We received this email from Bella last week: It’s our fifth birthday at FutureDeluxe and to celebrate we’re launching a series of new projects and we wanted to give you an early heads up. We’ve got a new brand identity, a bespoke launch film (the first of five!), a new website, and a brand new London studio. We thought you might be particularly interested in our new studio. It’s a brand new space on Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch, designed in partnership with 44th hill and features bespoke artwork by light artist Andy Doig. Oh YES!!! This has all of my favourite elements in it – funky lighting, reclaimed wood, fun neon signs, and a wee bit of religious kitsch. Sweet office for these creative folks!

Lindsay Coral Harper is an interior designer based in New York City. Fresh, young and modern with a twist on the traditional, Lindsey’s designs radiate bold pattern, texture and color. I really REALLY love this first kitchen. The graphic pattern on the floor is fantastic! Grey, black, white with bits of yellow is a beautiful colour palette. 

P.S. Lindsay’s About page cracked me up – ‘Lindsey currently has clients all over the country and some as far away as London and Montreal‘. It’s a 6-7 hour drive from NYC-Montreal. 🙂

It has been a little while since Jo featured Melbourne architects Nixon Tulloch Fortey so I thought I would do a little update on their stellar designs. They are all about minimal architecture on the inside and maximum impact on the outside. This first kitchen, despite me not usually liking all white kitchens, has me totally drooling. It is just so clean and sleek! I love this firm. 

If you would like to send me photos to include in next week’s pets on furniture post, please ensure your photos follow these basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off…and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, if the photo is too dark or unfocused it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to kim[at]desiretoinspire[dot]net. Thanks!

Here is a quick picture of our little Dahlia, a Great Pyrenees sort of dog. She is not allowed on the furniture and, as you can tell, she doesn’t always listen. However, when she is posing like this it is hard to make her come down.

I just brought this new India inspired paisley throw home for the couch. My black kitty, Quinoa, took to it immediately and spent the day curled up on it. He usually doesn’t spend a lot of time on the couch with us so this inspired us to take a photo for Pets on Furniture!

Attached are two photos of our English setter puppy, GIRO (as Giro d’Italia). He has been granted a black, leather IKEA poang chair with the footstool to extend on.

This is my Visla dog, her name is Mana, and she loves to have her “sunbathe” on the “Loop chair” (1954) designed by Willy Guhl.

This is our 9yr old pug, Romeo. He is usually curled up in our diamond chair sound asleep, but today we discovered him quite awkwardly perched on the edge.

I have recently been helping my friend Gary and his two cats, Buzz and Mama, decorate their new Chicago apartment, and snapped this picture as the kitties were enjoying the newly organized bedroom. If nothing else, I think this picture sums up well what it’s like to live in close proximity to a sibling…

This is Sam the Goldendoodle. He likes the Noguchi coffee table because he can literally keep an eye on us from any spot he lays down on. In the office, his floor companions are a ten speed bicycle and an Aeron chair, neither of which he fancies.

I’m crushing on herringbone pattern tiling. Seeing it, wanting it, figuring out where I can put it in my house. By Bureaux.
