This is Luna, the Neapolitan Mastiff. She lives in Buffalo, NY and when the summer patio furniture is out, she usually claims it for herself. She shares, but at 160 pounds, she’s hardly a lap dog.

My sister Jen sent me this photo of one of her 3 cats, Zoe lounging on the living room sofa.

And from me…Phoebe likes to sneak up on my Panton chair the second I move off of it. It’s hilarious because I’ll go up to her to sit back down and she won’t look me in the eye thinking I won’t see her. (I blame my Cowboy Kate sheepskin). And foster cat Moss on the kitchen counter debating if he wants to go through that makeshift curtain out to the catio

Nestled within 66 acres of beautifully manicured gardens and parkland in Tunbridge Wells, England is Hepburn House, a manor befitting a queen. Or a princess. Or a really high-paid actress. The decor is fairly minimal and essentially all white so it frankly is underwhelming but what I can say is that helps to not distract from the glorious details like many fireplaces, panelled walls, incredibly detailed plasterwork, 12′ ceilings, massive windows and dark wood floors. The rooms are SO BIG. What a dream home this would be to decorate. You could fit anything anywhere. *SIGH* Another location home available via Shoot Factory. 

I’m stalking an über cool apartment in the inner Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst. A stark black and white palette with shiny, slick surfaces is mellowed by hints of palest blue, raw wood and wicker, softened with linen and wool. Minimalist abstract art covers the walls. A stylish, sophisticated and unexpected mix for this ultimately comfortable take on urban living. Link here while it lasts.

Summer so far has been wet and cold and I am not very happy about it. Coupled with the fact that my entire yard continues to look like a neglected disaster I was hitting up Inside Out magazine’s website for some inspiration and found these dreamy spaces. Oh, how I wish I could get someone here to do some landscaping and build me a she-shed/gazebo thing, and make the sun come out and temperatures soar… 

Gaztelur is a restaurant/flower shop/antique shop/banquet hall and one of the most breathtaking venues I have ever seen. Designed by Marta de la Rica, it is an eclectic blend of vintage pieces from just about every era making each space refreshingly unique. I am in awe of the original architectural details that lend such a stunning backdrop to the furnishings and those incredible chandeliers.
