… Mickey has stolen the best spot on the sofa

WINKS – weekend links. Here we list what has come in during the week, things we’ve found and things we think you’ll want to see. If you’d like to see your blog or website featured email us and if we think it fits with our readers we’ll link you. So what’s in this week?

• Some call him Michael McDowell. Some call him mudpuppy. I call him brilliant. Love everything he creates. Etsy shop here. Supermarket here. Blog here.

• Found on mudpuppy’s blog these wonderful tactile treasures by Esty seller hinomaru.Capture the stars in your hands. Also wonderful sheep, reindeer and more.

• “Phloem Studio, located in Portland, Oregon, designs and builds custom furniture and cabinets for residential and commercial spaces. We believe good design should be elegant and timeless – and we love to work with people who value quality craftsmanship that will last far into the future.” It’s true. I couldn’t have put it better. I just want to run my hands all over these pieces.

• Loving these wall prints by Raven & Lamb. Maybe over the desk above. Kata and Maz also create the most beautiful stationery.

• Malvini create contemporary furniture from massive pieces of wood. It’s timeless and rich. Left in its natural state it shows its history as it ages. Pure handcrafted gorgeousness. Available here and beautiful blog here.

New Yorker Peter Margonelli can manipulate natural light in amazing ways. The resulting photographs are impactful and full of life. I was smitten with the photo above – nothing like pets on furniture to reel you in!

I stumbled upon the website of architecture firm Billinkoff based out of Manhattan that provides architecture, planning and interior design services. Their modern designs are streamlined and chic and sleek, without being cold and impersonal. Their not-so modern designs excel in their own right and are the coolest cottage-y spaces I’ve seen in a while. I’m in love with it all. And I’m taking notes.

A good photographer makes my day. A damn fine one just makes it better. Welcome to the portfolio of Bruce Hemming. Don’t you just love that first picture. It’s so much fun! I think it’s Bruce’s use of natural light that appeals the most and the fact that these are real spaces, homes you could imagine yourself living in. What I can’t show you here is his panoramas. through his lens rooms, houses, resorts come to life. Move around. Take it all in. He’s a wizard. Check out this one!

Hello continuing photographer crush! Julian Wass takes a mean photo. Absolutely yummy. Love the colour (OMG the blues and oranges), the light, the interesting angles and compositions. His work is fresh and bright and I can’t get enough which is why I’m showcasing more of his portfolio. Some of it may be a little familiar as Aaron Hom (from this post) is the stylist. I think I described stylists then as the partners in crime to photographers. So here’s the main culprit… Julian!
