Love interior designer Jodi Macklin‘s style. Bright, bold at times, functional and understated sophistication. Below are some of the spaces she has designed. Most of these photos are of a summer home featured in House Beautiful that is all about the beach. I needed to find something like this seeing that we’re getting below zero temperatures at night and I’m sitting here listening to the hum of the furnace.

Rachael Smith has photographed some pretty spectacular spaces. A totally dreamy Swedish summerhouse, the home of Laurence Llewelyn‐Bowen and my favourite, the home of Eero Aarnio. Yowzers. The photos themselves are spectacular, taking advantage of natural sunlight shining through the windows. Much more to see on her website.

Jo posted the classic elegance of Brooke Giannetti‘s interior designs last month and Brooke emailed recently wanting to share with us her talented architect husband Stephen’s collaboration with interior designer Madeline Stuart. It’s a property in Malibu that was featured in the September/October issue of Veranda. Talk about soothing, calm, warm and inviting. LOVE.

Check out the getaway condo of architects Tom Huth and Bruce Skiles Danzer in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Mid-century classics, bold artwork and cool colours make this home a new favourite of mine. It was featured in New England Home, and the magazine included a quote from Danzer that I think is priceless coming from an architect: “We used $3000 worth of paint rather than sink $50,000 in structural changes”. Something to note, coming from someone who would know.

Photographer Rodolphe Foucher emailed us recently to thank us for featuring one of his photos in a post a while back. Being the nosy person that I am, I went poking around his website only to discover we SO should have done a whole post on his work. His portfolio is filled with plenty incredible photos, so I emailed him back begging if I could post his work. He agreed. 🙂 Turns out he’s a really nice guy too! Here are my favourite photos from his website, but go on over and have a look yourself. There are landscape, places, architecture and still life photos that are must-sees as well.

The one below I had to post because I love the style and colours although it has nothing to do with interior design. Well, imagine it in a black frame with a white mat in a modern space. There, interior design.
