Bleeker Street Duplex

Posted on Thu, 18 Dec 2014 by midcenturyjo

You know how I’ve been on a bit of a colour campaign lately? Well I fell off the band wagon. White with black accents layered with natural highlights. Yes please. The remodel of a West Village townhouse, built in 1817 by Matiz Architecture & Design in collaboration with Nathalie Goris.

Heather Garrett odds and ends

I could not get enough of Heather Garrett‘s loft from last week, so I bring you some really beautiful spaces from a few of her other projects.

Bold and beautiful

Posted on Wed, 17 Dec 2014 by KiM

I have one more beauty from Rethink Design Studio for you. This time it is quite bold in a Hollywood Regency sort of way. Lots of pattern and colour (someone loves pink, purple and turquoise!). I am pretty sure having such a bold bedroom would quickly make me go cuckoo but it is well executed nonetheless. 

Love

 I haven’t been able to leave interior designer Mark Lewis‘ website because I love everything. It’s like I’m lost in the pages. Don’t send a search party though. I’m very very happy in here.

Inside Out

Posted on Wed, 17 Dec 2014 by midcenturyjo

Is it that time of year already? Time for the January issue of your favourite magazine. When Inside Out‘s Managing Editor Lee Tran  Lam emailed with a sneak peek into the pages of the latest issue out Thursday I loved the house but couldn’t believe my eyes. The January issue? Already?

“Hope the silly season is only the best kind of silly to you so far. If you need a little interiors relief, I’ve got a little hit of beachy prettiness for you. The project was overseen by interior designer Emily Buckley, of Baxter + Thrum, and it’s a great example of getting along with your parents! She was asked by her mum and dad to revamp their Sydney home – they wanted a Scandi look combined with a “relaxed Northern Beaches vibe”. Not only that, she had eight weeks (and roughly the length of one European family holiday) to complete the job! As her parents were away, they received the occasional photo of the demolished site, but they didn’t get to view the the finished residence until they got home. Luckily, Emily had done an amazing job – so there were no awkward moments!”

Wow! Amazing is not the word. Love it! And the view! The styling on the story is by Phoebe McEvoy, the photography by Prue Ruscoe. Thanks Lee Tran. Now I’m looking forward to January… or at least the January issue. Aussie readers can pick up their copy of the September Inside Out on Thursday. Don’t fret if you aren’t in Australia because you can read along on  ZinioGoogle Play,  the Apple Newsstand and Nook.
