Hi folks. I’d like to thank everyone who has sent in entries (via email or on Instagram) over the past 11 years or so. It’s crazy to think how many pets I’ve featured on the blog over all those years. It seems interest is winding down so unfortunately this will be the last Monday’s pets on furniture post. It’s been a great run and I’ve had a blast sharing with you all. The #dtipetsonfurniture tag lives on via Instagram if you need to get your weekly fill (and want to continue tagging your photos) and you will always find me sharing photos of my heard on my Instagram account @kim_dti (especially in my stories) and on my cats’ account @cattttastrophic. Thanks you soooo much! XOXO

And some from me. Felix and Mimin chillin’ in the greenhouse with me, Felix relaxing on my bamboo lounge chair I found on Marketplace for $50, Frankie and Bernie enjoying their fav late afternoon spots in the living room while enjoying the air conditioning, and Felix napping in the greenhouse while I work.

I think mid century homes will always and forever be a favourite architectural style of mine. This home, ‘Villa Bonna’ in Hovås which is south of Gothenburg, Sweden, ticks all the right boxes for mid century century eye candy, with the bonus that it cantilevers over a rock face and a pond. Recently renovated, it’s stunning and I love the kitchen design with the large windows overlooking the outdoor space, and the teak slatted ceilings and walls are such a warm, earthy touch. Via sköna hem, homeowner is Linda Österbom of Studio A3, photos by Rebecca Martyn.

WOW! This 400 sq ft cabin in Swannanoa, North Carolina is a simple blend of Scandinavian and Japanese sensibilities and is so brilliantly laid out to maximize the small footprint. While being essentially one open space, it has a living room, breakfast nook, a bathroom, a kitchen, a media loft, a tea loft, and a bedroom. Designed by Shelter Collective – an interior design + architecture + custom furnishings studio whose attention to detail is impeccable. (You can rent this via Airbnb!)

I love when a designer embraces the traditional and adds some personality and drama to keep it current. Some delightful eye candy from the portfolio of Edinburgh, Scotland designer Lisa Guest.

Bringing my loft dreams to life in this dreamy industrial space created by Studio Bakker. In organic succession, Studio Bakker renovated, redesigned and styled this former archive attic in a historic Amsterdam canal house, transforming it into a loft style home consisting of five connected floors under two roofs. An enchanting route leads to an oasis of peace and quiet, decorated with earthy materials and corresponding color palette with natural light pouring in from various sides. A Wabi-sabi aesthetic provides the lens through which modern and vintage design pieces mix with a host of honest materials – including old and new woods, loam and granite, steel and aluminum, leather and linen. The styling subtly references the wealth of cultures housed beneath these roofs.
