To sleep perchance to dream

I feel the need to curl up in this bed and take an afternoon nap. Styling by Stella Nicolaisen.

A quickie

To end off the work week, I thought I’d share this London bachelor pad designed by Tricia Douglas. Love the neutral palette and masculine vibe.
Gotta jet – have a house to design (and  a sh*tload of snow to shovel)!

Mountain Retreat

Posted on Wed, 30 Nov 2011 by midcenturyjo

Like a cave, rock on rock with primordial forest and majestic mountains. Luxuriously monastic and elegant in its simplicity. Serene yet strong. Raw and masculine. Scree, rock and gravel. Warmth, shelter and style. High country with Lake Wakatipu as view. The Mountain Retreat, Central Otago, Queenstown by New Zealand architectural firm Fearon Hay. Edgy and awe-inspiring.

Away from the sun

Love these shots by Melbourne based photographer Sharyn Cairns. Love the light. Love the rich, dark colours. Love the intimacy she has captured. Love the unpainted wooden walls left to darken with time. The hint of decay or more so age. The lived in look of a country priest’s office but no priest lives here. The country bolt hole of city slickers. Someone boho. Two different homes but the same need for dim light, the cool away from the hot country sun.

Dark and moody punctuated by saturated colour. A statement apartment by Katon Redgen Mathieson.
