What can we expect from the latest issue of Inside Out magazine? Fabulous homes and inspiration of course. Like the home of jewellery designer Megan Perkins. Or should I say her parents’ home. That’s right. She moved back in with her parents but when your oldies have such an amazing house (her dad actually built it) where’s the problem?! Writer/stylist Natalie Walton and photographer Chris Warnes of Warnes & Walton take us inside this stunning family space.

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!

I needed to dip back into the portfolio of Milan-based Studiopepe. Edgy, confident, passionate and rich. Inspiration aplenty in these retail installations. Enough to make me want to move in. Coveting is a sin right?

I’ve mentioned on countless occasions that I am a lamp tramp, a lover of all things related to lighting. Give me the chance to devour the website of a leading online lamp and light fixture retailer like Lamps.com and I’m ALL OVER IT. They have a few new brands they are now carrying (Feiss, Dimond and Currey & Company) so I thought I’d do a round-up of my favourites. Floor lamps, table lamps, pendants, chandeliers, wall sconces…..GIDDY-UP!

Feiss: 1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 ~ 5 ~ 6 ~ 7 ~ 8 ~ 9

Dimond: 1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 ~ 5 ~ 6 ~ 7 ~ 8

Currey & Company: 1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 ~ 5 ~ 6 ~ 7 

Enjoy some eclectic spaces from the portfolio of Portugal-based photographer Ana Carvalho. My favourite is the black dining room with the unexpected army green Eames arm shell chairs. COOL! Interesting artwork too. 😉

There is something about photographer Tara Donne‘s work that reminds me of old masters’ paintings. The composition, the lush light, the colours, oh the rich, rich colours. Perhaps the choice of subject matter. The beauty in the everyday, the drama of a vase of flowers. Inspiration comes from so many places.
