Perhaps a new Sunday feature

Posted on Sun, 3 Oct 2010 by KiM

Over the last couple days I was agonizing once again over what the heck I was going to do for today’s Flickr Finds post. I was SO running out of ideas for those posts and these days I am finding that alot of photos on FLickr that I’d LOVE to use are download-disabled. I thought about instead doing a “weekly recap” – showcasing all of my favourite photos from the posts we had done the week prior. I’ll give it a try this week and see how it goes (click on the photo to go to the post it was featured in).

Covet Garden

Posted on Fri, 1 Oct 2010 by KiM

There’s another new online magazine in town folks! And this one is CANADIAN!! We received an email from Jessica, the art director, who with Lynda Felton (stylist) and Rhonda Riche (writer), decided to create an online mag joining all of the experience they had in the Canadian magazine industry (the likes of Canadian Living, Chatelaine, Flare, Style at Home, Canadian House & Home….). They say Covet Garden is for folks who are curious about real spaces. It’s a peek into the homes and lives of some of Toronto’s most interesting people – but the kicker is they are spaces that have not been styled by interior decorators. Love that! I grabbed a bunch of photos from their first 2 issues. The first several are of the Leslieville home of teachers Shelley and Brendon and their daughter Clover.


  

  

Reader request – white kitchen appliances

Posted on Thu, 30 Sep 2010 by KiM

Reader request time. This one comes from Kelly: “I’m looking for inspiring kitchens that feature white appliances. We moved into a home in the suburbs of Chicago and stove in the house was a brand new white stove. When we replaced the refrigerator and dishwasher we also chose the more-economical-than-stainless white. Most inspirational kitchens feature stainless appliances but I would love to see what you come up with. I’ve only seen three good examples: One featuring the new Martha Stewart cabinets at Home Depot (the “Ox Hill” image in the gallery)…and this image from Canadian House & Home…and this image with white appliances and black cabinets.” I was excited to find images of white appliances for Kelly because when I had started thinking about how I wanted to renovate my kitchen, I kept coming back to the idea of white cabinets, countertop and appliances and adding colour simply through a backsplash or accessories. I admit I was nervous at the thought of buying all white appliances because stainless is SO prominant these days. Anyway, here are many examples of kitchens with white appliances (including some all-white-kitchen ones) that hopefully will help Kelly figure out what to do.

Cobbold Du Pont – part 2

Posted on Tue, 28 Sep 2010 by KiM

As I promised on Friday, here is another look at beautifully designed spaces created by the talented Rebecca Du Pont De Bie and Caroline Cobbold of London’s Cobbold Du Pont Interiors. This time it’s a little less rustic and a little more Parisian glam, in a private residence in London that they completed last year. Gorgeous!!
