John Janik

John Janik is an amazing designer - I love his style and his use of classic mid-century furniture. Here are photos of his work from his website.

I love this house

An Australian couple have turned a run-down 18th century villa in Positano into a light, airy, modern home. A cantilevered ribbon of antique Vietri tiles snakes through the living areas becoming a coffee table, a bench, a place to eat.I love the juxtaposition of ancient space and modernist forms.

Wunderkammer

A wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities, is a place to gather your treasured collections. More than that .... the weird, the wonderful, the found and discarded. Nature's detritus or man made discards. A collection may contain the truly beautiful or the down right bizarre. This post started out as a look at how to display collections but I was quickly drawn into the wonder of the cabinet of curiosities.

Weekend home

Interior designer Joe Nahem and Jeff Fields have a gorgeous weekend home in Amagansett, Long Island. It was featured in Elle Decor and is simply stunning. Love all the use of wood and wall coverings.
