My sister found the following photos on this website advertising exotic villa rentals. Luxurious and modern – yep, I’d stay there.

Elizabeth Zeschin is a New York City photographer who has won several awards and has been published in magazines such as Elle Decor, House and Garden, Martha Stewart Living and photographed the Martha Stewart Garden Book. Her portfolio is incredible. The photos have such a strong presence and that pink kitchen? That is definitively going in my file of photos to base my new kitchen renovation on.

I came across the website of Sixx Design recently and although Jo blogged about this husband and wife design team some time ago, I realized there were MANY more amazing spaces that hadn’t been included in her post. Such fun hits of colour, awesome modern art and just an all around air of eclecticism. I love it all.

A reader wrote the other day looking for some lighting inspiration. Darcy is thinking about purchasing an Arco lamp and hoped we could post some photos that include these lamps. Not a problem, since it is so popular in modern spaces. It is a very versatile lamp, used often in living rooms to anchor a seating area. It is also a fantastic solution in a dining room if there is no wiring above a dining table for a pendant light. My favourites are the retro versions with fiberglass shades. I covet one that I bought for $15 while thrifting one weekend. Hope this helps you come to a decision (to buy one) Darcy.
