I thought I’d share some really special photos by Auckland photographer Simon Wilson.


Mixing the old with the new

Posted on Tue, 4 Feb 2014 by KiM

Nook Architects have gone and done it again. They have renovated what was essentially a hole, and transformed it into a seriously cool apartment. The best part is they left all the beautiful original floor tiles intact, as well as some bits of old wallpaper. The effect is an eclectic juxtaposition between old and new. 

Zoom

Zoom – an architecture firm based in Brazil that brings together creativity, function, and whimsy. And some splashes of colour and you have some funky and liveable spaces that can be easily enjoyed. One homewoner must have expressed their love of circles. 🙂

Monday’s pets on furniture

Posted on Mon, 3 Feb 2014 by KiM

If you’d like to send me photos to include in next week’s “pets on furniture” post, please ensure your photos follow my 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 then it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim[at]hotmail[dot]com and PLEASE don’t send closeups of your pet! Thanks!

This is Joffrey, a former stray, who is acclimating very nicely to the life indoors! He loves this banquette almost as much as we love him!

This is Ozzie he is always looking for a cozy spot for a nap. The scarf drawer seemed like as good a spot as any…
