Minimalist masculine glamour

Posted on Tue, 17 Oct 2017 by midcenturyjo

Minimalist luxury, modern sophistication in an apartment in a heritage building in the West Australian city of Freemantle by Nickolas Gurtler.

“Bringing his passion for shapes, colours and textures to every project, Nickolas’s style is glamorous yet restrained, minimal pieces with masculine forms are paired with exotic and luxurious textures to create spaces with an international feel.”

11ft wide family home

Posted on Tue, 17 Oct 2017 by midcenturyjo

What do you do when you and the kids have outgrown your 11ft (3.3m) wide Brooklyn row house? What do you do when you love where you live and don’t want to move further out to get that valuable space you need? Why you extend up and down but do it cleverly, making effective yet frugal use of the space. If the result is “a home that is not just larger, but livelier” then I guess you and the kids will love living in your special piece of Brooklyn. By Office of Architecture.

That’s it, I’m done in, I’m broken and in need of putting my trotters up. If I could teleport myself away from these dirty dishes and muddy boots I’d Mrs Popoff myself right here. This is my partner in @nohouserules crime Amy’s digs. Aka Rocks aka @thisstyle_rocks aka πŸ’Ž. We have got sooooooo much going on right now it’s crackers, exciting and terrifying in equal measures. I for one don’t think I’ve worked this hard on non mum/slave related stuff for yonks. Go check in and follow @nohouserules for full deets of our ‘through the keyhole’ launch event. Tickets are sold out but room on the reserve list if you want in and as hard as we are working we are both loving every minute of it. #styleithappy #nohouserules #interiorandhome #interiorismo #interior_delux #interiørbutikk #pinkandyellow #sofastyling #apartmenttherapy #designsponge #showemyourstyled #interiör #realhomes #actualinstagramhomes #pocketofmyhome #myinterior #darkwalls #myhomevibe #peachandrocks #networkingevent #instameet #interiør #interieur #livingroom #livingroominspo #interiorinspiration #interieurinspiratie #interior4all #elledecor #sodomino

~HAD TO BUY~ #myhousethismonth. Good morning! Hope you’re feeling great and up for a little true story behind this painting. ☺ I don’t buy a lot but this wolf I had to take home 10 years ago. It was the most sudden and the biggest deal I have ever sealed in just few minutes. I was a media student and working at the Finnish broadcasting radio YLE for the summer. I’d been sent to Make a story about this exhbition of russian painters and this painting mesmerized me. It’s really unique. The lonely Wolf is howling for the moon, supposed to be full, but the MOON is not showing in the picture – just the light. I was really poor at the time living on a student budget so I couldn’t even think about buying this One. I just stood there and steared at the Wolf. The curator of the exhibition saw my true devotion and made me an offer of a lifetime – I mean Really a LIFETIME πŸ˜‚ So I’m still paying this One I just had to buy. πŸ™ And I still love it. ♥.. #stillife #momentoflife #poetic #epic #jackrussel #dogphotography #wolf #painting #frames #art #artwork #ribachok #russianart #home #hem #moodyhomeinterior #moodyhome #dark #falltones #instakodit #greywalls #livingroom #livingroomdecor #vardagsrum #interiør #interiör

Happy Friday! The 13thhhhhh 😱😱😱 I’ve been MIA lately –taking care of this sweet angel face. Some of you know that she came to us with heartworms which left untreated can lead to serious cardiac issues and eventually death. Today is her (hopefully) final injection to rid her of these deadly parasites. The first injection really knocked her out –she was in so much pain and having accidents all over the new rug. So for now the rug is rolled up and life is a little topsy turvy making sure our little angel is comfortable and recovering well.. PS–cross your fingers for me–someone may be buying my mcm dining set tomorrow and if that happens, a makeover of that space can commence πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»

And one from me….cooler weather has arrived so the cats are getting extra cuddly with both their humans and each other. Phoebe and Lucky were in these positions for several hours that day.

Timeless restraint

Posted on Mon, 16 Oct 2017 by midcenturyjo

Interior designer Margaret Naeve Parker of M Naeve combines contemporary pieces with antiques found in her travels in Belgium, France and Scandinavia. Hers is a restrained approach with an emphasis on texture and a muted palette. What strikes me most is even with her love of beautiful, old pieces these rooms feel fresh and modern, timeless and sophisticated.

It’s another case of stalking dΓ©jΓ  vu. Architecturally designed homes we have featured previously on the blog seem to be hitting the market. Today I’m stalking this Brunswick East house by Melbourne-based architectural studio Multiplicity. If I remember correctly I was quite taken by the storage system in the kitchen. (You can see it in its architect’s portfolio life here.) Now it’s even more fabulous with its “styling for sale” by inside story, the latest collaboration between Lynda Gardener and Belle Hemming. Love, love, love the Grant Featherstone Numero modular chairs in the lounge area. I’m biased though because I have the same ones. Link for this wonderful heritage cottage and its ultra-modern extension here while it lasts.
