Stalking in my dreams

Posted on Wed, 17 Mar 2010 by midcenturyjo

Speechless! Want, need, want, can’t have. I love this Paddington terrace. LOVE. From the exterior colour to the quirky touches inside, the white and the colour, the artwork and those Achille Castiglioni Diablo Rise and Fall Lamps. Don’t get me started on the furniture! Love. Way out of my price range but this girl will be having pleasant dreams tonight of a make believe life in this beauty. Here while the link lasts.

Ditte Isager

Ditte Isager is my idol. She’s an extraordinaire photographer whose work has been featured in all the decent shelter magazine out there. She’s pratically a household name. And her photos magical. She takes advantage of the light and shadows like no other. See for yourself:

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

More retrolicious retro

Posted on Mon, 15 Mar 2010 by midcenturyjo

Wasn’t this picture just in a Swedish interiors magazine? Isn’t that the hottest indie fabric on Etsy? Or was it in the last IKEA catalogue? Of course not. It’s from this week’s retro design book. (Golden Homemakers 100 Ideas to Beautify Your Home, Gudenian Rockail & Mayer, Marshall Cavendish, London, 1972.) So much to love in today’s offerings… and SO much to hate. That bathroom for one. Am I the only one to think the young girl below looks like the angelic psycho child from a bad blood curdling slasher horror film? Perhaps “Revenge of the Interior Designer’s Children Part II”? They’re coming to get you!!!

Cure for the blahs

Posted on Fri, 12 Mar 2010 by KiM

I think those of us dealing with the winter blahs could use a bit of colour for a pick-me-up. (I got my fair share in Mexico but I feel for those of you not able to travel south this winter). A shocking dose of pink oughtta help, care of some photos by Wilfried Overwater (via Taverne Agency).
