With work published in leading design magazines including Country Living, House Beautiful, Cottages & Gardens, British House & Garden and Coastal Living it is easy to see why I’m crushing on photographer Keith Scott Morton. It’s a soft, relaxed look at a more traditional style but definitely not stuffy. Oh no not stuffy. It’s fresh like sunshine dried sheets, warm like well polished furniture and comfortable as that old family chair. It’s amazing though that Keith ventures out to take such wonderful photos. He lives at the most wonderful Old Orchard Nursery on Long Island. What a life!

Is winter on the wane in the northern hemisphere? Is spring whispering promises of things to come? If it is still all winter gloom in your neck of the woods then do I have the picture to cheer you up. By the super snapper Petra Bindel via Agent Bauer. The woman is a genius.

Fabulous rooms by Australian stylist Indiana Foord (via KHM). Once again I’m drawn to simple clean aesthetic. Ordinary beauty in extraordinary spaces. I’m coveting all of them and isn’t that what a good stylist does? Creates the dream, displays the dream, sells the dream.

Another church conversion to add to our comprehensive “what to do with an old church or what not to do” list. This reuse of church space as office space can be found in Brisbane. ( I can’t believe I didn’t think of it earlier. I used to drive past it all the time.) Mowbraytown Presbyterian Church built in 1885 and redesigned (or is that adaptively re-used) by Base Architecture.

Beautiful interiors come to life through the lens of Swedish photographer Idha Lindhag. Vignettes vibrate with the loveliness of ordinary everyday beauty. It’s almost like I want to take flight like a bird breaking free from the light…. oh bad prose! Good photos though 😉
