Brandon Barré update
It has been quite a while since I featured the photography of Torontonian Brandon Barré so I thought an update was in order. He always shoots the funkiest Canadian-designed spaces, and always perfectly composed to make fabulous SPECTACULAR.
Monday's pets on furniture
If you'd like to send me photos to include in next week's pets on furniture post, please ensure your photos follow these 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, if the photo is too dark or unfocused it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to kim[at]desiretoinspire[dot]net. Thanks!
This is our cat Nico snoozing in the late May afternoon sun on our vintage Solair Chair.
- Jacquie (Vancouver, Canada)
This is Coco, a one-year old blue lynx Ragdoll. The sweetest, fluffiest Ragdoll I've ever known. She loves sleeping in bags, but when there isn't one handy a bit of midcentury furniture will do nicely.
- Maggie (Toronto, Ontario)
These are my kitties on all sorts of furniture. Pony (solid white cat) and Rocket Long (her brother) :)
- Jordan (Nashville, TN)
Jane Cameron Architects
Black and white palette tempered with wood. Unlike my previous post these two renovations by Melbourne based Jane Cameron Architects seem warmer, more approachable. Hard surfaces like concrete or marble appear as features not the predominant finish while small pops of colour break the starkness as do pot plants. Serene, elegant almost Scandinavian. Love.
OOOOX
A colour palette of black, white and grey. Slick, hard surfaces. Think concrete and metal warmed sparingly with wood. Too stark? Too cold? Or just right for your minimalist style? My favourites? the bathrooms especially the white one and the box shelving in the living area. Modern interiors by Prague based OOOOX Architects.
