Hello Toby Scott. Love your work. Your photographs are real, clean, unpretentious but so marvelous and full of wonderful light. I guess the light thing is a given because you’re a Brisbane boy. Sunny Queensland so they say. I can’t remember where I first saw your work – Real Living or Est Magazine or James Russell‘s portfolio. I remember the Ipswich house in Real Living, the houses you’ve shot with Kylie Jackes. Loved them all. Genius. They tell a story and it’s a tale of how and who and why we live in this part of the world.

I need a little pick me up to get me through this Monday (it’s going to be a loooong week). Some eye candy ought to help, care of French photographer Alexis Toureau who has photographed some really special homes.

What makes the work of stylist and photographer Mirella Sahetapy so striking? It’s simple. It’s the power of simplicity. Limited, muted colour pallette, clean lines, nothing extanreous, the faded strength of the contast between shadow and soft light. Like a faded Dutch Old Master. Beautiful home – Mirella’s home as it appeared in Elle Decoration, NL. Beautiful portfolio.

I thought I’d share a little peek into the portofolio of Swedish decorator and stylist Ewa Björnsdotter. I’m always a fan of black furniture – and this post makes me want to grab a can of black paint and paint something. As a matter of fact, I’ve convinced myself to paint this chair black. It resides in my bedroom and since I brought home some black and white items from Ikea the other day for that space the chair totally needs to go black now. 

Loving these photos and spaces, captured by Italian photographer Angelita Bonetti who now calls Australia home. Not sure why but they make me crave Spring something fierce. (It’s slowly coming to Ottawa….sloooooooowly).
