Ashli Mizell encore

Posted on Wed, 8 Feb 2012 by midcenturyjo

New work from  Philadelphia based interior designer Ashli Mizell. I love the rustic look of the tiles against the marble and cabinets. It’s rough vs smooth, modern trad with a twist of ethnic. A clash of tiles reminiscent of the pattern riots of the riad plays with the calm of the white while smoky hues play with earthy oranges. A hint of Morocco. It’s the layering that comes through in Ashli’s designs. Pattern on pattern, texture on texture. Rustic on the modern. (Original post on Ashli Mizell here.)

Reader’s small kitchen remodel

Posted on Fri, 23 Dec 2011 by midcenturyjo

Linn emailed us a little while ago with her cool kitchen remodel.

“I really just wanted to share some before and after pictures of my tiny kitchen which my husband and I spent a few weeks remodeling. Our small bungalow is from 1946 and it has a rather tiny kitchen which we wanted to preserve the integrity of, yet update and give a new fresh feel. We installed a black and white (marble and granite) checkerboard floor, refinished the old wooden cabinets and drawers, installed a stainless steel counter and tiled the walls with subway tile all the way to the ceiling. We did all of this ourselves on a budget of little over $6000 (including buying new appliances).”

Befores then afters… obviously 🙂 Great job Linn and Linn’s other half! Check out all the details on her blog The Home Project.


Duck eggs and clotted cream

I have a thing about colour at the moment. I have a thing about kitchen dressers it seems too. I also have a thing for photographer Graham Atkins-Hughes. If anyone can capture moody colour then it’s Graham. The man’s a genius with the dark and dirty or the shady and smudgy.
