Apartment for a writer

Posted on Thu, 8 Jan 2015 by midcenturyjo

It’s called an apartment for a writer. Perhaps an apartment for an observer. For someone who reflects on their surrounds. Holds a mirror to the world and records, writes. Or perhaps is vain? Cares about looks and style. No that would be more likely if the mirror lined the desk space. Either way I’m smitten by this clever storage by Auckland based Cheshire Architects.

It was hard deciding what to follow up that last post with, so I settled on a few photos from the portfolio of photographer Lucy Schaeffer that gives you a glimpse into 3 spaces, each with intriguing details…

This photo is perfection. A glimpse is all you need. A bathroom with flat black doors, white subway tiles with dark grout, and gold hardware is IT.

Those high ceilings with such beautiful detail = *GASP*, and the copper pipe hardware is a cool touch. (I am pretending I don’t see the ceiling fan…)

Can’t decide on art to buy? Have some fun with a roll of tape in the meantime.

Reader’s home – Benedicte’s bright home in Norway

Posted on Tue, 6 Jan 2015 by KiM

Benedicte, a photographer from Norway, had sent photos of her dogs for my Monday’s pets on furniture feature a couple of years ago (seen here) and I was smitten with the glimpse it gave into her home. She was going to send me photos of it but ended up having to move quickly. She is now in a new home and appears to have spent alot of time and effort into decorating it (interior design is another passion of hers, and it shows). The result is a beautiful, bright and graphic home with lots of charm and adorable vignettes everywhere. This needs to be in a magazine!
