A love of dark colours is evident in this 2100 ft² renovated and extended home in London by Brian O’Tuama Architects. So it’s a win in my book already, and then they threw in some of my favourite Farrow & Ball wallpapers, plus the paint job on the exterior wins bonus points. (Photos: Ed Reeve)

Today’s post is in honour of Jinxamus Pinkerton (Jinx), who passed away last week. So sorry Barbara. 🙁

This is Obe the Welsh Terrier on her Florence Knoll Chair. She knows style when she see it.

One from my sister of her absolutely gorgeous cat Carl.

And a couple of my big boy Felix, who seems to be doing awesome despite having lymphoma.

This may be my all time favourite warehouse conversion ever featured on this here blog. This beauty is a recently converted and extended ironmongers warehouse in London. THE KITCHEN!!! A total dream in tile, concrete, walnut, marble, copper, brass and brick. TO DIE FOR!!! I would stop there but I am also a new huge fan of terrazzo flooring so there’s that too. Available as a location home through Shoot Factory.

Rancho Santa Fe villa, in all its earthy, rustic glorious goodness. A place I would be eternally happy living in. Designed by the always impressive Atelier AM.

Starting the day off right with some Paris beauties by Cassandra Vafadari-Miara of Vafadari Architecture. Those Parisians tend to be really creative with their use of colour, and wallpaper. Also, Paris apartments always have the most amazing hardwood floors and mouldings. *sigh*
