Design*Sponge at Home

Posted on Wed, 7 Sep 2011 by midcenturyjo

If there is one book I’ve been dying to get my hands on it’s Grace Bonney’s Design*Sponge at Home. Well the wait is over! It’s finally here. This step-by-step guide will help you hone the skills to create your dream home. This is no “let”s admire the pretty pictures” book (although from these sneak peeks Grace has sent Desire to Inspire there is certainly lots of luscious room porn on offer. Just the way we like it).

Sneak peeks to DIY projects and basics, flower workshop to before & afters. It’s all here and I’m so excited. You can find it on Booktopia (AUS),  Amazon.ca and Chapters/Indigo (Canada), Amazon.com (US), Amazon.co.uk (UK) or pop over to Design*Sponge. Congratulations to Grace and her team!

The best of both worlds

Posted on Tue, 6 Sep 2011 by KiM

One minute I love modern…and the next minute I love rustic. Every now and then I come across a home that has both, but this home is pretty much the extreme of what is modern and rustic. It is located in Jaffa, Tel Aviv and from what Google translator told me, it is at least a century old and has been restored and modernized. I am taken with the juxtaposition of the stone arches with the polished concrete floors and sleek cabinetry and furnishings. (via Mimdap)

Lake house

Posted on Fri, 2 Sep 2011 by KiM

The latest issue of Pure Green Magazine, is now available online (and FYI, it’s launching in print in November!!) and the folks at the mag kindly sent over a whole bunch of photos of the gorgeous Muskoka lake house that is featured this month. It’s the former summer home and now permanent residence of retired couple Donna and John Taylor that was built in the 1900’s. Filled with finds from antique markets, it’s got a wonderful casual and nautical vibe that is perfect for the surroundings. {All images copyright Pure Green Magazine; photography: Ever Images Photography}
