We love conversions here at DTI, but they’re typically lofts or churches. This time – it’s a freaking public washroom! A big thanks to Deb for sending us the link to this formerly derelict underground public lavatory located in south-east London. They were built in 1929, and became the home of architect Laura Clark in 2011 and only cost £65,000. Now it’s a pretty cool 1 bedroom flat, with only a bit of tile, a VD sign a couple of mirrors as a reminder of what it once was. Via The Telegraph.

The latest issue of Est is live today and what a treat awaits. Creative Director Lynda Evans emailed with a sneak peek. “From a boutique owner’s home on Sydney’s north shore with a well honed sophisticated style and a steadfast passion for a muted palette, to a young family’s country retreat in the hills of Victoria’s spa country filled with vintage finds and eclectic pieces and an artists residence swathed in textural artworks and surrounded by the fields of Holland.” There is even a  chance to win Hamman Towels from Bedouin Societe! My favourite e-magazine just keeps getting better.

How fabulous to have this little vignette right by your front door, telling people you don’t take life too seriously. I got a chuckle out of it. 🙂 C/O Simon Bajada. HAPPY FRIDAY!

There is no better way to end of the work week than with some eye candy by a mega-talented photographer. Today I’ve got an Australian now living in Stockholm, Simon Bajada. His photos are breathtaking and make me want to redecorate. Well, everything makes me want to redecorate. 😉

This post isn’t so much about the interior design (because there isn’t really any, besides some lovely chair porn happening in the main living space) but rather the architecture. And CUT architectures got it so very right. It’s a 6th floor Parisian apartment that was renovated into a bright, modern space while maintaining the extraordinary details of the original space but get this…the random hexagonal tile section in the living room was formerly where the bathroom was. How cool that they kept that section of flooring there.
