Some of my favourite décor motifs. Oak beams, bleached floors, monochromatic colour palette, natural fibres and cows in the fields. Tailored and luxurious yet serene and imperfect. Martha’s Vineyard Modern Farmhouse by New York-based Kathleen Walsh Interiors.
Up there with my love of plants is my love of photography as decor. I absolutely adore the framed photograph leaning against the wall in this space designed by Antonino Buzzetta.
I adore plants. They are all over my house. I love the idea of bringing the outdoors in, especially when nothing grows outside here for about 6 months of the year. And plants are a fairly inexpensive method of decorating….except when you’re like me and kill off 75% of them, and the other 25% get torn to shreds by feral cats in the middle of the night. One day I vow to do a photo series on the plants I have around my house that I have not managed to kill. In the meantime here is a round-up of some pretty awesome spaces decorated with plants.
nookie (n.) – the act of loving a nook… and this nook I found in the portfolio of French-born, New York-based architect Anik Pearson is definitely doing it for me.
The idea of a luxury holiday doesn’t always have to be about 5 star hotels. The new luxury, especially for families, is escaping to a fabulous beachside home with a view to die and a flair all its own. A real home. Stylish and sophisticated when it needs to be, casually chic with sand between its toes when it doesn’t. Beautiful surroundings, great location and quality time with family and friends… that’s the new luxury. Tamarama Beach Pad via Contemporary Hotels.
