It’s easy to see why Stiff + Trevillion are leading U.K. architects. Theirs is not a definable “style”. It’s modern, clean lined and addresses the connection between heritage and the future, preservation and everyday use. It’s about light and volume, the client’s needs and beautiful spaces. More than inspiring.











Could you do it? Could you live so minimally? I’m both fascinated and frightened by this recently renovated worker’s cottage in Woollahra, Sydney that I stumbled across in my stalking. Such a beautiful and serene house but where do I put my things? Lots of storage I’m sure but could I have maybe just one or two (or in my case several dozen) retro vases? Stunning simplicity for sale here while the link lasts.











Weekends right before Christmas are always hectic. For me this past weekend was just that, filled with LOTS of baking, wrapping presents, having to go into work on Saturday, cleaning, laundry etc. etc. It’s Sunday night as I am desperately trying to get everything done so I can sit on the couch for 5 freaking minutes. Which is why I wanted to do a simple second post for the day, so I decided to pick out my favourite photos from the first 2 issues of Lonny magazine – one of the coolest new sources for inspirational interiors.











Welcome to a new week and welcome to the portfolio of photographer Ragnar Ómarsson. Don’t let the fact the I’m highlighting yet another Swedish Icelandic living in Sweden photographer hold you back from devouring all the fabulous photos on Ragnar’s website. Great shots with all the Scandinavian touches one could wish for. Check out the lifestyle section to inspire and delight at this time of the year.
P.S. The last photo is for all those readers in the Northern Hemisphere who are “snowed” under at the moment. Spring will come!







One of our favourite photographers, Miguel Flores-Vianna, emailed to let us know he’s revamped his website and thought we might want to take a look. Not only does his new site look great but it’s full of new photos we haven’t posted before (check out this post from last year). They are as stunning as always – and I think there’s a couple in there of India Hick’s home. That’s right – he shot India, her family and home for Domino magazine!
