Once upon a time I fell in love with a photo of a room, a bedroom that just spoke to me. Ngoc Minh Ngo took that shot. Ngoc is a contender for my all time fav photographer. We’ve featured her work before but it’s time for an encore. Love everything that she captures with her lens. There’s a spirit, a joy in her images. Photographer crush to the max. Not hard to see why!
As the sun slowly sets over this last chapter of The Apartment Book, by the editors of Apartment Life magazine, Meredith Corporation, 1980 we bid farewell to perms and platforms, chunky sofas and chunky food props. The 70s are slowly morphing into the 80s and if we didn’t know better we’d be predicting back in the day the final domination of the planet by house plants. Oh how I love this first picture. A market garden in old tins (including if you look closely Pepsi). I’m speechless as to why and you’d be too if you realised that out of “shot” (or scan in this case… it couldn’t all fit on the scanner bed) is a bedroom. A market garden in recycled cans bedroom. Only in the 70s!
…. packing Kim’s next thrifted box. Just have to post it now!
WINKS – weekend links. Here we list what has come in during the week, things we’ve found and things we think you’ll want to see. If you’d like to see your blog or website featured email us and if we think it fits with our readers we’ll link you. So what’s in this week?
Can I describe photographs as clean and minimal? Refreshingly simple but cleverly composed. Spare elegant spaces captured in an instant. Messages cleverly conveyed through a lens. This room is graceful, that design is effortless, unforced and natural. All these thoughts tumble through my mind as I view photographer Mark Eden Schooley’s work. Honest and beautiful. Real and remarkable. P.S. Has green ever been so beautiful?
Pleasant surprises come in all forms including comments on blogs that lead to websites and on to gorgeous rooms. I love the casual natural mix part costal, a little french, a little farmhouse, lots of earthy textures and relaxed family style of these spaces by interior designer Lyndsy Woods of L Kae Interiors. So livable and so lovely. And I found her because of a comment. Don’t you love the internet?!
