Scandinavian spaces are perfect for a Friday. Super comfortable and casual and bright with the familiar touches like plants in every corner, white walls, wrinkled sheets, lots of side tables and black accents. The kind of spaces you want to crash in after a long work week. These spaces by interior designer/stylist Emma Hos are definitively worthy. (Find a previous feature of her work here).

A couple of months ago Jo featured a project by Brazilian architect Felipe Hess that was fresh and colourful with some fun graphic patterns. I came across this project of Felipe’s that is quite the opposite. Not what we typically see from a Brazilian – this one is very subdued, modern and minimalist. I love it for those reasons. And because someone clearly has great taste in chairs (Hans Wegner’s Hoop and Peacock).

Emily C. Butler turns spaces into cozy, pretty hangouts you never want to leave. Like this ‘classic six‘ (new term to me) prewar apartment that’s all kinds of cute. And her bio cracked me up. Beginning my professional career in finance in Texas, I am grateful I have an excellent business foundation. However, more troubled by the folding of shelter design magazine Domino in 2009 than the greater economic crisis at hand, I knew it was time for a career transformation. 🙂

I love the casual, eclectic vibe of this home in Barcelona designed by Cirera+Espinet. And those ceilings! I die for those Spanish arched brick ceilings. (Is it called bóveda?)
I leave you with this and wish you all a wonderful weekend! I’m on the hunt for a new wallpaper installer as mine has quit midway through papering my foyer (grrrrr) and I have some doors upstairs to paint (can’t wait to be rid of all this mahogany varnish). Fun stuff.

April has flown by so fast. It seems like only yesterday that the last email from Matilda Duffecy, Social and Senior Editor at Inside Out popped into my inbox. The rapid passage of time is not something I enjoy (OMG am I really 54 years old!) but I’m always hungry for all the goodies inside the pages of my favourite magazine. Here’s what’s in this month’s issue.

May madness has begun! Almost at the halfway point of 2016! This month, we have a brilliant issue packed with renovation inspiration, expert advice and wishlist buys. In fact, this issue is a bathroom special, featuring 5 fresh makeovers. They really are beautiful spaces. Our cover home is a true labour of love. The family who lives here have been working on the home for over nine years! It’s the perfect representation of how you can weave your own stories throughout a renovation. And that plunge pool looks like a lot of fun! The home was styled by Jane Frosh and photographed by Derek Swalwell.

The kid’s room this month packs serious WHAM! and POW! It’s made for a young hero who deserves a headquarters worthy of Batman. It was styled by Vanessa Colyer Tayand photographed by Sam McAdam-Cooper .

Via our best buys features, we’ve pulled together all the olfactory paraphernalia with pieces that offer the perfect scents. Marble and brass and glass, delightful! Our other best buys feature takes a look at the dark side and the light side…in equal parts. The collection of graphic towels are very striking. Both features were styled by Joseph Gardner and photographed by Sam McAdam-Cooper.

In keeping with the movie theme, our food feature offers up recipes perfect for optimal binge watching. These tasty recipes are just the thing for a quiet night curled up on the couch starring three types of popcorn, ice-cream sandwiches and more! Food styling by Kristen Wilson, photography by Sam McAdam-Cooper, merchandising by Alicia Sciberras, production by Mia Daminato.

The May issue hits stands today but don’t fret if you aren’t in Australia. You can read along on  Zinio, Google Play, the Apple Newsstand and Nook.
