Simply lovely …

The kitchen and the photo. White delight with just a touch of wood captured by photographer Lesley Unruh.

 

Steep stalking

Posted on Wed, 26 Oct 2011 by midcenturyjo

Oh the view! Oh the vertigo! Aside from heart palpitations climbing up to this lovely home and the fact that the family dog will need to be replaced by the family goat it’s worth it for the view. I’m real estate stalking in exclusive Palm Beach on the northern beaches of Sydney. Stone and sea and palms. I just want to curl up with a coffee and magazine and be mesmerised as the waves roll in. Link here while it lasts.

Love of a kitchen

Please Sir can I have more? More of this kitchen. Alex MacArthur antiques dealer and creator of decadent interiors. Check out the rest of his home over on his site. It’s what happens when you own an Aladdin’s cave for a shop.

Just gets better with time

Rooms ripped from the latest pages of the your favourite magazine, right? Would you believe that this Antwerp home by Vincent Van Duysen was designed in 2001. It’s so fresh. So now but still so timeless. Fads come and go but 10 years later we can look at these photos and say not only fashion forward for the time but just right for now.

And 1998. Yes 13 years old.

Light lust

I love the Giogali chandelier designed by Angelo Mangiarotti in 1967. Love. I’m thinking of one in my dining room. I’m also loving these fabulous photos featuring the Giogali in all its glory by Jim Bastardo (via Big Leo). Makes my decision so much easier. Just what a good commercial photographer should do. Capture an image that captures your dreams. (You can see Kim’s post on Jim Bastardo here.)
