Take a creative brush to a blank canvas. With painterly strokes apply the colours of life. A landscape to live in, a portrait of the occupants. A graceful vignette, a subtly sublime still life. Beautiful homes by Betsy Brown. Neutral palettes informed by careful colour. Classical and modern, delicate and elegant yet never precious.





















I have always been jealous of interior stylists who have an incredible knack for uniting a bunch of often random objects into some type of cohesive theme that results in the most gorgeous vignettes that become even more magical when captured by a lens. Swedish stylist Tina Hellberg is one of those stylist (as Jo demonstrated a couple of times before here and here).















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.


















I absolutely adore the photography of Petra Bindel. I’d have to put her in my top 5 list. Everything she shoots is mesmerizing, captivating and magical. I have a girl crush on her, I’ll admit. I was shocked to find out it’s been ages since we blogged her work (here and here). First up are some photos of a really special home, that of interior stylist Emma Persson Lagerberg that was featured in Swedish Elle Interior, Danish RUM and ELLE Decoration UK.











And a few extra goodies because I can’t get enough…






Hearth and home. Sense of place and purpose and history. Homes to anchor a well lived life. Tradition and quiet modernism. Genius loci, respect for the past, reach for the future but gently, solidly, purposefully and creatively. Inspiration from Austin, Texas based Tim Cuppett Architects.
