Freedom’s Winter collection 2013

Posted on Sun, 24 Feb 2013 by midcenturyjo

Out tomorrow Monday 25 February… Freedom‘s latest range. Just a little tease for now. I’m lovin’ the retro inspired chairs here. (Nine new chairs, 12 fabrics, 3 leathers.) Aussie readers start getting excited. I’ve seen shots of the new pieces and I know which ones I will be rushing in to buy. More tomorrow 🙂

Stalking South Yarra

Posted on Sat, 23 Feb 2013 by midcenturyjo

I’m in Sydney for the trade fairs and I’m stalking in Melbourne. I could have arranged that a little. Perhaps I could have made it to an open for inspection if I had chosen a Sydney home. No instead I am in South Yarra in my virtual world. Pity I can’t see this one in the flesh. So much is promised in the photos, so much unseen. A little snooping in person would be the only thing that could satisfy me. Link here while it lasts.

Grey

A simple, yet stylish grey bedroom. Love the mirrored “barn door”. Photography by Jody Kivort.

Up the stairs

Climb the stairs higher and higher. A wonderland awaits. Vintage and found, old and new, fine architectural detail and quirky kitsch. Dreaming of owning this wonderful home… via Hi-Location. (They have the best locations 😉

Reading in bed

Posted on Thu, 21 Feb 2013 by midcenturyjo

Think I might just have to settle in with a good book for an early night. I’m off for the weekend to the trade fairs in Sydney. Somehow I don’t think my hotel room will be as stylish as this bedroom by SJB. Just enough contrast between sleek contemporary design and the earthiness of vintage kilims. Slip between those crisp sheets…. aaaaaah!
