Imagine meeting a modelling legend, a woman who defined a style, an era. Imagine shooting her in her amazing home. Imagine having the talent to capture that larger than life personality in that larger than life home. Don’t imagine. This is what it looks like. Jonas Gustavsson takes us inside modelling superstar Peggy Moffitt’s Los Angeles digs. Just a sneak peek. You’ll have to wait until his photos hit the pages of the design magazines to see it all. Thanks Jonas!

Happy Thanksgiving fellow Canadians! Hope you’re all stuffed with turkey and all the fixins (or going to be tonight). I sure am. I’m thinking we should have Thanksgiving monthly. 🙂 Anyhoo, I have tons of blogging and fall chores to do today as temperatures have dropped by about 30 degrees from last week (AAAGGGHHH!!!) and I’m sitting here in my really badly insulated home office with frozen hands trying to type. That’s on my chore list – getting my smaller desk out of the basement and setting up shop in the living room where I won’t freeze my ass off. So I leave you with some beautiful photography from Brazilia-born photographer Beatriz Da Costa who now works in NY and Paris. Enjoy your day! (P.S. The large artwork in the photo below is amazing!)

A cottage remodel in Mill Valley, California. Casually elegant with open plan living, a kitchen to die for and an entrance that welcomes and impresses. Colour brings the spaces to life. A wonderful transformation of a humble house into a welcoming family home. Residential Design by Heydt Designs, Interior Design by Benjamin Dhong and Matthew MacCaul Turner. Photography by David Duncan Livingston.

Contemporary Australian interior design at its best. A lofty statement but true. Part playful, part disciplined approach to spatial design. Pushing boundaries, appreciating the little details. Passion, creativity, enthusiasm, and freshness. Purity of design, an understanding of how people need a space to work, a love of materials and colour. Mardi Doherty and Fiona Lynch. Doherty Lynch. Bright, new Australian design. Inspiring.
