New week new inspiration. After featuring Graham Atkin-Hughes location house last week it’s time to dig into his portfolio. Kim and I have both sung his praises before but his website is jammed with juicy interiors, many more than our last visit. Think some of your favourite blog photos and chances are Graham is the snapper behind the lens. Nick Olsen’s red lacquer pad, Rita Konig’s home, Abigail Ahern and The Brooklyn Home Company’s fabulous white dream of a house. Graham is the photographer that brought those rooms to life through his lens. His work is one moment moody and intimate and at others exuberant and in your face. How sexy is the OTT bohemian vintage home with the touches of red? Clutter yes but never boring! One of my favourite photographers!

I’m sill trying to figure out what to do on Sundays. Jo and I were talking and we’re thinking about starting to treat weekends a bit more casually, where we would post if we felt like it and had time, and post whatever we want. I was hoping to post photos of the BEEOOOTIFUL hardwood floors my husband and I installed in our bedroom on Friday, but since we had leftover wood today we decided to do the hallway. We still have to install the baseboards so I’d rather wait and take photos when it’s more of a final product. Soooo, today I thought I’d try a post of photos that peaked my interest in the past week or so from random blogs I visited. Enjoy your Sunday!

… 150 years young

Hi everyone! It’s almost time. I move into my new old house in a matter of weeks and I AM SO EXCITED! I’m also swamped with packing. A lot of you will know that I am the thrift store and eBay queen and can never say no to the perfect bargain. I have a 2 bedroom apartment, a garage and a storage shed groaning with goodies for my new house. Just one problem… I have to pack it all up for the move. So WINKS are on the back burner and instead I’ll be posting reading guides with all the new to me blogs where I have been lurking over the past few months. Don’t worry if you are not here, yet. Until I’m settled in it’s reading guides all the way. Enjoy!!

P.S. Does anyone know a good painter in Ipswich? One that won’t get freaked out by black walls? Contact me 🙂

The lovely Leticia of Vintage + Chic blog kindly emailed me this morning about a post she published this morning of a story in the November issue of Spain’s Glamour magazine. She emailed me because the story is about the magazine’s favourite decor blogs, and both our blogs are included! There are photos of the bloggers (icky photo of me seen on the bottom of the 3rd page), and they covered half of the fourth page with a photo of my kitchen!! WOHOO! Congrats Leticia and the other bloggers mentionned!

I am such a fickle woman, flitting from one photographer crush to another. I have a new love. Swedish snapper Charlie Bennet has gone straight to the top of my love list. Look at this work! At times moody, at times scandi bright but always great shots of great rooms. I want to move in and claim these homes as my own.
