TGIF!

Posted on Fri, 9 Jul 2010 by KiM

My fiancé and I spent the evening at my parent’s place getting the trailer put into place in the back corner of their acre property. (For trailer details check out her blog posts here). It looks TOTALLY adorable and is coming along quite nicely, especially after a coat of paint from my twin sister, and now that it’s off the driveway. My mom wants to have a little deck/stairs built out front of it and do some planting around it. I am hoping we can at least spruce the outside up a bit in the next 2 weeks before the wedding so we can get some photos in front of it. 🙂 That all being said (perhaps I’m rambling because we’re in day 4 or 5 of a ridiculous heat wave here and I’m lacking sleep) I didn’t have much time for blog stuff so I figured I’d just slap up some more photos from the lovely www.micasarevista.com. The first bunch are of a cool renovated apartment that is just the right amount of funky (hello brown leather chesterfield!) and vintage and comfy furnishings. The last 2 are of a gorgeous dining space (I love benches for seating at a dining table).

Freunde von Freunden

A big thanks to reader Lilian for sending us the link to a German website which is going to be a new favourite regular stop of mine. It’s called Freunde von Freunden and it’s a spitting image of Todd Selby’s The Selby, featuring glances into the homes and workspaces of creative people. I devoured the site and selected a bunch of photos that really intrigued me.

It’s all about the light. I know we say it over and over but these pictures from the portfolio of photographer Hector Sanchez prove it. These are wonderful rooms that don’t need the glare of the spotlight to shine. I think the blue undertones that Hector captures in his shots are beautiful. Cool and elegant. Speaking of cool and elegant how about that lounging nook in the bathroom! Indulgent.

Just one more

I couldn’t resist. I needed more garden inspiration from Rick Eckersley and his team. A contemporary Aussie garden? Why not this one as a perfect example. See more of Rick’s work in the post below.
