Matthew Hranek gets people. He gets the spaces they live in and the lives they lead. He gets it. Then he captures it through the lens of his camera. Homes are lived in. Homes are the people that live in them. Homes live. Just like these three homes from his portfolio via his rep’s site.

Jordan Carlyle of NYC interior design firm Carlyle Designs emailed us about his work and thought we’d like to share some of his projects with our readers. You’ll see why I didn’t hesitate to say yes in a moment. First, a little bit about Jordan: Characterized by earthly surfaces, singular details and keen colors richly layered across an architectural framework, Jordan’s designs recast classic elements in modern settings. It’s an approach that pays homage to timeless notions of sophistication as surely as it spritzes them with modern zest and sheds the stuffy overtones of elegance to reveal its sexy young skin. Jordan’s understanding of the exceptional and his love for the refined continue to be the core of his design philosophy. I was shocked to discover Jordan is only 29, and not only am I already smitten with his work, it turns out he has collection of beautiful custom furnishings (Carlyle Collective) and produces contemporary artwork (for CB2 for over 4 years!) found here. I am thoroughly impressed. So impressed I need to do two posts. To begin, here are two projects – the first is an industrial loft gone elegant, and the second, a dreamy bathroom.

With all of the interiors I am exposed to because of this blog, many times I find myself really enjoying the simple, neutral spaces that are soothing to the eye. Like these photos of a Parisian apartment via Norwegian magazine Interiør Magasinet. (Photos by Mikkel Russel) 

Back in January I blogged about a new e-magazine from Lithuania called Lamų slėnis (Llamas’ Valley). The photography is spectacular, so I thought I’d do an encore and show you photos from one of their latest issues. (I just noticed they have a new issue out a couple days ago – might need to do another post!)

More dreams. More wishes and wantings. More beautiful images captured by photographer Anna Williams. Images that whisk me away to another place, images that whisper to me. Simple but lovely.

And this one again because I love the way this intimate little corner of a kitchen has been captured.
