Tim Street-Porter

Posted on Mon, 30 Jul 2012 by KiM

Loas Angeles photographer Tim Street-Porter is a freaking genius with a camera. His photos are stunning – perfect composition and lighting. He makes each space come to life and has you take a second look. Lucky guy…he has shot some pretty spectacular homes.

The latest est is live

Posted on Mon, 30 Jul 2012 by midcenturyjo

So excited! The latest edition of my favourite e-magazine est is live today. Love love love est. The look, the aesthetic, the vibe, the photography and styling, the homes. Whatever you put it down to it is one of my must reads. The editorial crew sent us images from the latest issue. Just enough of a tease. Head on over and devour. While you are there you should subscribe. It’s free and subscriptions bring exclusive content. Yay! And there’s a giveaway! Issue #6 on the virtual news stand now.

Photographers Toby Scott, Gorty Yuuki, Marjon Hoogervorst, Robyn Lea and Marnie Haddad.

A trip…and a cottage

Posted on Sun, 29 Jul 2012 by KiM

When this post publishes, I will be on a plane to Las Vegas. An odd destination this time of year considering it’s obscenely hot in Nevada, but I was given the opportunity to spend a few days there thanks to Traditional Home magazine. I’ll be  taking part in some festivities at the Las Vegas Market show (#LVMkt) with a handful of other bloggers – including a “treasure hunt” (which you can likely follow via our Facebook page #LVMTHTH). FUN!!! Anyhoo, I’ll have a few posts set up in my absence, and in the meantime here is a cottage in the UK that’s mostly shabby chic, kinda Scandinavian, and just a whole lotta cuteness!

Ann Wolf

Posted on Fri, 27 Jul 2012 by KiM

Ann Wolf is an interior designer based in Texas who is certainly not one dimensional. She has designed a Shaker-inspired farmhouse in Colorado, an Adirondack-style summer house in upstate New York, a mid-century modern in Houston, and a “Hollywood-Glam” pied-a-terre in Manhattan. Whatever the style, her spaces are always elegant yet practical, sophisticated yet whimsical yet. I’m not typically drawn to massive doses of pattern and colour, but she really knows how to mix it up and isn’t afraid to be bold with colour combinations. I really admire that.

Charles de Lisle – a quickie

Posted on Wed, 25 Jul 2012 by KiM

Before I pass out, here is one more quickie, courtesy of the portfolio of interior designer Charles de Lisle. It is a few bits from one of his projects, that features a pretty funky light fixture in a dining room and one of the coolest coffee tables I’ve ever seen. (I seem to be crushing on Charles as I’ve blogged his work already here, here and here).
