You’ve seen his work everywhere. Name a leading shelter magazine and his photos have graced their pages. US, Europe, here in Australia. If it’s all about being on top of good design then you can guarantee that Trevor Tondro‘s photos will be the ones that take you there. I’ve featured his work before. Kim’s a huge fan too. But then again aren’t we all? Drum roll please….

Stalking in Zetland in Sydney, a suburb more known for its apartment blocks than its family homes. A double fronted terrace with a sunny courtyard, a sparkling white kitchen and the cutest little girl’s bed tucked up under the eaves. All on only a 240sqm block. Link here while it lasts.

Whenever I need inspiration I find myself flicking through our archives and flitting from website to website to remind myself just how amazing are the people and places we feature on Desire to Inspire. Today’s revisit is to Spanish photographer Manolo Yllera. Not just for his take on the stunning interiors he shoots but for his own amazing home and his studios. (You can see more on his website). So as the weekend closes in and I’m contemplating a little rearranging I’m drawn to these images, each a little different, each amazingly beautiful but what I find so inspiring is Manolo’s understanding of positive and negative space. Sometimes it isn’t what is there but what isn’t. Happy weekend everyone!

Photographer Laura Moss has captured my imagination. Her shots are full of beautiful light, unusual angles, clever composition and a little bit of honesty in a photoshopped world. Do I spy a lamp cord front and centre for all to see? So that’s how they turn it on 😉

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.
