apartment envy

this apartment done by haus interior and featured in trad home | lonny mag has me a tad bit jealous.  i'm actually really into the grayscale faux bois paper in the bedroom.

so many great little moments in this issue, all featuring different perspectives on traditional interiors.  

                        

weekend getaway

I'm totally inspired (and a little jealous) of kristiana spaulding at silver trailer. reinventing the interior of an old airstream has been on my wish/to-do list for a long, long time. she has a collection of them and they're for rent...

happy friday

nice shades

making space interesting or creating interesting space, some shades are becoming so large they begin to have their own room-like quality. large pendents could work in very open and spacious interiors to designate smaller, more intimate areas, or they could work as the one out-standing element in a smaller room.

i keep going back to this article from a 2007 objekt magazine that features an interior done by spanish designer ana borrallo. the house is in montreal. while my personal aesthetic tends towards a more subtle, clean line, uncluttered interior space, i really just like this interior. every room is bursting with texture, light, and color, it's pretty amazing. large windows are shielded with slats or blinds of different widths and colors allowing natural light to filter in and reflect through the space on countless accent mirrors, chrome finished pieces, and cut glass chandeliers. interior lighting is hidden under shelving, within recessed alcoves, and behind large acrylic and onyx wall panels. it's sensory...loaded.

clean comfort circa 1960s

design and style icons exist because of some classic element having lasting appeal.  to me it is an item that remains true to what it is and the purpose it serves.  there are of course so many mid-century designs that have become symbols of what we now consider to be "modern".

the chair on the left is one which i have spotted in a number of recent publications, created by the australian designer grant featherston.  the chair on the right is a similar version recently displayed online.
