Happy Friday folks! I have the day off today so I spent the morning getting my hair did, and now I am about to tackle more painting of my living room (a couple of sneak peaks are on Instagram). So I will leave you with some really pretty interiors by Anna Burke. She is all about a blank white canvas, with lots of gorgeous colours, patterns and textures to add visual interest. The result are spaces that are a bit feminine, and a lot fabulous. 

One of our readers, Missy, recently had her flat in Makati, Philippines made over and she shared some photos of the transformation with us. With the help of her designer friend Richard and a budget of about $8000 (US), the apartment was transformed with lots of vintage pieces and some from Ikea. The before photos are a bit scary…

And here are the after photos. Now cosy and chic, Missy’s flat is a space she can be proud to call her own. Great job Missy!

Need a boost into the weekend? How about this fab house by Melbourne icon of all things colour and fun, Fenton & Fenton? Take a neutral background, add a little Fenton & Fenton magic and watch it fizz and pop.

Since we seem to be on a roll with commercial spaces today, here is another one that was sent to us recently by G-sign, a small design studio in Moscow that specializes in branding and commercial design. This restaurant called Funny Cabany is so cool – I adore the centre tiled cube (the kitchen?), the use of reclaimed wood and industrial light fixtures, and OHHH those brown leather chairs! 

Yet another workspace that makes my cubicle look like a HOLE. The Craftsman Workshop is the latest design of  Bucharest’s architects Alexandru Calin and Vlad Draghescu. The workshop hosts the new office of a young and fast growing Romanian software company, Softescu in downtown Bacau, Romania. If this place doesn’t get these IT nerds’ energy level up I don’t know what will. 🙂
