Jacky Winter Gardens

Posted on Thu, 14 Apr 2016 by KiM

As cute as a button inside and out. Melbourne, Victoria, Australia guesthouse renovations and interior design by Hearth Studio. To note: I love how they painted over the trim a couple of inches in some rooms and a couple of feet above it in others. A creative and very simple idea to painting a space without really painting a space. (Photos: Sean Fennessy, and more details here).

Maximalist

Posted on Thu, 14 Apr 2016 by midcenturyjo

So much to see. So much to touch, to turn over, to stroke. I would be the most rude of guests fidgeting in my seat, jumping up to flick through a book, pick up a trinket, open a box, to take in the beauty. Somehow I don’t think the owner of this Birmingham, Alabama home, interior designer, artist and neo-traditionalist William McLure would mind too much. I think maximalists love to display their treasures and to have others secretly covet them. I know I do 😉

Stalking a little black terrace house

Posted on Thu, 14 Apr 2016 by midcenturyjo

Not much over 4m wide but with its modern renovation and addition, this wooden terrace house in Balmain, Sydney manges to squeeze in 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and openplan living on a small inner city block. A little bit industrial, a little bit scandi modern and all with light pouring in through skyligfhts and voids. I wouldn’t call it tiny but it certainly is compact. Link here while it lasts.

A Rachel Meadows project

Posted on Wed, 13 Apr 2016 by KiM

This Los Angeles home designed by Rachel Meadows is the perfect blend of vintage bohemian funkiness. I adore every piece of furniture and of course hats off to her for using large scale photography on the walls. I am forever a fan of that, and I am ready to move in….I just need to pack up the cats. 

Weekend House

Posted on Wed, 13 Apr 2016 by midcenturyjo

If this is the weekend house I can’t even begin to imagine how amazing their everyday house is. I’m daydreaming again and in my dream every day is the weekend and I spend it here. Architecture by Barbara Bestor with interiors by The Archers.
