Hilary Robertson’s home

Posted on Tue, 1 Apr 2014 by KiM

You may remember Hilary Robertson‘s Brooklyn brownstone from the cover of a Living Etc. magazine a while back. I swear this home will be forever etched in my memory as one of my favourites of all time. To my shock I realized we had never featured it in its entirety here. I just had to. It is so damn gorgeous, and almost everything in it is a thrift/flea market/antique market find. So dreamy. So inspirational. (Photos via Hilary’s website and Trevor Tondro for the NY Times)

Summer gelati

Posted on Mon, 31 Mar 2014 by midcenturyjo

A room that is a promise of summer to come. With zest and zing and joyful squeals of colour. Like scoops of fruit gelati on a hot day this wonderful bedroom, or should that be boudoir, is just the antidote to long, lingering winters. By interior designer Robert Passal.

Is that a Space Invaders house?

Posted on Fri, 14 Mar 2014 by midcenturyjo

How cool! I already love the modern open plan, the concrete and the white brick, the bright yellow and hot pink accents as well as the pool but what I really, really love are the Space Invader motifs in the brickwork. Crass? No way! Life is too short not to have a sense of humour. Florence House by Perth, West Australia based Klopper & Davis Architects.

The new traditionalist

Posted on Thu, 27 Feb 2014 by midcenturyjo

English antiques and a stiff upper lip tempered and teased by mid-century classics, fab fabrication and colour, great licks of colour. Play spot the Scandinavian icons, Wegner, Saarinen, Iittala, Josef Frank. The new traditionalist that is Ben Pentreath.

A mid-century stunner

Posted on Wed, 26 Feb 2014 by KiM

This home is a lesson in picking the perfect wall colours. With a distinctive mid-century feel, San Francisco’s Senalee Kapelevich of SVK Interior Design hit the nail on the head in each room. It is the perfect starting point for the homeowners to then add some personal touches. Loving that pink!
