The Weaver’s House

Posted on Thu, 8 Feb 2018 by midcenturyjo

“The idea of home is a primal and a personal construct. Our mission is to create homes that support us practically, engage us sensorially and nourish us emotionally. Each home is a rational, passionate project—a labour of love.”

A couple of days ago Kim feature the time capsule Dennis Severs’ house. Today I’m once again in Spitalfields, once again in a weaver’s house but this time it’s a contemporary yet sympathetic renovation of a Huguenot Townhouse by Chan + Eayrs.

The Study

Can you imagine how what design magic is being conjured up in this fabulous space in Berlin? It’s the workshop, showroom, office and home of Quiet Studios and I’m in love. I wish my creative space was as inspiring.

Simplicity

Posted on Fri, 22 Dec 2017 by midcenturyjo

“There is nothing simple about simplicity. Simplicity is complexity.”

The composition, the texture, the monochromatic palette, the considered choice of pattern, the restraint and careful curation. How deceptively simple and achingly beautiful. Buckhead by Atlanta-based Nancy Braithwaite Interiors.

A wonderful marriage of Scandi and Moroccan, ranch and rock and roll. Think neutrals mixed with white where black is a highlight, simple and tactile and organic and fun. Welcome to bleached beauty that is Woodbrook by Lisa Sherry Interieurs.
