Hannes Söderland

I will have to make this brief as I am trying to make it out to Rockland Textiles this evening (I prepare my posts the night before) to see about some fabrics for pillows for my DIY sofa. I shall leave you with the lovely photography of Stockholm based (you would guess that by the photos) Hannes Söderland. P.S. This is what I ended up finding.

Tia Borgsmidt

It's a week for wishing. This time I wish that Danish photographer Tia Borgsmidt would update her site. Please. I love what I've seen already but I'd love to see more, lots more and I'm dreaming of digital photos and beautiful large images because let's face it Tia has talent! I love the colours and that bright white light that seems to be a trademark of Danish photographers and magazines.

Double take

Last year I posted about New York design firm 2Michaels, founded by twins Joan and Jayne. Joan emailed the other day to let us know that both her and her sister's apartments were featured in a recent issue of Interior Design. Joan lives in Jayne's former 1,200 sq ft apartment, "the cheapest two-bed, two-bath on the Upper West Side" while Jayne scored an affordable 1,100 sq ft Midtown apartment with East River views that had been untouched by the former owner for 40 years. Jayne's apartment required alot of work while Joan's required alot of furniture (she moved in with only 3 pieces). The results of both apartments is a mid-century vintage vibe and lots of iconic furniture and accessories, and so much stunning artwork. (Thanks Joan and Jayne for sharing your homes with us!)

This first group of photos is Jayne's apartment.

These next photos are of Joan's apartment.

Lovin' Lara

Lovin' the portfolio of Brooklyn photographer Lara Robby. Bright, light, fun and fresh. Love the colours and the craft station ideas but most of all love the way Lara shots and scores with simple composition and lovely light. I still wish I wrote a food blog because then I could feature her fab food portfolio. Yummy!
