There is something so dramatic about London based interior stylist Holly Bruce‘s work. Rich, deep colour. Dramatic. Perhaps not something to transfer directly to your living room or bedroom but oh the daydreams and schemes I am cooking up with my head full of Holly’s ideas.

Casa Biniaraix

Posted on Thu, 30 Jan 2014 by midcenturyjo

The world is so hectic. Life is crashing from problem to solution and back again. The pure serenity of this house in Biniaraix, Mallorca is like a salve. Restrained, beautifully curated, with a simplicity of line, palette and finish. Understated luxury. Renovation and extention by Gabriel Santos.

Just a delightful little taste of the work of photographer Dan Duchars. I love his use of natural light in these shoots. Almost like an extra presence in the space.

Oh deer!

Are you over the deer trend yet? I thought I was. Then I saw this. Majestic beast! From the portfolio of stylist Lyndell Miller. Lyndell is a food stylist (try not to lick the screen when you are over on her website) but she also has a fabulous portfolio of cafe/restaurant images. That’s where I found Mr Deer oh dear!

The house in the sea

Posted on Wed, 29 Jan 2014 by midcenturyjo

Imagine living on an island (when the tide is in) in a 1930’s house with its own suspension bridge. Imagine spectacular views along the Cornish coast. Imagine a stylish home of understated luxury with a muted colour palette of charcoal greys and neutrals. The ultimate in beach houses? You don’t need to imagine staying there. It’s a luxury holiday rental. The House in the Sea, Newquay, Cornwall via Unique Home Stays
