Sweet Pea, a rescue kitty, was discovered high in a tree after someone heard her meow for help. After much coaxing she was “grounded”, and we were the lucky ones who brought her home. Unless kept indoors, she would find her way to higher ground. She has stayed the same size all of her years, never seeming to grow, but in this her twelfth year (give or take), she has developed a soft round Buddha belly and her fur has grown soft and full. She loves walking around in the crook of my husband’s arm & never seems to stop purring. She is the sweetest pea ever. Pictured here on our screened in porch, Sweet Pea spends her days napping & dreaming of chasing squirrels & chipmunks in the garden.

And a couple from my phone. Bernie gazing out the window in the guest bedroom (a.k.a. the Mexico room) and former feral brothers Bernie and Frankie snuggling with Phoebe on a cold day. 

An elegant blend of comfort and glamour. An intricate layering of materials and detailing. Patterns and textures and art that add so much dimension and intrigue. By London & Miami based architect and designer Natalia Miyar. 

It’s a little bit Scandi and a little bit Shaker. A little bit Arts and Crafts, a little bit country and definitely contemporary. You’d think that it might be a little bit confused but this renovation in Flinders, Victoria by Melbourne-based interior designers Austin Design Associates is stylish, welcoming and quite simply beautiful. (The kitchen is a dream!)

There’s colour and pattern, quirk and personality, new and old. It’s lived in and layered and so much fun. Why would you be a minimalist when you can surround yourself with so much character? I couldn’t choose just one home by Portland, Oregon based interior designer Max Humphrey so I cherry picked my favs.
