You’ll find me here

After following photographer Damian Russell here, there and everywhere you’ll find me here for the rest of the day. Relaxing in yet another fabulous photo by Mr Russell. A perfect space to relax.

Take me away Damian

Posted on Mon, 20 Feb 2012 by midcenturyjo

I’ve dreamed with Damian, crushed on him and called for encores. Today I’m surrendering to Damian. You win. You have me. How can I resist your photos? You’re like the Pied Piper of Hamelin (or should that be Rattenfänger von Hameln) and I’m following following. Can’t help it. It’s pure magic when you are this good with a camera. From the portfolio of photographer Damian Russell.

An uncomplicated style

Posted on Fri, 17 Feb 2012 by midcenturyjo

Simple, clean and never over styled. Are you finding that the more and more you are exposed to highly styled magazine photos and perfect high end design that you crave something a little less full on, a bit more uncomplicated? Like a breath of fresh air after all the stuffiness. Something a little messy not primped and preened into perfection. Something like the portfolio of stylist Leesa O’Reilly. I know I am.

Magnus Anesund part one

Two homes today from the portfolio of Swedish photographer Magnus Anesund. What I love most about Magnus’ work is the attention to the personal detail. The photos are like looking into the heart of the family that lives in each home. The first one an urban hangout for a creative family. It is almost like we are nosing around this home while the owner is making tea in another room. We’re carrying on a conversation but our eyes are darting everywhere drinking it all in. Great photos.

What on earth do TVs on walls, Desire to Inspire and Bang & Olufsen have in common? Nothing much except the new BeoVision 10 website. OK OK I’ll preempt this post by saying that if you owned such a stylish TV as the BeoVision 10 you wouldn’t have to worry about how it looked on the wall but Bang & Olufsen have taken it to the next level and asked artist/architect Marco Evaristti and stylist and antiques dealer Anja Alfieri to create a room with what can only be described as television as piece of art. These are the results. Beautiful rooms! Inspirational Living. And Desire to Inspire? We are one of the blogs Bang & Olufsen are crazy about. Those Danes always had good taste 😉
