Photographer time for me today and I’m loving the portfolio of German snapper Heiner Orth. Look at that chalet! Look at that fox in the bathroom! Heiner has a great eye and his shots have a lovely clean line. Can I say that? Beauty and style straight up, no fuss. There’s something that Herr Orth does better than interiors though and that’s photographing dogs. OMG you must go to his site and lose yourself in the canine fun. Simply stunning!

It’s a Turkish delight. Fashion designer now interior designer Asli Tunca takes traditional and ramps it up. Great architectural bones help but what she puts in those rooms is just delicious. I want that red bed soooooo bad it hurts. The gentleman’s bathroom is a tailored treat and don’t get me started on the shell grotto shower. OTT is just so wrong that it is just so right.

The flood waters have receded and things are grindingly returning to normal for a lot of us here. The flood survivors face a mammoth clean up job. I feel very petty complaining about the 4 and a half hour return journey I now face each day to get to work (flood damaged train lines). First mud and now a thick dried crust cover everything and the devastation is heartbreaking. I want to run away to this pristine white dream of a boutique hotel in Belgium. A girl’s shopping break? Yes please. And no mud in sight! Sleep in the City via the ever fabulous Studio Anndacht.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away a castle awoke from its slumber, shook its traditional roots and decided it wanted to be thoroughly modern. Well almost. A fairytale castle always has to be just a little bit fairytale. I love this modern take on a traditional home. Katrine Martensen-Larsen of KML Design always finds the most wonderful places.

Is it possible to love a house so much you want to leave your husband and run away to it? If so I may just cheat on Kelvin with furniture designer and maker Mark Tuckey‘s house. I have loved it ever since I first saw it in Inside Out a number of years ago and now I’ve stumbled upon it while real estate stalking. Of course Mark and his family have had a number of houses I would gladly leave my husband for and you can why in his press section. A woman cannot be blamed for losing her heart and head over that bathroom. I’m sure I could never afford it so I better stay where I am and just lust after it. Link to the listing here and Mark’s website here. I need to lie down. My heart is fluttering!

And just a couple more views I lifted from Mark’s website. God I love his furniture as much as the house!
