I will never be a minimalist, but after clearing out 2 rooms of crap to make room for the feral cats (and now it’s piled around the house), I wish I could be. Instead I will stare dreamily at photos such as these and wonder what it would be like. Via Belgium architecture and design firm Oscar V.

Yes please! Inner city apartment living by TomMarkHenry. Clean lined contemporary living in an Art Deco shell.

I’m stalking a Nobbs Radford designed terrace house renovation in Paddington, Sydney. Contemporary yet classic. A small footprint with big style. If you’d like to see the house with a minimal look check out the architect’s site but I think I like it best with just a little more lived in character. Link here while it lasts.

This kitchen, dining and laundry room by Carla Lane Interiors is bright, inviting and heck, I might even enjoy doing laundry for a change! (Good gawd how I would love to FINALLY live in a home where the laundry was not in an unfinished basement)

Before I introduce this post, I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU to everyone who sent donations towards my 3 feral cats’ vet bills. Once this post published Georgie, Frankie and Bernie will be at the vets getting everything done – checkups, tested for diseases, vaccinations, and spaying (if Georgie isn’t pregnant – but both my husband and I think she is 🙁 ) and neutering. If the estimate I was given is accurate I should have enough to foot the bill, so I can worry about the kitties instead of the finances. I really appreciate everyone’s help. Here’s hoping today goes smoothly! I will put updates on Instagram. (P.S. I have a few pets on furniture entries – keep on sending them in if you want this series to continue! kim[@]desiretoinspire[.]net)

Now onto the subject at hand – a fabulously designed house in Santa Monica by LA-based Carla Lane Interiors. This home is simply decorated but packs a punch. Timeless spaces that are comfortable and clearly made to be lived in and loved. Well, I freaking LOVE that mirror over the fireplace. It is the perfect subtle graphic statement for that fireplace.
