I close my eyes and sweet dreams will come. Dreams of a home just right. Natural materials, a treasure trove of textures. Nothing too precious but everything beautiful. Tactile and heart touching. Memories and possibilities. Work and play. A place to create and a place to rest. Kim has already featured the work of April Tidey but I had to go back to the Gas Town loft she designed. For the dreams. (Photography: Heather Ross)

Dublin based interior designer Gail Morris of Wall Morris Design emailed us with a few photos of the installation of a recently completed ‘new-build’ residential project in Co. Kerry, Ireland for a client who lives in New York. The design focus was on fine interior joinery, tailored and detailed for the family’s needs. I know many of you will be swooning over the custom kitchen but I love the bedrooms tucked up under the roof. A new house just beginning its life with its new family. I can’t wait to see it age beautifully as it gathers the layers of family life.

We’ve featured Jake Curtis‘ photography before but I stumbled across his site again today and was struck by just how pretty these shots are. Lovely faded, slightly shabby, other worldly and dusty girly. Perfect for a drag your feet sort of Monday.

Simplicity is deceptive. What appears to be sleek and clean lined and refined is highly thought out and designed. Spanish-German architectural design firm YLAB arquitectos (Tobias Laarmann and Yolanda Yuste) have taken a 130m2 apartment in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and created a space of warmth and elegance, public and private, luxury and practicality. It is as if light and shade, white and earthy, cool and warm, natural surfaces, layers of texture, stone and wood, history and the present have all been distilled into a beautiful home. Deceptively simple. Simply wonderful. Images by Jordi Canosa and Daniela Cavestany.

Before a weekend of holiday parties, almost last minute shopping, and other seasonal chaos (or in my case studying), I thought I’d provide you with a little visual respite via some gorgeous photography by Swedish (but now based in NY) photographer Paul Brissman.
