“A humble, single level living pavilion on the street side draws on the simplicity of surrounding beach houses, many of which were owner built over the years. Connection to the garden and landscape was imperative to the design. Kangaroos literally inhabit the house. The structural system is exposed and honest. Operable screens allow for the control of privacy and when the whole house is opened up it almost disappears, evoking the social mood of camping.”

Open, honest and laid back. Bendalong Beach House by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects.

I wanted to share another project by Shelter Collective, who was responsible for the interior design (with architecture by Maryann Thompson Architects) of this fabulous Martha’s Vineyard getaway. It has serious Scandinavian + modern + clean lines + cabin vibes and is perfectly casual and relaxing.

Hi folks. I’d like to thank everyone who has sent in entries (via email or on Instagram) over the past 11 years or so. It’s crazy to think how many pets I’ve featured on the blog over all those years. It seems interest is winding down so unfortunately this will be the last Monday’s pets on furniture post. It’s been a great run and I’ve had a blast sharing with you all. The #dtipetsonfurniture tag lives on via Instagram if you need to get your weekly fill (and want to continue tagging your photos) and you will always find me sharing photos of my heard on my Instagram account @kim_dti (especially in my stories) and on my cats’ account @cattttastrophic. Thanks you soooo much! XOXO

And some from me. Felix and Mimin chillin’ in the greenhouse with me, Felix relaxing on my bamboo lounge chair I found on Marketplace for $50, Frankie and Bernie enjoying their fav late afternoon spots in the living room while enjoying the air conditioning, and Felix napping in the greenhouse while I work.

I think mid century homes will always and forever be a favourite architectural style of mine. This home, ‘Villa Bonna’ in Hovås which is south of Gothenburg, Sweden, ticks all the right boxes for mid century century eye candy, with the bonus that it cantilevers over a rock face and a pond. Recently renovated, it’s stunning and I love the kitchen design with the large windows overlooking the outdoor space, and the teak slatted ceilings and walls are such a warm, earthy touch.

It’s like I say week after week. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it better be somewhere stylish. Office by Chicago-based Elizabeth Krueger Design.
