Check out this fabulous Pasadena hotel designed by Southern California interior designer Julie Khuu. I adore the jewel tones, and I love the idea of staying in a hotel whose decor is super glamourous and almost over-the-top – because I love the idea of spending time in a hotel that is on the opposite ends of the spectrum of home. (Anyone feel me here?) I’ll let you read the details on Julie’s blog and I’ll provide you with the eye candy. 🙂

I absolutely adore this home – just about every inch of it. It’s newly built, located in El Ampurdán, Spain, and is the home of a couple with three children. Priorities for the owners were the landscape and natural light having a strong presence, and creating a spacious and functional home…all of which were achieved beautifully. There is just oo many things I love about this home to list, so instead I’ll just say that I don’t think I would be interested in having a concrete bed frame, the tub in the floor looks like a health hazard, and I’d lose the tab curtains in the dressing room. (Have I ever mentioned by hatred of tab curtains? They make me want to vomit. Go with grommets!) Via Micasa.

… and old and new. An Edwardian era home with an up to the minute extension. I must admit that the dark living room is my favourite… or maybe the glass walls in the extension… or maybe a dressing room with that much, well, room. Real estate stalking in Kew, Melbourne. Link here while it lasts.

What happens when a creative meets a creative? Definitely something creative! Photographer Enrique Menossi captured shoe designer Rodolphe Menudier‘s Paris apartment and it is boho bliss. Amazing architectural detail married with mid century classics, bold colour and just a touch of creative clutter. Even piles of books look good when they live in a lilac hallway in Paris.

It’s been forever since I blogged some eye candy provided by Australian photographer Jonny Valiant. What was I waiting for? Here’s another dose. So gorgeous. And still much more on his website.
