moon

Posted on Fri, 2 Dec 2011 by KiM

AC sent us an email this week to let us know about the architecture firm he works for based in Bristol, UK called moon. I really admire their work – it’s real world designs that are fairly simple with brilliant little touches here and there. My favourites: kitchen cabinet wrapping into the dining room, desk nook, wall cut-out for projector screen, funky round door handles (!!!!!), wrap-around bathroom cabinets, glass stair partition, funky uneven stairs…


Tribeca loft

Posted on Fri, 2 Dec 2011 by midcenturyjo

Soaring ceilings and seemingly endless space. A dream loft space in Manhattan. But how to make it work as a living space without losing the beauty of all that openness? Sliding partitions and walls of fabric dissect the loft creating intimate areas. Pavilions encased in cloth and zones defined by glass placed within the void of the loft itself. Open and warehouse like. Enclosed and private. Raw and beautiful, luxurious in its space. An amazing loft home designed by New Zealand firm Fearon Hay.

Think I can convince my husband that we need one of these suspended wood stoves in our third floor office/media room? Love the wood cart too!

Stiff + Trevillion take 2

Posted on Thu, 1 Dec 2011 by KiM

Stiff + Trevillion = leading UK architects featured by Jo about 2 years ago. Modern, clean lines and innovative designs. I can’t get enough of the tiles in the kitchen above and bathroom after the jump. FAB! And I don’t really understand the kitchen above but I frankly don’t care because it rocks.

Interior photography 101

Posted on Thu, 1 Dec 2011 by midcenturyjo

My new photographer crush Russell Smith was inspired by my recent post to help us all understand how he takes such fabulous photos. I mean look at these photos! Don’t you want to know how and why and “why can’t I”? Russell has put together an interior photography 101 over on his blog with the ins and outs and the juicy photos. Important tips to help you with your interior photography. It gives me an excuse to feature (again) what what must be one of the most blogged photos in recent times and just a few more shots that Russell included over on his blog. Make sure you check out his other posts too. He generously shares ideas and stories on lighting, travel and food photography, digital vs film, post production and so much more.
