I needed a little pick me up today, something to take my mind off the fact that I am already completely fed up with winter. These spaces are a bit more country/shabby chic than we typically post but a little diversity never hurts. And these photos make me smile, and think of summer and warmth. Thank you California interior designer Alison Kandler for today’s virtual vacation. 

I’m running away from Christmas. Who else is in? And I’m not escaping to a hip, happening must do destination… or am I? For a long time many of our nations’ capitals have got a bad wrap. Dull, boring hubs of government and not much else. Just ask Kim. She lives in Ottawa. Things are changing, at least in Australia’s national capital Canberra. How much more hip and happening can the new Hotel Hotel get? So cool it’s positively frosty… that’s if it wasn’t so hot. Anyone else want to run to Canberra? At least until Christmas is over?

Homes like this by designer Henrik Hemmingsen remind me that I still do love white. Via Femina.

We can never get enough of Paris based interior designer Sarah Lavoine. Here is one of her latest residential projects – a classy apartment in Paris’ 7ème arrondissement completed earlier this year. It seems alot more tailored and toned down compared to her previous work but it is eye catching nonetheless. And she always makes room for something a little quirky. How about a polar bear in front of the fireplace?

There’s still a connection. Great style. Simple beauty. A masculine take for this Westlake apartment by Brian Paquette Interiors, Seattle, Washington.
