Inspired by fashion and borrowing a palette from nature, Melanie Turner‘s interiors possess a timeless quality that celebrates architectural details and classic design. Maintaining an emphasis on simplicity and understated glamour, her interiors feature a blend of clean lines, found objects, fine antiques, and custom-designed, sculptural furniture. There’s nothing more important to me than a home that is comfortable and inviting, and Melanie’s designs are just that yet have a sophisticated vibe that turns it up a notch. The dark shade of grey in the first few photos is fantastic.

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!

My dog’s name is Oggy and he is 1 year and 2 months old (14 months). He is a Labrador. That’s my bed. Coffee and cream coloured.

After our 16.5 yrs old cats died, we were devastated. The only positive thing to come out of it – is that we were able to save now 2  cats from SPCA SF. We found Remy and Gus (not pictured). They are two beautiful, very sensitive 8 yrs old cats, that are still not aware where they are allowed (or aware and don’t care). Remy is especially fond of this Minotti green armchair.

I just snapped this photo of Mimin in my living room window, Lucky on my sheepskin covered teak bench and Felix the porker on my Normann Copenhagen Tablo table.

Pink and pattern and peony paper and oh so pretty. A perfect photo by Damian Russell.

Grey days are a drag. Misty rain, cold, nothing to do. I’m bored. Flicking through a favourite international magazine (Livingetc) I spy a familiar name. Hello! I haven’t dropped by Damian Russell‘s website for quite some time. I was not disappointed. I’ve called him a pied piper of photography. I have followed him through many a house through his lens. A weaver of dreams, a story teller and a great big tease. Tempt me with beautiful photos of beautiful rooms on this grey, grey day will you Mr Russell? Oh alright if you must!
