I would never complain again about working on a Saturday if my workplace looked like this. The design details are like jewellery for the room. No, whether artisan maker or sales assistant this could never be considered work. ANDRESGALLARDO’s studio-shop in Madrid by Savvy.

Dear Santa,

I know it still 111 days until Christmas but you might need the extra time to work on my present. You see I’ve fallen quite hard for this Sag Harbor Boat House by Kevin O’Sullivan and Associates. Don’t bother wrapping it or popping it in my stocking. Perhaps you could just give me a lift in your sleigh to Sag Harbor to my new boat house instead? Oh and maybe leave me a boat at the end of the jetty… and bring all my blog friends for lunch? Thanks Santa. I promise I’ve been good… most of the time.

Blogging about incredible design is a hazardous pursuit. I kid you not. Hazardous to your peace of mind. How can I erase from my mind’s eye the wondrous sight of these cabins settled within a glorious garden on the slopes of Mill Valley, California? I can’t. I’ll spend the day dreaming about how and why and when and what I’d do if they were mine and I’ll fall asleep with that roof garden slowly intruding my nocturnal revelries.

Simple and beautifully made. Shouldn’t that be our mantra for the pieces we live with in our homes? Like this collaboration between deVOL Kitchens and designer and wood man, Sebastian Cox. That black kitchen cabinet makes my heart sing. You can see more on the process over on my page.
