A luxurious bathroom by Anne Hepfer. I think even the fabulous Ms Hepburn would have wanted to linger.

Time for colour. Time for detail. Time for luxury finishes, for high-end projects. Time for sophistication. After so much of the scandi boho casual trend it is time for a cosmopolitan, urban elegance. Toronto based interior designer Anne Hepfer creates lush, rich rooms transcending eras and trends but still fresh and inspiring. Enjoy!

One of my favourite vintage shops in Sydney, quintessential duckeggBLUE has a new (two issues so far) online magazine, The quintessential Magazine. If you love all things found, industrial and antique then you are going to love this small but beautifully curated and interactive online offering. Shop owner Leanne Carter-Taylor and ex creative director of Inside Out magazine Tracy Lines are the creative force behind The quintessential Magazine. A perfect partnership producing an evocative collection of inspiring people and pieces.

A tiny two storey apartment by Prague architects SMLXL Studio makes clever use of a difficult layout (three chimney breast pierce the space). White painted brick, open plan living, pallets as furniture and a definite industrial vibe all add up to a stylish home for its young owner. The original story is from Czech magazine Bydleni iDNES with thanks to reader Bara for the link and translation!

New photographer crush! I love every image in self taught Nicole Franzen‘s portfolio. Delicious. Richly layered, beautifully considered lighting, evocative and inspirational. A visual feast. Brooklyn based Franzen may be an amazingly gifted snapper but she is even more obsessed with food, cooking it, styling it, capturing it on film. You can see more on her blog La Buena Vida – the good life. Yum.
