Clear.

Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2015 by KiM

It’s pretty clear. There are cool people in my sleeper government city of Ottawa (I can poke fun because 1 – I have lived here my entire life 2 – I am one of those boring public servants). I recently discovered the cool people of Clear.,  an interior design firm who created modern spaces that are spunky and magazine-worthy. I want all of these bathrooms. Gorg! And while admiring all of the gold bathroom hardware, does anyone know of a sweet gold/brass kitchen faucet I should consider for my kitchen redo? I am having a REALLY hard time finding one.

Stalking in the hinterland

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2015 by midcenturyjo

The best of both worlds. A bushland setting back from the ocean. A tree change with easy access to a sea change. The location is Flinders, a town south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula. I’m still stalking but instead of rolling waves it’s rolling hills. The house is by b.e. architecture and now leaves me with a conundrum. Which property will I buy from the proceeds of the bank heist I will have to pull to be able to afford either of them? Link here while it lasts.

Stalking by the sea

Oh the view! Oh the position metres from the beach! Oh the house! Oh my! I have no words to describe this house by Clinton Murray with gardens by Will Dangar. I’m stalking Newport on the northern beaches of Sydney and I’m planning a bank heist to finance this sea change fantasy. Thanks to Andrea my stalking buddy for the listing. Link here while it lasts.

A modern home in Hintonburg

Posted on Thu, 26 Mar 2015 by KiM

I have driven by this home in Ottawa’s Hintonburg neighbourhood several times and always loved how simple the exterior is. For an infill project amidst a slew of very old brick homes, this seems to blend in more than one would expect. I was also dying to know what the inside looked like, and now I know, because I discovered it was designed by built, and featured on their website. The architecture is simple and modern, with a WOW kitchen and some really cool bathrooms. Love it!! (Photos I think by Justin Van Leeuwen)

FAB

Posted on Tue, 24 Mar 2015 by midcenturyjo

A fresh, modern home in Austin Texas by FAB Architecture. Clean contemporary lines but with a hint of a more traditional home. Siding, gables, paned windows. Inside bright and light spaces accented with black. Stylishly simple and simply stylish.
