Jessica Antola is an incredibly talented photographer based in Brooklyn. Her portfolio is full of all sorts of goodies, from interiors to portraits (lotsa celebrities!) and captures from her travels. Here are some spaces she has brought to life through her camera lens.

Monday already? Oh no! I can’t face it! I’m running away to the beach at Bondi in Sydney. I’m taking this cute as a button holiday apartment for a week or two. It goes by the name of Blue Belle. If only I could! The perfect base for relaxation and exploration. Neutral interiors with raw woods and rattan with accents of red and blue. Industrial meets beach chic and rustic and loads of lovely light. Interiors and design by Kathy Collins of Urban Splash.

To all my fellow Ottawans out there, if you’re looking for something to do the weekend after Easter, come on out to the Ottawa Antique Show (or as I like to call it the Ottawa Vintage Goodies Show) at Carleton U April 5-7. The show’s organizers have asked me to come out and pick out all of my favourite items at the show (perhaps I had better leave my wallet at home – I could be in trouble) so I’ll be there Friday for that. We can hang out, shop around, discuss what antique/vintage items rock, whatever. They’ve got everything, from furniture to jewelry and designer handbags (YES!). Here’s a link to their website, and their Facebook page for more info. Here is a peek at some past shows. 

YAY! It’s time for a new issue of one of my favourite e-mags, Home & Delicious! Always awesome spaces and spectacular photography from Halla Bára Gestsdóttir & Gunnar Sverrisson of Iceland. Total eye candy on a Friday. You’re welcome. 😉

I found the following London home in the archives of one of my favourite real estate sites, Domus Nova, and immediately fell in love. The owner wanted to preserve the period details while ensuring the home worked for their modern family (with the help of Michaelis Boyd Associates). The weathered stone flooring (heated!) is the perfect rustic touch, the original panelling on the walls, internal window shutters and marble fireplaces were all preserved or carefully restored to create a unique and intiguing interior. This home is going right into my inspiration folder.
