My house still wants to be this house

Posted on Thu, 30 May 2013 by midcenturyjo

Hooray! I found more photos of the house my house wants to be when it grows up (see here). Design by Strangetrader (Andrea Duff and Robert Schwamberg you are amazing!), photos by Prue Ruscoe for Vogue Living. I have the issue. It’s dog eared and has saliva from my drooling.

Quirky British

Posted on Tue, 28 May 2013 by midcenturyjo

It may have plain white walls and simple dark floors but that is all that is plain and simple about this London home. When Brits do quirky then it is all personality plus. Not sure if I could live here but I’d be always popping round for a visit. Fine pieces and found pieces and swathes and swatches. Fab house via fab locations site Shootfactory.

Good, better, Bestor

Colour is great! And what is better than colour? More colour. Don’t get me wrong. I love a taste of Scandi boho white mixed with timber floors and midcentury goodies so imagine great big swathes of saturated colour like a palette knife across a canvas or a cake. Yes! Colour is the icing on this cake! Fabulous family home by Bestor Architecture.

Somerset Place

Posted on Fri, 17 May 2013 by KiM

Dahlings, check out this wonderful structure in Bath (in the county of Somerset in South West England) that was designed in 1790. Somerset Place spectacular example of Georgian architecture (designed by John Eveleigh) is about to be restores into a series of luxury residences (ranging from 3,100 to 5,700 sq ft). The grandeur of those windows is to die for, and I’d absolutely want to keep as much of the original finishes intact as possible – LOVE the walls with all that history showing through. I wouldn’t even paint! This is my dream home. (More info on the local estate agent’s page if you want to snap one up for yourself!)

Justin Coit is a Los Angeles based photographer whose portfolio is a dream. Besides having snapped the mug of many celebrities, his interior photos are fantastic. I’m a fan of high contrast, saturation and brightness, and these elements add alot of energy to these spaces. Gorg!
