Heavenly B & B

Long time readers will know that Kim and I LOVE church conversions. LOVE. I think I've found the perfect spot for a weekend getaway ... if you live in Belgium (or if you are passing through). Het Verloren Gedicht. The Lost Poem. How romantic! Sigh! Beats breast! Swoons! Ok enough of that just pass the champagne!

The Shed

A teeny tiny almost derelict shed. Some imagination and foresight. Lots of talent. One amazing small space home and an award winning Australian renovation. The Shed by Richard Peters Associates via the Houses Awards. Good things do come in small packages.

  

Another location home

I have another Shoot Factory location home in London to share. This time it is fairly simple, and despite not being a lover of taupe-ish walls, I am enjoying these with fabulous black stained hardwood floors and white trim. I must mention the stack of Tolix armchairs that had me gasping in delight.

Whitney sent us the following email the other day: My husband and I (along with our three year old son and five month old son) just started an interior design business in the San Francisco area. With the economy down and many people having to rent homes instead of own them (us included) we thought that designing for renters was something the market was missing. We do quick small budget makeovers while the family goes out on a date! 2 hours and you have a new well designed space. What a fantastic idea! They have a blog with details of their business, and below are some before and after photos I found there. Good luck with your new biz Whitney and Kevin!

Frivolity

Just a little bit of fun. Nothing serious. Froth and bubbles. Perfect for tea and cupcakes. Found while real estate stalking in Marrickville, Sydney. Link here while it lasts.
