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.

This dark and moody apartment is in Rio de Janeiro may well be the nest of that spiny creature deep within the earth but no, instead it is the creation of Brazilian architectural firm Ouriço (Portuguese for hedgehog). Outside it may be bright and sunny and tropical but inside it is calm and cocooning with graphic punches and vintage finds. Love the hero wall of books, the industrial lights and the warmth of the wood. Like a den, a club, a nest.

The library rules. No not “ssshhh no talking”. I mean this amazing library rules! The house too. The book lined shelves provide transition between the old house and the new extension, screening the open plan living areas from the hallway and front door. Black, white and wood, my favourite combo, are accentuated by the polished concrete floor and occasional burst of colour. By Melbourne based design atelier Techné.
