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?

• • Nothing more exciting than a fabulous interior designer’s website that is unless it’s an updated website or even better a brand new one. First up Anne*Coyle Interiors.
    Next is Coddington Design. Melanie has a fabulous new website with even more gorgeous rooms.

    
    And finally what we all have been waiting for (in my case over two and a half years) Anna Spiro has launched her Black & Spiro website. Fabulous fabulous fabulous but you already know that because you’ve all been flicking through her portfolio hundreds of times since the launch a few days ago.

    

• • Just opened in Toronto, Atelier 688 is a gem of a design space started by artist/photographer/writer Alex Jowett. Think handcrafted unique design, quality workmanship, vintage and reclaimed materials. It’s where art, design and fashion collide. You’ll find more here.

• • Craving that iconic designer cushion but still on the hunt for a great price. Check out etsy store Plum Cushion. Kelly Wearstler’s latest fabric range, that notorious Chiang Mai Dragon, super ikats and lots more.

• • New from Bodie and Fou these simple, almost minimalist eco-friendly art prints. The Nest, Type Map, Hedgeraw and Endless Love are right on trend and gorgeous and fit an IKEA frame!.

• New York based Maki Yamamoto is Fabricteria Maki. Her fabric panels can be used as window treatments, space dividers, wall hangings, art pieces or bed spreads. Each piece is custom designed and hand sewn to make it a one of a kind artwork. She calls them fabric jewels.

Hi this is one of Jo’s friends here. Jo just wanted to let you know that although the police have taken her in for questioning over numerous stalking offences committed this week she promises to plead guilty if they charge her. Guilty and proud that she can’t get enough of vicarious visits to complete strangers’ homes. I’m off to bail her out now but she made me promise to post this St Kilda, Melbourne house (interiors by SJB) and tell you that she loves the courtyard and that deepest darkest bedroom. (For sale here while the link lasts.)

Remember this photo from earlier this month? I found it in photographer Eric Johnson’s portfolio. So often we never find out the designer or stylist responsible for the room itself. Not this time. All these gorgeous rooms are by interior designer Lori Graham. And her style? It’s old world meets urban cool. It’s layering and textures, brave colour choices and a modern twist on elegance. It’s perfectly lovely!

…. and I found this little gem. On a tiny vacant lot between period terraces Kavellaris Urban Design have not only created an environmentally sustainable family home but pushed the envelop of what we think of heritage values and the cultural significance of the built environment. It’s not just a “decorated shed” though but a space that reacts with and to its inhabitants as well as challenging what is private and what is public. Now for sale, you’ll find the real estate link here while it lasts.

… but your decorating dreams want to soar. Birdhouse Design’s Jessica McKay focuses on affordable design. She believes that everyone can have a gorgeous home regardless of how much they have in their budget. Her’s is a reuse and reinvent mantra both for its cost effectiveness and the green approach. You never know what’s lurking in the attic or basement especially when a lick of paint and some new fabric will transform the ugliest of ducklings. I love work like this because so many of us can’t afford a house full of high end designer pieces. Sometimes a guiding hand is all we need to transform our homes with what we have.
