I’m a bit late posting this. As soon as I got home from work I jumped in the car and took off to the nearest Benjamin Moore store to get some teal paint for my dressing room. We’re due for 50 cm of snow this weekend so I figured if I’m stuck indoors, I could at least make myself useful and paint something. (The colour I wanted, BM’s Bella Blue, doesn’t exist in Canada apparently. I went with Blue Spa instead). And after all that, it turns out I had no post ready to publish, so I found some photos my sister had stashed from a site of a group of photographers. Enjoy!

Guy Mendlin is a photographer in Tel-Aviv who has quite a diverse portfolio. When he opened his own studio in 1997, he began concentrating on still-life and fashion photography, then turned to lifestyle and portraits. He also has done some work shooting interiors, which he also excels at, with perfect lighting and crispness. Lovely!

Lately I’ve been pondering what to do with my bedroom. My last chocolate brown bedroom got a pretty good response but I’m ready for a change (frankly, I’m always ready for change) and my new bedroom is significantly smaller and in need of a lighter/brighter scheme. To get my creative juices flowing for yet another room redo, I thought I’d post some photos of bedrooms that caught my eye for one reason or another.

Cristina, from Modena, Italy emailed us about her new Etsy store, maiacrippichicca, and her paintings are so pretty that I thought I’d share a few with you and hopefully help her get her store off the ground. Plus, I have a thing for art featuring women so I’m REALLY loving her store, and how captivating each piece is. You’ve got to go have a look. Thanks Cristina!

Jo posted about interior designer Amy Lau about a year ago, and when I happened upon her website, I found many more great photos of her work that I wanted to post. Her love of mid-century design makes these spaces so appealing to me. Lots of fun colours, and great vintage furnishings.
