Stalking for hours

Posted on Thu, 27 Jun 2013 by midcenturyjo

Hooray! Squarespace is working again. For a few hours there I watched a circle go round and round and round while the blog didn’t load. Not anymore. It’s time to stalk a modern home in Kew, Melbourne. I’ve been stalking it for hours… and hours… and hours. Now it’s your turn. A little bit brutalist with hard concrete surfaces but softened with rugs and art and furniture. Soaring ceilings and cosy spots. Love the backyard too. Once again a great campaign by the real estate agents Marshall White including a video that sells the house even better than the photos. Link here while it lasts.

Britquirk

Britboho. Britbrash. Britquirk. Brittattered. Britstyle. Homes with personality. Homes that don’t take themselves seriously. Homes that look great with kids in them and the remains of last night’s boozy dinner with friends left uncleared on the table. Dogs and rambling gardens and wellies and knocks and dings and tarnish and way too much dusting and layers and layers of memories and family treasures. I love Britboho. I love this East Sussex home from locations firm Wilde & Watson. From the front door to the back paddock…. imperfectly perfect.

From Switzerland to Italy and across the seas to Australia. From Marie Claire Maison to Elle Decor to Inside Out and Real Living. From modern and crisp contemporary to well lived in and loved. Beautiful rooms captured beautifully by photographer Angelita Bonnetti.

Through the eyes of Sarah Cave

Posted on Tue, 25 Jun 2013 by midcenturyjo

Deep, rich, ridiculously beautiful. Simple, stunning and strikingly ordinary. Beauty in the everyday and the special. Maybe a reminder of just how singular the simple things in life can be? Take the time to look deeply into the colour and the texture, the shape and even the shabbiness. Take the time to see the world through the eyes of stylist Sarah Cave. Via Big Leo.

Marie Olsson Nylander encore

We all swooned over Marie Olsson Nylander’s home. I know I am still in deep denial that it is not my home. Deep, deep denial. One day I WILL live there. In the mean time I can lust after her styling work. Marie Olsson Nylander via Harvest Agency.
