Stalking Neutral

Neutral Bay in Sydney that is. Although the mostly neutral colour palette lifted with the occasional colour outburst might also be the reason for the blog post. I had toyed with a post name that questioned whether this was an empty home that had been styled for sale, say something like "stalking secretly sleekly styled" but I think the house is furnished like this and has been decluttered to within an inch of being empty. The kids' rooms decided it for me. This is a real home. I would have loved to have seen it with toys in the corner of the living room, more tchotchkes and perhaps a plant or two. But the styling must have worked because it is sold. Link here while it lasts.

So peaceful

I would love to spend my entire summer here. And then maybe never leave. Via 1st Option.

Stalking in Sweden

I'm stalking on a Saturday but not on my home turf. I'm stalking a rather special apartment in Stockholm. Two floors of contemporary style meets old world charm, sleek chic meets aged natural finishes. It's the home of Filippa Knutsson designed by Bjorn and Marianne Aaro of Aaro Architects. Swoon. Old dark timbers and new Dinesen oak floors, white walls and dark trim. I'd keep it just the way it is. A perfect marriage of modern and an earthy ethnic vibe. Sadly for us all it is no longer available but you'll find the link here while it lasts.

Copper lighting love

Jean-Marc Wullschleger

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned my lighting obsession (lamp trampness) and blogged some pendants bedside.Today I thought I'd feature a round-up of one of my favourite light fixtures - Tom Dixon's copper shade pendant. OMG this light fixture is HOT. The gorgeous copper colour (forget the bronze or the mirror ball, it's got to be copper), the reflective shine, the simplicity....it's to die for. And I don't own one. YET. But I will. Because I have to.

Shoot me

That's it. Put me out of my misery. Just shoot me because I fell in love with a yellow chair I found on sfgirlbybay and followed the link and lost my heart to a home I will never have on location maestros Shoot Factory's books and I'm distraught. Just shoot me. Put me out of my misery. More photos here.
