A sweet little piece of Parisian architectural candy. Ornate touches to the ceilings, old wooden floors and scrolly iron work on the balcony. Beautiful bones juxtaposed with midcentury and modern. Then bam! Colourful riot on the wall. A little pastille of perfection by Camille Hermand Architectures.

Is it really five years since we were introduced to the work of Summer Thornton on Desire to Inspire? As is my habit I’ll skip back and forward through our archives and click over to websites to see what the designers and photographers, stylists and architects have been up to since we last visited. Imagine the smile that spread across my face when I revisited Summer Thornton Design and discovered her take on the bachelor pad. Masculine and multilayered, elegant yet casual when needed. A touch of humour and bucket loads of style.

She describes herself as Los Angeles based Portrait and Interiors Photographer. I describe her as genius. Her work is crisp and simple yet packed with everything you need to know. Or should I say everything you need to covet especially if your thing is retro. Beautiful use of positive and negative space and colour as punctuation point. Take me away to a retrolicious land Beth Coller.

When you wish upon a star your dreams come true. The kitchen of the Milano Brera apartment by Dimore Studio. Just as tasty as the kitchen we all love from their Milano Solferino apartment.

Like a child’s drawing. A rudimentary shape recognisable as a house. It wasn’t there yesterday. Now settling softly in a new mown field with walls closed, little hint of what awaits within. Throw open the walls and breath deep. A simple structure, a simple life. Simply a dream. The ÁPH80 portable home by Spanish firm ÁBATON.
