Reader’s home – a California dream

Posted on Thu, 26 May 2011 by KiM

Peggy Dupuis (of Dupuis Design) wrote us about her recently decorated California home and I had to share it wih you all because she lives in quite the pad! The home is pretty spectacular, with breathtaking views, floor-to-ceiling windows, moveable walls to open the living room to the backyard which features a pool. YEAH, the parties that could be had at Peggy’s house. 🙂 Thanks Peggy!

  

Quickie 2

Ever had the daydream of living in a showroom? I do and if I could I’d be moving into hunter gatherer and designer Jason Mowen’s. His Redfern shop-front looks just as cool in person. Sorry Jason I was the one who left the drool on your window a month or so ago.

Annette English

Posted on Wed, 25 May 2011 by KiM

Perhaps you’ve heard of interior designer Annette English. She is an Australian currently based in Los Angeles designing homes for some Hollywood folks (ok, and some ordinary folk too) – and has even designed a 34,000 sq. ft. French château (!!!). When she emailed us saying she’s an avid reader of the blog and thought we might like to blog some of her work she had to twist my arm to agree…not really. 🙂 Many of her projects are fairly traditional but she has designed some more contemporary spaces that I am a big fan of.  And I am a REALLY big fan of that huge moose photograph (after the jump).

Another sweet London pad

Posted on Tue, 24 May 2011 by KiM

The folks at Domus Nova (the London estate agency I blogged about here) kindly send over some photos of another of their properties. This time it’s an incredible home in terms of it’s architecture, with several glass walls and roofs. The central feature of the 4 bedroom property is a massive 2 story atrium with a glass bridge. I have to say the decor is not really something to write home about. I appreciate the global vibe but the main furnishings are pretty bland and really could be much funkier to blend with the cool, modern architectural details. That’s ok though – the glass walls and roof sections are doing it for me.
