Mimmi O'Connell
With a fusion of Asian and European aesthetics interior designer Mimmi O'Connell brings a calm and elegant sensibility to her rooms. Linen is mixed with iron and timber, whitewash with Asian antiques and world travel finds. It's a look that is evocative of warm lazy afternoons, a siesta in Southern France or Tuscany. Fine wine and a fine life surrounded by simple yet fine things.

Love the colours.. the use of floor standing mirror.. and the laddar.. I've got to use a laddar somewhere!!!
I adore the bathroom with the sunken tub and the beautiful mirrors.. so relaxing!
I was impressed most with your line describing them -- linen is mixed with iron and timber -- don't know why that struck such a chord
Thanks for the fantastic post. I want to move in... any of the rooms. The layering is so intimate.
gorgeous rooms! i love those drum looking things.
I can't decide which I love more - the Asian or European spaces. :)
Just love the eclectic mix! Great post, as always!
I am desperate to find the 19th century English wrought iron and brass canopy bed. Can anyone help? PLEASE!!!
