Sarah Stacey, an interior designer from Austin Texas whom I featured last year, has recently completed a project that she wanted to share with our readers. She did a great job once again, but I may be biased because she has utilized several of favourites of mine – tall windsor chairs, tumbling block tile, boucherouite rugs…

Sorry folks, I didn’t receive enough pets on furniture entries while I was away for a post today (you can send them to kim[@]desiretoinspire[.]net), but I do have a funky, modern 2 bedroom home that is for rent in London via Domus Nova. It is designed by architects Teatum + Teatum who believe in creating all of their properties to rent to make great architecture available to as many people as possible. By using simple and affordable materials that are available in local hardware outlets they are showing how we can make something special with a limited budget. In this home they made use of sterling board (otherwise known as OSB) which is readily available and inexpensive. That combined with concrete, metalwork and painted brick (I personally would have loved seeing more of the brick) makes for a very interesting textural eye candy. 

Melbourne based interior and props stylist Bek Sheppard sure knows how to make a bed… or a moody bedroom for that matter. Love the layers and her sense of colour.

Last week I shared a restaurant by Suvi-Maria Silvola and Laura Seppänen and… well… I just couldn’t leave it there, could I? I just had to share this apartment by Helsinki based interior designer and decorating editor Laura. Classic scandi design. Bright, white, clean lined and stylish. Love it.

While I recuperate from my 10 days in Mexico 🙁 I leave you with some beautifully designed spaces from the ecelctic portfolio of Amory Brown – a creative design studio based in the heart of Central London and founded by Lucy Heathcoat Amory and Hannah Brown.
