend. But most importantly she is sexy! Alas she wasn’t always this hot. More like hot mess as you will see after the jump.

Modern interiors placed delicately in historic shells. Colour saturated minimalism and a dialogue between the past and the present. It’s a beautiful balancing act. Welcome to the portfolio of Rome based architect Carola Vannini. It is all about space and colour, positive and negative, blocks and voids, old and new… and respect.

In our research for the blog we have come across good photographers, and then we have come across GREAT photographers. Antoine Bootz is the latter. I adore his portfolio of interiors, and because of the caliber of his photos I can’t help but fall in love with the spaces at the same time. I want all of the following rooms. (P.S. I blogged Antoine back in ’08 too).

You would think after a whole week of stalking that I could stay away from real estate sites. No. I’m an addict. I must vicariously stalk. I must virtually peep through the curtains of complete strangers’ homes. Today I’m glad I did. Elegant, restrained, monochromatic and masculine. And so narrow! Clever use of the tiny courtyard. It’s luxury in a tiny gift box. You will find the link to this Paddington home here while it is still for sale.
