The New York design firm 2Michaels was created by sisters Jayne and Joan Michaels. Their style ranges from mid-century, to contemporary to more mid-century. It’s no wonder as their design sense developed in Italy, where they were exposed to the likes of Franco Albini, Gio Ponti and Carlo Mollino. (Nothing to do with MCM, but check out that closet/bookcase in the bedroom photo!)

Caroline Beaupère began her interior design firm in December of 2005 and has been creating spaces for clients all over North America. Her style is a mix of modern and traditional, with fun colour combinations that render timeless and unique spaces.

That’s it, I’m moving south. When I came across this fabulously beachy South Beach apartment designed by New York based Joey Horton, I started packing. It’s so comfortable but modern. All the white and white-washed and timber furniture is so relaxing. Perfect for a place on the beach.

I happened upon the website This Ain’t No Disco (it’s where we work) the other day while googling for blog material. It showcases some of the best agency (advertising, media, music, technology etc.) interiors in the world. It was so much fun to see the creative environments where people work. Because I work for the government I’m stuck in a cubicle with green walls and blue industrial carpeting and a cream desktop. It’s gross. I’ve been wanting to decorate it lately and when I have a permanent office in a couple months I’m SOOOO going to pimp it out. This site is so inspirational to get me to actually do something about the space I have to deal with 8.5 hours a day. I hope this inspires others out there stuck in a cubicle or equally horrible office to go nuts and make the space your own.

This is the last day of my 4 day weekend and I’ve got a ton of stuff to get done around the house. (I almost said that it’s finally a nice day out, but then turned around to find dark clouds and sprinkling rain. UGH!!!) So I’m taking a blog break today. I leave you with the following photo from Marie Claire Maison, because I have recently become totally smitten with Moroccan/Indian decor.
