We've been here for a month!

One month...OMG. It's been so much fun but lots of work! The most exciting thing is all the friends we've made and all the support you've given us. Kim and I only met a couple of months ago on Flickr and look at us now. So the cupcakes are a thank you for all of you who visit and like what you see. Happy first month birthday to all of us! We're really keen to know where you all come from. Let us know in the comments. Thanks again for your support.

August Interiors

Gregory Augustine created his Philadelphia firm August Interiors in 2004. Fabrics are his favourite inspiration, as a way to build a palette and design concept. His style is eclectic and makes for some very intriguing rooms.

The China Club, Berlin

An exclusive members club in the old and new centre of Berlin, the China Club was founded and designed by Anne Maria Jagdfelt. An interesting juxtaposition of bygone luxury and marxist propaganda I'd love to settle in for a scotch and the International Herald Tribune.

Stairway to heaven

The name says it all. A little riser and tread thread.

Really REALLY dark walls

I would love to paint a room black. I love drama. A black room (or a really dark brown) is all about drama. Not too many people are willing to go so far as to paint a room this dark. Well, now you can live vicariously through these photos.
