Hundreds and thousands

Posted on Mon, 19 Sep 2011 by midcenturyjo

Do they call the multi-coloured sprinkles on top of cakes “hundreds and thousands” in your part of the world? I never know anymore if a saying I have taken for granted all my life is common currency around the world. But it’s hundreds and thousands that sprang to mind when I saw this cute as a button home shot by photographer Patric Johansson and styled by Myrica Bergqvist. A white, bright confection of a house with just the right sprinkle of colour.  A perfect way to rev up the energy to start the week. (Via Söderberg Agentur.)

Stalking on a sunny Saturday …

… and what better house than one with  a generous dose of sunshine yellow. So bright and fresh, light and white, yellow and… green. How fab is that green bedroom? Hope your weekend is as fun as this cute sandstone terrace. Ah Darlinghurst, Sydney I love you. Link here while it lasts.

Black as night (with dirty floors)

More photos of my bedroom paint job over on my page! Floor is now washed… thank goodness. Might start putting it together tomorrow if the fumes have cleared.

Bijou brilliant

First admired on Remodelista (still my number one go to blog) this elegant space saving loft bed solution by Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture is only surpassed by the actual project.  The loft bed image led me to this bijou studio/workspace that is not only beautiful in its simplicity but inspiring in its spatial solutions to small scale living. Brilliant. (Those ingenious stairs remind me a little of these.)

A leafy lovely

I couldn’t go today without one more fabulous garden by Eckersley Garden Architecture. How fabulous to sit and sip tea in the morning sun, share a communal platter of food in the dappled shade. Lush and lovely, relaxed and just perfect.
