Workstead is a Brooklyn-based architecture and interior design firm that rocks my world. The industrial light fixtures they design and include in their spaces (and sell here) are so scrumptious. They suit their simple, organic yet strong and functional interiors perfectly. (Jo featured a couple of their kitchens here and a cool project here).

I absolutely adore the photography of Dutch photographer Marjon Hoogervorst – so fresh, bright and full of life. See more in a previous post here.

* LOVE how the base of the chairs and table were painted! *

Late summer in Sweden. Seamlessly connecting with sky and sea and rock. A summer house but definitely no shabby shack. Contemporary luxury. Ah the perfect escape. Kristiansand Summer House by New York and Oslo based Heiberg Cummings Design.

Climb the stairs from the bluestone lane way in Richmond, Melbourne. Certainly can’t miss the street number. From the ground floor all the way up to the heated pool on the third this modern townhouse is a great example of contemporary inner city style. What would normally leave me screaming for more… more personality, more layering, more sympathetic photos… is saved  by what I always love in a home… more art. Although I am suspicious that this is styled for sale and not an actual home (no fridge in the kitchen) I’m sure we can figure something else to keep the drinks cold when we party on the roof during the open for inspections 😉 Link here while it lasts.

Heliotrope Architects are based in Seattle and these folks seem to really understand timeless modern design and have the ability to take full advantage of the beauty outdoors. When my house gets levelled it wants to come back as one of these. 🙂
