Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 28 Jun 2014 by midcenturyjo

Do you have to drag yourself, like me, into work this weekend? Wouldn’t be so bad if your work place looked like this. Stylish, minimal, calm… then your colleagues turn up. Just kidding.

Stalking a church

Posted on Fri, 27 Jun 2014 by midcenturyjo

It’s no secret that Kim and I worship a church conversion. We love to see these old buildings have a second coming. We haven’t found very many lately but the wait is over. It’s time to sing the praises of my latest stalking target. The little old church is a one bedroom apartment while the church hall out the back has become an open plan home with loads of light and space. Live in the hall and run a holiday let in the old church? My idea of heaven. It’s in Mount Hawthorn, Perth in Western Australia. Link here while it lasts.

I don’t know what I like more in this 1940’s Colonial Bungalow by Los Angeles based Disc Interiors. Inside or out? Decisions, decisions. Let’s call it a draw.

It’s no secret that Kim and I love Sarah Lavoine‘s work. LURVE. Interior designer crush. This Parisian apartment with her signature blue providing the colour drama is just about perfect. French style that is oh so chic.
