We received an email yesterday about interior designer John Barman and his home in the Hamptons that will be on the Kips Bay and Architectural Digest House Tour this weekend (the first half of the photos above and below are of his home). His designs are captivating, and he can knock out a contemporary, classic or eclectic space like no one’s business. Talk about versatile…”striking perfect balance between the sumptuous and the seriously hip. Barman is known for his clear-cut, sophisticated style, bold new ideas, and a strong point of view. He favors handsome, crisp lines; the unrestrained use of strong, resonant color; new uses for traditional materials; and the successful marriage of functionality and fine detailing.” Yeah baby!










OMG! I can’t get enough of photographer David Giles’ portfolio. Specialising in interiors and still life for editorial and PR clients his images are not only beautiful but convey the essence of each room he captures. The wonderful thing about David’s website is that he has an extensive features section. Take the time to explore all these incredible photo stories. You won’t be disappointed!








Jo and I are amazed at how many designers, photographers, stylists etc. take the time and email us to thank us for posting their work. Yesterday one of those emails was from David Jimenez, and I’ve got to say, I was as giddy as a little schoolgirl. I was all, “No, thank YOU for being a GENIUS”. Ok, I didn’t say that but perhaps I should have. I was however inspired to post more of his photos (maybe in the hopes of receiving a second email? LOL), so enjoy round 2 of David Jimenez splendour.

Julie Carlson of Remodelista blog emailed that her totally remodeled California home was featured in Home magazine. When I took a look at the photos, it was like everything I had always wanted in my home was there in hers! Incredible storage ideas, the cutest desk next to the kitchen with yet more storage, and even an outdoor bathing area!! And all in white. *SIGH*








…. or rather a series of rooms. I’m in love with this quirky, slightly eccentric mix of hard core concrete brutalism with an OTT lipstick red girly girl look. I want to soak in that tub! Oh and wear those shoes! More beautiful images from Denise Bonenti.
