I will be posting over the next few days my favourite photos of the year, by room type. The dining rooms from this year (and by this year I mean that I’ve saved on Flickr after Jan 1 ’08) that have inspired me are below.
Reasons I love these: anything that looks Scandinavian, bold grouping of photography, bold colours, crystal chandelier over a harvest table, that built-in banquette is to DIE FOR, moody grey walls and floors (again), book storage, eclectic vibe, mismatched chairs…
I will be posting over the next few days my favourite photos of the year, by room type. The living rooms from this year (and by this year I mean that I’ve saved on Flickr after Jan 1 ’08) that have inspired me are below – half of them anyway, as I found too many for just one post. This is part 2.

I was going to say which one of the bunch really turns my crank but there’s something in each one that I adore, like grey paint, photography as art, patchwork sofas, glossy sky blue floors, mid-century/hollywood regency vibes, bare light bulbs, coffee tables made of thick pieces of timber…

Looking for some last minute holiday gift ideas? Here are some for those who are eco-conscious thanks to 2Modern (click on photos for details).
I know, I know, I hate to break it to you all, but it’s time to start thinking about Christmas. And if you’re lacking in ideas, go have a look at 2Modern‘s gift shop. They have it divided up in sections – for the pet, for the kid, for the cook and many more, and also by price. I went through their “for the trendsetter” section and LOVE what they’ve got as suggestions. Here are some of my favourites – click on each photo to see details.
