Recently I blogged some work by NY based architecture and design firm Incorporated (here, here and here) and because I am now a huge fan, I thought I’d feature another of their projects. This one is a fantastic light-filled apartment whose owners clearly enjoy quirky furnishings. I’m really now sure about that Franz West dining set but I have loved that WrongWoods credenza since it first came on the design scene. 

Jen Chu is from San Francisco currently residing in Brooklyn, and is an Art Director for Project Runway and has even worked on a couple J-Lo videos. I spotted her in the latest issue of Design Bureau mag and checked out her portfolio. I love her interiors as they are, believe it or not, for NORMAL people who do not have unlimited budgets. Her own apartment is super small and she has done an amazing job with it (the first 5 photos below are of her itty bitty bedroom and bathroom). It’s great to see how this half lives too. 🙂

Darren Palmer is an Australian interior designer whose portfolio has completely captured my attention and I am now a BIG fan of his work. His style is contemporary/modern and often evoke a dark and dramatic mood. The result is sophisticated with a masculine vibe, and so freaking sexy. Seriously hot stuff. 

I couldn’t help it. I was drawn back to photographer James Braund‘s portfolio. Just as full of life and light as last visit (here) with new photos of great homes and inspiring spaces and places. Images tell a story, a picture can be worth a thousand words, pure poetry perhaps? OK I’ll quit with the cliches and just leave you with the great shots. After all the pictures are what it is all about.

There is nothing like holding your favourite magazine in your hands. Nothing like spotting it on the shelves when it first goes on sale. The little leap of joy when you see a new cover staring back at you. You’ve waited weeks. It seems like months. You’re a junkie and you need your fix. Well that is what it is like for me at least. My drug of choice? Inside Out magazine. I cannot get enough. Inspiring, practical and brimming with stunning homes, the latest trends and clever ideas for your home and garden.

Thanks to Lee Tran Lam, managing editor of Inside Out we get a sneaky peek at the September/October 2012 issue, on sale tomorrow. The cover story no less. The home owners are Lucy Fenton and Josh Markey, who run Fenton and Fenton. The story is by Anna McCooe, the photographs by Felix Forrest and the styling by Jason Grant. The whole thing is… in a word… Yum! I’m itching to devour the rest of it tomorrow. Tomorrow! I have to wait until tomorrow! Not fair!

Before our non-Aussie readers bemoan the fact that they can’t get Inside Out where they live the good news is that you can subscribe through Zinio. Not quite the same as leafing through those pages but definitely the next best thing.
