Through the back door

Posted on Fri, 7 Oct 2016 by midcenturyjo

I don’t know what I like better, the view through the back door or the kitchen itself. Doesn’t matter. It’s a definite case of kitchen love. By Sydney-based interior architect Sally Rhys-Jones.

Swan River House

Posted on Thu, 22 Sep 2016 by midcenturyjo

It’s easy to see that the interior designers at Kim Pearson are “interested in the worlds that exist in and between the old and the new, the directional and the classic, the contemporary and the traditional.” This family house in Perth, Western Australia is full of colour and personality with considered respect for its 110 year old history. Modern yes but definitely not renovated within an inch of its life. A family home with soul.

When bits of colour shine against white

Posted on Sun, 18 Sep 2016 by KiM

I love this Victorian home I found via jj Locations. Bright white walls and painted floors make the perfect backdrop for subtle bits of colours added through vintage mid century chairs, art, a touch of wallpaper and accessories. Yes, I apparently have a thing with Victorian homes in the UK. They are always fabulous. 

The beauty of simplicity

Posted on Fri, 2 Sep 2016 by midcenturyjo

Sometimes we get carried away with adding more and more design details to our rooms. Layering on the textures, adding more and more pieces of furniture, more and more bells and whistles, losing the essence of a space, concentrating on the accoutrements not the substance. Connecticut interior designer Calla McNamara‘s work is defined by neutral color palettes, minimalist architecture and natural materials. It is clean lined and considered, beautiful in its simplicity. A breath of fresh air.

Choosing favourites

I couldn’t make up my mind which house by Houston-based interior designer Marie Flanigan to share with you so I chose my favourite rooms from several. Rooms that are timeless and elegantly simple. You can find more inspiration on her website.
