Soothing

I find black and white decor very soothing, and veeeeeeery appealing. And because I am feeling a little overwhelmed right now with everything going on, I thought a little black and white via Skonahem might help...or at the very least distract me momentarily. (I think I could have also titled this post "Lighting porn").

Naomi Finlay

I absolutely adore the photos of Australian-born-now-let-loose-in-Toronto-based photographer Naomi Finlay. She "combines her keen awareness of architectural flow with a sense of intimacy as she captures the rhythm of a space". I think that's exactly why her photos appear so...believeable. (Thanks for the tip Shannon!)

Black and white

Simple and dramatic. Minimal and and brooding in that Belgian way. Black and white modern luxury from Ensemble & Associés, Brussels.

Hardcore conversion

You've heard about rough luxe. How about tough luxe? Perhaps we should call it high end brutal. It's luxury meets spartan, minimalist meets money. It's bacchanalian elimination. This loft in Dusseldorf revels in the essential beauty of the building. Seemingly unadorned but oh so carefully curated. Restrained, refined, distilled. Warehouse conversion by Belgian studio Atelier d'Architecture Bruno Erpicum & Partners.

P.S. Just realised that Kim had featured part of this conversion before when she featured Bruno Erpicum here. Thought that somewhat misogynistic artwork looked familiar ;)

Monday's pets on furniture - part 2

If you'd like to send me photos to include in next week's "pets on furniture" post, please ensure your photos follow my basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off...and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, the photo must be of decent quality. If it's dark or fuzzy (from a camera phone) then it may not make the cut. Thanks! (Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.com and PLEASE don't send closeups of your pet!)

This little pup is Ollie. He's a Border Collie/Jack Russell mix that I recently rescued from the humane society. He thinks that this Quinn chair is a comfy spot, and I think he looks really cute on it!

My bootiful cat is Billy, he's a persian chinchilla and he's curled up on my son's bed in one photo and in my study on the shelf in the other!

This is Daisy, our year-and-a-half-old Boxer who decided to make herself at home in our new bucket chair. She follows the sunbeams through the room all day long.

I've attached a few pictures of our Chihuahua, Hibou! She loves to soak up the sun while lounging around the living room :)
- Dustin & Hibou (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
