Textures and patterns

I adore this home. All that wood, the massive amount of art mostly leaning casually on the floor, the gorgeous kilim rugs and pillows, the burlap window treatments…it does not get much cozier than this. By Commune.

The Imaginarium

Posted on Wed, 28 Jan 2015 by midcenturyjo

I remember the first time I entered stylist Sibella Court’s bijou shop of wonders The Society inc. in Paddington, Sydney. I was overwhelmed by her wonderful wares. I wanted to hide under a table and only crawl out again at closing time and pretend the Paddington terrace house was all mine to explore. Now my fantasies can come true. Sibella has opened a new warehouse in St Peters and the terrace house is available to rent on airbnb.  “An imaginarium… a quiet oasis offering the curious traveller a treasure trove of curiosities, artisan objects & furniture, a vast reference library…” See. Dreams do come true.

Summer home

Posted on Tue, 20 Jan 2015 by midcenturyjo

It must have something to do with my return to work after the summer holidays but I’m obsessing over holiday homes, guest houses, boat houses, anything that’s associated with running away from the day to day drudgery and putting up my feet. I’d happily set up camp in this lovely cottage for a few more weeks of sun and fun. Sagaponack Summer Home by Huniford.

I need this space

Like a sunbeam tracking across a floor. Like birdsong breaking through the everyday white noise. Like a steaming cup of coffee and the time to savour it. I need this. By Southern Californian based SMID.

Wham! Bam! Retro glam. A stunning house and an interior curated with passion and a dash of fun. The home of Renee Coleman of The Collector Design. Very cool!
