Love it when you recheck a website that gave you such pleasure the first time round only to find even more fabulousness. Kim spotlighted the stunning portfolio of Trine Thorsen at the beginning of the year. Gorgeous work! But wait there’s more. Yes this über talented Norwegian photographer has updated her site and her shots take my breath away. You know the mantra – lighting, composition, crop – but it’s true these photos are beautiful. Go check the website again and reintroduce yourself to Trine’s work.

OK! OK! I know by now most of you have devoured every photo over at Airspace locations but….. I had to post one more. Oh this house is girly girl perfection. Confection without the calories. Don’t you wish your significant other would let you drape the house in pink and damask? Better still don’t you pine for the days when you were single and could do whatever you wanted to the bedroom?!

As clean lined and modern as the spaces he captures, these shots by Brisbane photographer David Sanderson combine interesting angles and crops to provide the connection between inside and out, architecture and interior design. His pictures are simple, at times almost stark but they are honest in their interpretation of these minimalist spaces. Check out his personal work too. Great shots. As an aside it’s fun recognising the local architects’ work or commercial buildings I’ve been in. That last photo? The red cafe? It was actually a real estate office now gone. Sad. They made good coffee.

We’re taking a peak inside Decorating and Design by Jacqueline Inchbald, Cassell and Company, London, 1971. Jacqueline was the founder and principal of the Inchbald School of Design and Fine Arts in London and an arbiter of taste for the time. Rooms from all the best designers including David Hicks are included in its pages. Unfortunately most are in black and white but those that are in colour shriek colour. Perhaps engraved glass panels surrounding your toilet and bidet is just the inspiration you have been looking for.

Went trawling through the thrift stores today and found this cane…. um…. drum table/storage box/thingy. It’s perfect as a side table for my chair (and was ridiculously cheap). Thought I’d show you what this corner of my home looks like today. Knowing me it won’t look like this by next weekend after I’ve been hunting in the thrift stores again 🙂
