A casually elegant family retreat at Palm Beach, Sydney by Adelaide Bragg & Associates. Hues of blue and green like the ever changing ocean, organic textures and crisp white finishes update this 1950’s home. Beautiful, relaxed and classic.
A new kitchen and a staircase to the next floor. A simple design request with a fabulous outcome. Melbourne based Venn Architects believe space is what you make it. Their clever use of the transition up the staircase as a library is elegant and functional with a wonderful sense of space and light. No longer a kitchen diner. Perhaps a kitchen library?
For years this has been and continues to be my favourite backyard of all time. I am determined to have this setup one day. EXACTLY as in the photo but with different chairs. And cats roaming instead of a dog. (via Dwell)
I can’t get this out of my head either. It is the definition of an outdoor room. Simple yet perfect. (via Kennedy Nolan Architects)
I used to be sold on the idea of having a dining space that doubled as a library, but now I am even more smitten with book storage in hallways. (via The Design Files)
Cutest bathroom design. I need this in my life. (via Incorporated)
Another dream bathroom. The materials make me weak in the knees. I want my whole house to look like this. (via Urbis)
Beds are boring for the most part. This one isn’t. Great DIY project. (via MilK)
Another interesting bed set-up. I would totally use this as a lounge area. Gorg. (via STUDIO OINK)
LOVE this lighting. Would be fab down a long hallway. (via Richard Lindvall)
I am still obsessed with this simple lighting. Imagine several of these over the countertop of a long narrow kitchen. (via Tribe Studio Architects)
I want to make stuff everywhere with conduit. (via Sanna Lindberg)
Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian readers! I am beyond excited to head to my parents later today and eat my face off. 🙂 Speaking of giving thanks, I know I should be thankful that I have a home (among many other things) but WOW – I’d rather live in this funky loft! I have an obsession with vintage storage items – particularly wooden crates, and I have never seen anything like this before. It’s crate madness!!!! They’re EVERYWHERE!!! They’re makeshift walls, a kitchen island base, a bed, night stands, a coffee table, sofas, a bathroom vanity…..

Gracefully balanced and restrained this apartment is part of a 100-year-old building located on one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful 17th century canals. Light filled and layered. An historic shell and a modern interior, expansive and cosy. The best of both worlds. Past and present. Beauty and function. Canal House HG by Powerhouse Company.
