One of my favourite features in the latest issue of Inside Out was this Boerum Hill home. Old and new, found and repurposed, gentle and unpretentious. Interiors were a collaboration between the owner and Nightwood. I found these lovely photos on their website and had to share.

“Come camping this weekend,” she said. “We put up a couple tents in the bottom paddock at the start of summer. Everyone just drops in. All very casual.” 

“I’d love to. Do you need me to bring anything? I have a sleeping bag.”

“No Jo. We’re pretty much set up. Just bring yourself… and maybe a couple of bottles of Australian red.”

Teri Lyn Fisher‘s photos are always a great pick-me-up (they were back here) and I know I could use a dose of loveliness today after a 4 day long weekend. It’s always hard to go back to the day job after some time off. Not that I ever really have time off….

Speechless. No words. These photos. Amazing. Wait. Let me try. The soft light, the rich colours, the wonderful, casual vibe. It’s an interpretation, an understanding, an appreciation of beauty. British photographer Joanna Henderson. Considered and enchanted, captured through a lens.

Interior designer Sera Hersham-Loftus is the queen of romantic, seductive interiors. We love her work so much we’ve blogged her work several times over the years (here, here, here and here). I was so excited when her goddaughter emailed us with the news that Sera has come out with a book! It’s aptly names Seductive Interiors (CICO Books) and it looks fabulous! From the press release: Seductive Interiors displays homes which Sera has decorated as well as those that have simply ‘seduced’ her – each epitomizing the spirit of Sera – which could be described as ‘a heady mix of romanticism, passion, and playfulness.’  Sera likes to live in a loose, informal style that is reflected in her interiors.  Most of her furnishings come from antique markets or vintage shops. Her look is essentially ‘a concoction of enchanting soft lighting, charming antique and bohemian furnishings, oriental bric-a-brac, and more than a teaspoon of The Blues and Rock-‘n’-Roll.’ Essentially, it’s HOT STUFF. (Love the photography by Gisela Torres). I need a copy. Find it @ Amazon, Indigo and check out this Sunday Times story about it.
