Three and a half years. Yes three and a half years since I visited Australian photographer Maree Homer‘s website. (The original post is here.) A lot has certainly happened since the least of which is an overflowing portfolio and her work constantly in Australian shelter magazines. The work has matured. Light is still paramount but now the rooms are havens from the harsh bright light outside. Slashes of light don’t cut across spaces. Homes are more appealing because, as most Aussie’s will know, being in the cool cocoon of the inside as opposed to the harsh, hot outside is a cultural dreaming. Still an ode to modern Australian life her work captures the spirit of the rooms, the carefree life we love to lead and the slight larrikin attitude that Aussie’s have.

The editors of Australian digital magazine Est sent us a sneak peek at their latest edition. In Issue #4 the magazine looks to the Nordic countries for inspiration in a special Scandinavian edition of Est. Go inside the home of Icelandic Interior Designer Rut Kara and Danish homewares maven Tine K. Get to know modern day model turned street style snapper Candice Lake and see inside the home of the original street style photographer Amy Arbus in New York City. Est Issue #4 launches 31 January and I for one can’t wait.

I had plans for a post today but due to some totally inconvenient technical difficulties I had to come up with something else. A little while ago we received an email and I thought I’d share it with you today as Plan B. It comes from Alge: I would like to present you our e-magazine “Llamas’ valley“. Our motto is: perfect places/imperfect people. We write about interior design, decor, art, fashion, food. We started with six Lithuanian issues of the magazine, and we have published the first English edition just before Christmas. Our team consists of 3 members: that would be me, I’m the editor, my husband Eligijus is a designer, and our friend Augis makes the beautiful images. LOVE it. And love that motto. Here are some photos to get you hooked.

It’s been a pretty busy week so far, and it’s going to be an interesting weekend – looks like a trip to Hamilton (or at least a meeting halfway) is happening to bring my stray cat to her new home. Wanda, an absolute angel, has offered to provide this poor cat the home and the love she deserves and I can’t wait for the 2 of them to start a new part of their lives together (dammit I’m tearing up). On the subject of hearts and homes, here are some lovely photos from UK online magazine Heart Home (see more in this post).

Loving the portfolio of Vancouver- based, award-winning architecture firm Burgers Architecture Inc. Their attention to detail and the way they maximize the views beyond the structures is fabulous.
