Black and white palette tempered with wood. Unlike my previous post these two renovations by Melbourne based Jane Cameron Architects seem warmer, more approachable. Hard surfaces like concrete or marble appear as features not the predominant finish while small pops of colour break the starkness as do pot plants. Serene, elegant almost Scandinavian. Love.








A colour palette of black, white and grey. Slick, hard surfaces. Think concrete and metal warmed sparingly with wood. Too stark? Too cold? Or just right for your minimalist style? My favourites? the bathrooms especially the white one and the box shelving in the living area. Modern interiors by Prague based OOOOX Architects.













Before I begin, I am short again this week on pets on furniture entries so please send photos of your furballs to kim[at]desiretoinspire[dot]net. Thanks!


















This right here is my dream summer home. A sprawling stone mansion in the middle of the countryside. What a magnificent canvas – oh the fun I would have decorating this! It is the home of shoe designer Michel Perry and his family located in Bourgogne, France. Rustic at its absolute finest. (Photographed by Jean-François Jaussaud).
