It’s been ages since I blogged the work of California interior designer Jamie Bush. I love mid-century spaces so I’m a big fan of his as MCM seems to be one of his specialities. And he might have an ever bigger crush than I do on Serge Mouille lighting.

I had to share one more look into Brisbane based photographer Toby Scott‘s portfolio. Like fashion blogger Mandy Shadforth’s house for Real Living Magazine. Queensland living at its best captured by one of Queensland’s best.

Hello Toby Scott. Love your work. Your photographs are real, clean, unpretentious but so marvelous and full of wonderful light. I guess the light thing is a given because you’re a Brisbane boy. Sunny Queensland so they say. I can’t remember where I first saw your work – Real Living or Est Magazine or James Russell‘s portfolio. I remember the Ipswich house in Real Living, the houses you’ve shot with Kylie Jackes. Loved them all. Genius. They tell a story and it’s a tale of how and who and why we live in this part of the world.

I need a little pick me up to get me through this Monday (it’s going to be a loooong week). Some eye candy ought to help, care of French photographer Alexis Toureau who has photographed some really special homes.

If you’d like to send me photos to include in next week’s “pets on furniture” post, please ensure your photos follow my basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off…and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, the photo must be of decent quality. If it’s dark or fuzzy then it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.comand PLEASE don’t send closeups of your pet! Thanks!
