Cool On Every Surface

 

There's a lot to envy here isn't there. From the dark timbers to the monochromatic cool on every surface, there isn't a single thing in this home that I wouldn't happily tuck under my wing.

 

The best bits for me are the industrial light over the table, the awesome storage arrangement in the kitchen, the shade-less lamp in the dining area with the amber bulb {where oh where do you get those from??!!} and of course the fabulous long and narrow fauxdenza. Have been a long time fan of those, and yet too big a chicken shit to try one yet.

Back On The Radar

 

I've always been a sucker for good black + white, so no surprises when this place caught my eye.

Seriously jealous of that mercury glass jug, and this bedroom has put the pia wallen blanket I've ummed and aghhhed about for so long firmly back on the radar.

 

*having serious connection problems this week, apologies if there

are any problems with the images, flying a little blind at the moment*

Cool Links

 

This place shot onto my radar this weekend via some very cool links from Apartment Therapy. The artwork above the dining table featured in the same post.  I really loved the neutral B + W scheme matched with a solid dose of timber and the light smattering of vintage throughout the home.

 

Oh, and I'd seriously love that bedhead and martini sign in my place. Such a great look.

 

And thanks again A.T!

Credentials

 

Another lovely boho chic pad to round out the week. This one seems very grown up through don't you think. Its boho chic with credentials.

 

The black, grey, white and beige scheme is a perfect back drop for a bit of tribal, a bit of gold luxe, and a bit of texture. Perfect ingredients.

Crisp Details

 

This modernist home was screaming 'BUY ME' on the weekend. But sadly, as it's in Florida and costs $2.4m, I thought it imprudent.

 

The concrete floors are gorgeous and the crisp details - not a skirting board or architrave in sight. The sliding mirrored door is a little detail I'd like to steal and use here. But I think that black bedroom was the killer for me.

Did You Spot This...

 

 

 

 

 

.... cool place over at Design*Sponge? Loved it.

 

Good solid doses of black, white and aged timber. Killer combo.

Clever Sense

This brilliant home brings together the exact look I'd like to achieve if I was starting from scratch with a new build.

A simple back drop (the grey is perfect) and a slathering of vintage to bring it into the realm of real.

Not to mention that v. cool black kitchen and black wall that shows off a clever sense of perspective. Great idea on the moose head.

But i seriously love the vintage bath and vanity - that colour is just gorgeous. And when looking at hte house a whole, how well does it fit in with the overall look!
