Emily Gilbert

Posted on Thu, 27 Jan 2011 by midcenturyjo

It’s easy to see that New York interiors and architectural photographer Emily Gilbert started her career as an artist, even moving on to be a set dresser for TV and film. She loves a room. She loves the contents. She understands what makes a room tick. She composes, she almost caresses, she snaps. It’s gorgeous. You can follow how she approaches her commissions on her blog and drink in even more fab photos over there.

  

  

  

  

  

  

White light Parisian bright

Posted on Wed, 26 Jan 2011 by midcenturyjo

Ah bliss! Paris home of Australian fashion design Martin Grant. White. Tick. Aged timber. Tick. Midcentury and thrift finds. Tick. Licks of colour. Tick. Beauty but nothing too, too precious. Tick. Brilliant feature from new fav site Vårtnya Hem. Tick. Packing bags. Tick. Invading unknown Aussie expat’s home. Tick tick.

Holiday. Holiday. Holiday. Click my heels three times and I’m there. If only! Want to join me in Vietnam at Six Senses Con Dao? Vietnam is a country I have always wanted to visit. And after our whirlwind tour a peaceful break on the beach at this very stylish new resort and spa. Yes please!

I have a thing for modular housing. Pavilions, kits, pods. Love ’em. Small spaces that alone or in combination allow you to configure your dream layout in confined spaces or the big wide yonder. Small footprints. Small impact. Small spaces just right for big ideas. This cutie is from kitHAUS and if you click over to their site you can enter their competition to hatch your next big idea staying in this kitHAUS at Arroyo Grande, CA. Look at that view!
