There are the special little things in life that fill a slow rainy day (or a crazy busy day why won’t it SLOW DOWN… ooops sorry). Little things that make me happy. A good magazine is one of them. And Inside Out is a great magazine. I always get a wee bit over excited when an email from managing editor Lee Tran Lam is sitting in my box. Do we want to see a house? Yes please!

“It’s from our new Jul/Aug issue and it’s of a makeover of a Dutch farmhouse. The revamp included lots of upcycling – and in fact, the floor of the top storey is made of old cheeseboards! The styling is by Studio Viva Vida of The Netherlands and the photography is by Jean-Marc Wullschleger.”

Yeah! There are even pictures that didn’t make it into the magazine after the jump. Bonus! Aussie readers will of course be heading to the newsagents to pick up their copy out today. (That’s if you don’t already subscribe.) Don’t fret if you aren’t in Australia though because you can read along on Zinio, Google Play and the Apple Newsstand!

Nancy Riesco and Rebecca Lapres are interior designers from Vancouver who whip up contemporary, timeless spaces that are so fresh, youthful and pleasing to the eye that it’s no wonder their work has been showcased in a bunch of Canadian magazines. Superb portfolio, including these favourites…

I have dreamt about having a tree house for as long as I can remember. Living in this San Diego home by architects Taal Safdie and Ricardo Rabines would absolutely be a dream come true. To look out your windows and all you see are trees and sky……

I have a craving to travel to this marvelous house, home invade and refuse to leave. I’m lusting after the steel and glass windows. A truly beautiful, eclectic home bursting with personality and humour. What else would you expect from jj Locations.

Not a kennel. No it appears that this Paddington, Sydney house is the inner city pad of a very cool and very fluffy dog about town. Very cute! Both the terrace house and the dude in the fur coat and dark glasses. Talk about a ham! Link here while it lasts.
