I’m been a big fan of Aussie stylist Emma O’Meara. Her work has appeared in Inside Out, Real Living and House & Garden just to name a few. Now she has embarked on a new adventure with photographer Jason Furnari.  They have opened an online print store called Our Print Collection where they offer affordable photographic art for interiors – limited edition pieces, either unframed or framed. I love Jason’s photographs and how Emma has styled the shots on the website. Now I just have to choose a favourite!

I had to revisit the home of interior designer Caecilia Potter as it is one of my all-time favourite homes we have featured on the blog. A Victorian mansion in Melbourne, Australia, this home is spectacular in its stateliness, architecture, furnishings….everything. It is EVERYTHING. (Photos: Atticus & Milo and The Design Files)

Let’s end the week with a contemporary take on the classic mid century bachelor pad that hangs from the hillsides of California. This Trousdale Estates, Beverley Hills home is by Studio William Heffner but screw up your eyes, stare at the screen, and let your mind wander to episodes of Mad Men. The setting is spectacular and the house a mid century modern marvel.

As I mentioned in my previous post, interior designer Maria Brito is an art aficionado who loves to decorate spaces with bold often photographic statement pieces. Which is why I am now her new biggest fan. 🙂

My favourite art medium is photography. One of my biggest pet peeves is how photography framed behind glass only seems to show really awful glares if there is a window in the room. The worst is trying to photograph this. Plus, framing costs a fortune. The photograph above is fantastic, and the simple way in which it is hung, without a frame and possibly laminated, is a great solution. I have a photo of my Himalayan fluffball Milo that I want to blow up and laminate (on a thin backing) like this, and I’m even more sure now that this is the way to go.
