A modest, narrow cottage all dolled up and extended. A new lease on life with clever low line windows to let in the light but allow privacy… plus you get cool glimpses of legs walking, or in my case stalking, along. Love the concrete floors, the wine storage in the galley kitchen, the little ponds at the base of the windows, the traditional facade which never lets on that something bright and shiny new is hiding just behind. You’ll find the house in Northcote, Melbourne. Link here while it lasts.

P.S. Australian real estate agents please stop with the HDR photography!!!! Hmmmmmm…. deep breath. Calm now Jo 🙂

I shared my love for Tom Dixon’s copper shade pendant in a post recently, and had to share this photograph. 🙂

Rugs. Love ’em. They add coziness to a room, texture, and are a great way to add texture and pattern (I am REALLY not a fan of a plain, neutral coloured rug – it becomes a focal point of boring). I have several in my home – except they’re all packed away in the basement because rugs and seven cats don’t mix unfortunately. I miss my vintage kilim I used to have under my dining table in the kitchen (seen in this post), but I was ruining it by all the vacuuming. And what is it about cats always insisting on aiming for a rug when they barf? Anyway, I thought I’d do a rug round-up today. Happy Friday!

P.S. Speaking of pets, I just noticed I still have hardly any pets on furniture entries for this coming Monday, so if you want this feature to return please send me photos! (Details here)

It isn’t so much a look. It’s a connection. That tug at your heart, the stirring of a memory in your design mind. Dreams and history and reminiscence. I’ve never met Seattle based interior designer Brian Paquette, never lived in his part of the world but there is something. A connection. A link. An understanding. A love of what he creates. The simplicity, the honesty, the beauty.

Candy Black is a British multi-disciplinary firm dabbling in interior design, web design, graphic design….and they have the COOLEST office! It’s all about black and white and modern marvelousness. And I threw in some photos from some of their interior deisgn projects too.
