When you love what you’re doing it shows in your work. Finnish (and half English) photographer Joanna Moorehouse obviously loves what she does. Her work is refreshing and bright, real and believable. These are rooms that we could walk right into and make ourselves at home. Joanna’s photos make us feel that way and that’s her work done.













Happy Friday everyone! Today is one of my Fridays off from the day job so I am going to begin a little house project here that I’ve been wanting to start for months (well, in reality, since I bought this place). I’m not going to say much about it until it’s done – I will say it’s a small in-the-meantime project to deal with some current UGLY that I cannot live with anymore. So while I gulp down a cup of green tea I thought I would share with you all another photographer friend of Robin (yesterday was Ryann Ford) based in Austin, Texas. Introducing the stellar photography of Casey Dunn. (I am in love with the stairs in the first photo and the black tiled bathroom).




















A stylist’s work is never done.! Room after room, set after set for magazines, catalogues, advertisements, photo shoots of all types. No time for anything else… except perhaps a blog, a stylish blog. This is the portfolio of Emily Henderson, stylist and flea market addict. Gorgeous don’t you think? And the blog? The Brass Petal. So much to explore and enjoy.











A reader named Robin emailed us recently about some photographers based in Austin, Texas whom she knows and thought we might like to share their work with our readers. I thought I’d start with Ryann Ford, who specializes in architecture, interiors and travel. In the first three years of her career, Ryann had the best job imaginable -she lived out of her suitcase while working with Resorts and Great Hotels magazine, photographing hotels all over the world. Sounds like a dream job to me. Jealousy aside, her photography is spectacular and it seems Austin has some pretty hip and happenin’ homes…(Thanks Robin!)












Nataleigh emailed Jo and I the other day asking our advice on a vintage chair she was thinking of purchasing (which she thankfully did because it was REALLY cute) and also sent us a link to photos (taken by Chris Colegrove) of a home her mother, Wendy Roach, remodeled for someone a few years ago. The name of her company is Charleston Homes, located in Fort Worth, Texas. It is a beautiful house with stunning views. I can’t decide what I prefer more – the deck and huge party dock, the 2 story wall of windows, the front door, the open kitchen shelving, the HUGE bathroom…(And Nataleigh, a 24 year old recent college graduate, has promised to send us photos of her first home that her mom also remodeled.
