I knew it was time. I had sweaty palms, a slight headache, a dry mouth. I was hanging out… for my favourite interiors magazine. I knew it was time for the latest edition of Inside Out when an email from Lee Tran Lam, Managing Editor arrived in my inbox. I knew it would be a sneak peek at one of the fabulous homes in the March issue. I just knew it. Here’s what she wrote,

It’s the weekend home of interior designer and stylist Kali Cavanagh – and with a CV like that, it’s unsurprising that it’s a beautiful, well-furnished space. It’s located in Daylesford and has a nice mix of age-worn industrial pieces. She’s also added lots of personal touches – courtesy of her toolbox and DIY-savviness. In the bathroom, there’s a vanity that’s unlike any I’ve ever seen before. “It was a desk,” she says. “I removed the legs, cut down the top and cut a hole for the sink then added one of the desk legs at the front.” She also transformed a set of drawers into another vanity, placing brass French mailbox name plates near the handles. (The stylist is Julia Green and photographer Armelle Habib.)

Aussie readers can pick up their copy of the March Inside Out Thursday. Don’t fret if you aren’t in Australia though because you can read along on  Zinio, Google Play and the Apple Newsstand.

I love what a statement that framed flag makes in the bedroom above. Art is such a fun way to bring a graphic element into a space. If you’re looking for tips from interior designers on how to display art in your home, then check out this article.

I have done a couple of features on Italian photographer Max Zambelli recently (here and here), but since I find his photos so captivating, I thought I would give it another go. Absolutely incredible composition and light that brings these photos to life and have you craving more.

Croma Design is a Toronto based interior design firm headed by Amy Kent and Ryan Martin. Their designs are based on a respect for modern sophistication and a passion for creating timeless, stylish and luxurious spaces. Classy stuff – wait until you see the kitchen coming up.

P.S. Monday’s pets on furniture will resume next week when I’m back from Mexico so please keep sending in your entries (instructions here)!

A quality of light. Thick, soft, viscose. As if you could wave your hand through a beam and feel it. Time stands still. Life has stopped in a photograph. For a second. For eternity. Captured. Caressed. Not trapped. Inspiring in its simplicity and its complexity. Photography by Eric Piasecki.

I have mentioned my crush on Toronto photographer Michael Graydon before (I featured him here and here), and his photos still make my heart skip a beat. Here is some more of his eye candy to get you in the mood.
