Wind in the grass

Posted on Tue, 5 Jun 2018 by midcenturyjo

Wind in the grass, ripples on the pond, kids splashing in the pool. Alfresco conversations, family gatherings, native wildlife paying a visit and the joy of an Australian garden that is more than a lawn and the latest “it” plants. Low maintenance, drought resistant, sustainable and beautiful. Musk Cottage garden in Flinders in country Victoria by Eckersley Garden Architecture.

 

A modern black and white penthouse

Posted on Mon, 4 Jun 2018 by KiM

I really love several design styles but modern is not typically one of them. South African interior designer John Jacob is bound to convert people like me with this black and white penthouse that is sleek, glamorous and super sexy. His attention to detail and use of bold artwork has really drawn me in.

Tensions are running high at Campling Towers with GCSES starting today for Anna (1 exam down, 25 to go 🤦🏼‍♀️) and SATS starting next week for Theo. Ted is unperturbed by the stress, concerned only by where his next nap will be taken. 😴🐶. I’m distracting myself by wondering what to do to that silver sofa to make me like it better – I like the cracked, distressed bits but not the smooth shiny bits. It might have to go. 😬😂 Tap for tags. . . . . . . . #cockapoo #dtipetsonfurniture #outdoorroom #chesterfieldsofa #alfresco #gardenroom #summerhouse #frenchinteriors #interiores #interiorstyling #gardenstyling #shutters #cratestyle #howivintage #sheepskin #chunkyknit #rusticdecor #hygge #sofa #silveraesthetic #interiormagasinet #interior_and_living #homeandgarden #fruitbowl #colourpop #interiorismo #cockapoosofinstagram

After yesterday's post, it seems the answer to my low engagement problem is: cats. The internet loves cats, so my new strategy is to include Bobo (the white ball of fluff in the middle of the sofa here) in every post. Right, I'm off to research cat hashtags now 🐱 #catsaredecortoo #catsonfurniture #sleepingcatsofinstagram . . . #cozy #cozyhome #comfy #myhomevibe #myhyggehome #colourmyhome #mystylishspace #myinteriorstyletoday #cosyupyourworld #mycreativeinterior #gallerywallhashtag #howyouhome #pocketofmyhome #suyhome #lookatmeeclecticleigh #stopandstaredecor #spotlightonmyhome #instahome #nzhomeswithstyle #townhouseliving #myeclecticmix #eclecticdecor #eclectichomemix #myeclectichome #dtipetsonfurniture #myinteriorvibe

Happy hump day friends!✨🐪✨ . Not gonna lie—I edited this photo only using my one “good” eye and I can’t even tell if it looks right 🤣 . If you saw my story then you might know why I’m having difficulty seeing clearly. Came to school today doing my best pirate impression eye patch and all!😎 . But I’m here to show off the Beni lumbar from @hellobohoshop. Clearly Georgia is a total fan and so am I! . Manon has curated some gorgeous boho textiles and her price points are not to be missed—if you are looking to add some layers to your home, head on over to her shop before you miss out on the perfect boho touches for your abode. Remember she’s having a 50% off spring sale😱 #shoppingenabler 🙈 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sadieslovelylife #pin #smmakelifebeautiful #myhomevibe #currenthomeview #interior4all #interior444 #modernbohemian #bohemianmodern #dtipetsonfurniture #anthropologie #myhousebeautiful #homewithrue #anthrohome #howwedwell #thatsdarling #myhyggehome #hyggehome #sodomino #ggathome #theeverygirlathome #abmathome #dslooking #designsponge #simplystyleyourspace

From me: Semi-feral Frankie has recently discovered how comfy my Hana Waxman pillow I bought in Mexico (I had to cover it as it’s impossible to clean the cat fur off of it). And Milo also has great taste, laying on my blanket from Alteriors and some sheepskins.

Kitchen goals in a London location home

Posted on Sun, 3 Jun 2018 by KiM

I had to start at the back of this house where the kitchen is located because I am in loooove. My kitchen is about the size of this glorious marble-topped island, so to have all this space plus it fits a sofa and a dining table….*sigh*. I also really love the killer angled tile backsplash and one of my all-time favourite pendants lighting up the island (Lampe Gras). The rest of this location home in London is pretty sweet too.

Stalking on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 2 Jun 2018 by midcenturyjo

It’s Saturday and in between coffee dates with friends, grocery shopping and a few hours pottering in the garden I’ve been real estate stalking as I tend to do. I love to see what is waiting behind a firmly closed door or a conservative facade. Like this Federation era townhouse in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton North just a stone’s throw from the city centre. All Edwardian propriety on the outside. All light, bright, modern family fun on the inside. Fuschia pink kitchen anyone? Link here while it lasts.
