This office space of graphic design studio Mattson Creative located in Southern California makes me want to quit my government job. I’m so sick of working in a cubicle. I WANT TO WORK HERE!

I’m now a fan of New York based HS2 Architecture since coming across their website. They have quite a knack at mixing modern architecture with rustic finishes which is always a favourite of mine, and make such great use of outdoor views in their designs. The 4 kitchens below are each very different but all soooooo fantastic. 

Just a little taste, not quite enough. Always leave them wanting more so they say. A little tease. A little inspiration. A little loft with a lot of style. By Portland, Oregon based JHL Design.

A balance between restoration and intervention… that’s how Martin Young Design describe their work on this 1907 San Francisco house. The past is acknowledged and lovingly restored but contemporary finishes and furnishings add a fresh, new layer. A modern way of living with history.

Hey fellow Ottawans (and folks in surrounding areas looking for a little road trip) – it’s Ottawa Antique Show time again!!! The show is coming up this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, and I am excited to promote it this year because my darling husband (Daff Design) has a booth where he will be selling his vintage revamped radios! WOHOO!!!! I am so excited for him to get these damn things sold and out of my house. 🙂 Plus, they’re pretty cool.

I know I am biased in praising these things but there is a large floor model on the wall opposite my desk that is wired with bluetooth. I play music from it all of the time and I don’t even have to get my arse up out of my chair!

The booth is massive and there are not enough radios to fill it so I will be bringing some of my vintage goodies to fill in the gaps. My house is too packed with crap so I am excited to sell some of it off too (including all of my coloured West German pottery!). You will have to come to the show to see (although I spot one above)….but here are some photos I took of the fabulous finds from last year.
