Whether tailored and luxurious with sensuous leathers and rich woods and just a touch of refined masculinity or light and casually refined in that summer on the coast way, designer Patrick Sutton isn’t easily pigeonholed. Unless you call contemporary elegance with just enough luxe a pigeonhole. His work is at once glamorous as well as stylishly and deceptively simple. It’s romance and travel, luxury and layering. Life would be lovely in any of these rooms. As an aside I have a major design crush on the pink Murano chandelier married with those pink silk drapes. Love.

P.S. There’s a store too… oh my a very dangerous store. 

Today is the beginning of a 4 day long weekend for me which I am really stoked about because it means I have lots of time to get the dressing room completed and Jeff, Domino and Inky are moving in to my humble abode. It’s the unofficial beginning of summer up here in Canada, as this May 2-4 weekend is the biggest party weekend of the year filled with cottage parties and exorbitant beer consumption. I on the other hand will be painting….while drinking beer. 🙂 In honour of this special occasion I have some gorgeous spaces to share with you, care of Laura Bohn Design Associates. Based in New York, Laura Bohn “will often set unexpected hues and shapes together to give rooms depth and richness that is not easily replicated”. Rooms that are fresh and modern without being harsh. I loooove the bathroom sink set on metro shelving.

Vicente Wolf, designer extraordinaire, is a huge favourite of ours and we were fortunate to have his new PR person contact us to see if we wanted some photos for another post. Hard to pass up a request like that – I could use some dreamy photos of beautifully and perfectly executed spaces to brighten my day….neutral spaces done soooooo right that exude sophistication.

Love all things Swedish interior design? Can’t make up your mind if you are a white wall and floor sort of gal/guy? Maybe Gustavian? Classic Scandinavian midcentury modern? Out and out retro brick and knotty pine? Any or all of these and you’ll love the portfolio of Stockholm based photographer Andy Liffner. The whites are right, the colours pop. The light is bright and the wood is golden. A veritable smörgåsbord from the super talented snapper. Is there something wrong with me that I’m strangely drawn to a blonde brick and knotty pine 70s time capsule? Must be the power of Andy’s shots 😉

Isabelle Sjövall, the founder and president of Stockholm architecture and interior design firm Stargo, thought we might like to see some more beautiful photos of work they’ve completed. How could we pass that up? When I blogged about this firm back in 2007 I found all sorts of gorgeous spaces mostly decorated in black and white (LOVE!). These latest photos feature lots of creams and whites and some stunning wood paneling. (Thanks Isabelle!)
