The spaces featured in the portfolio of photographer Noah Webb are stunning. The composition of each creates such a cool vibe, and showcases the extra-special features of each such as the gorgeous artwork and beautiful fabrics. He even had a cat on a chair photo. Gotta love that.

Environa Studio is one of Australia’s leading sustainable architecture practices that integrates architecture, interiors and landscape into some pretty phenomenal spaces. Such incredible materials used such as the different wood and tile flooring, and perfectly placed windows to take advantage of the landscape. Modern masterpieces.

Well, it’s good to be back blogging (although what I should really be doing is sleeping) and of course Jo didn’t listen to me about not posting in my absence. OH WELL. She’s not a very good listener. So I worked ALL weekend, and the next 3 weeks or so will be slightly less chaotic. It was so nice to finally have time to check my emails, and I found a lovely surprise when I opened Ben‘s email. It included some amazing photos…I’ll let him explain:

“I am a new interior designer and have just completed my very first showcase house! I’d like to submit some photographs of a “faux bois bathroom” I just designed for this year’s San Francisco decorator showcase house. The inspiration was a trip through Sweden last summer where rooms were a dazzling mix of high and low end furniture. My goal was to create a very serene and ethereal space using a mix of styles — traditional & modern, formal & rustic. It’s a mix that can be hard to achieve, but produces spectacular results with the right balance. The room meant to be elegant but restrained. Very appropriate to the way we live today!”

These photos are going in my inspiration file right away. I have 2 bathrooms to renovate and this fits me to a T. Thanks Ben!!! (Click on them for super-sized version)

I also found these equally incredible photos on his website. WOW.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you all know that I need to take a little break from blogging due to an INSANE workload at my day job. I just got home (it’s 10 pm) and realized I have no posts ready for tomorrow and all I want to is sleep because tomorrow I might be pulling an all-nighter. So my apologies, and I hope to be back early next week if all goes well this weekend. (Jo will be doing her usual thing so there will still be new posts, just fewer).

Because I’m so tired and hungry and cranky I thought why not just throw up a photo I’ve taken. This is from last weekend – a view into my backyard and Mimin, relaxing in the sun.

Guillaume de Laubier‘s photographs are so dramatic and are taken in such perfect moody light to enhance the style of the spaces. You can’t help but be drawn in to each one.
