Not real estate stalking. Real estate offices. Inspiration comes from all around us. Great ideas for your home can be found at your favourite restaurant, that cool new shop in the high street or even an office space. Ideas translate and before you know it commercial inspires domestic. Earthy, textural, modern and urban. By Melbourne based interior designers Eades & Bergman.
As promised, here are some of my favourite spaces from Jimmy Schönning's portfolio.
I love everything about this kitchen - the colour scheme, the black tiles, the massive vintage light fixture, the table and bench, the fun DIY dining space lighting, the massive knob on the fridge...the only problem is I would lose my sh*t over trying to keep everything clean with all that open storage.
I love huge decks. LOVE. The table is amazing. I want my next house to have a black exterior. And the number on the door is graphic and cool.
Everyone has had these ugly/boring mirrored sliding closets in at least one place they've lived...what a simple and effective way to de-gross them.
Beautiful colours and rustic vibe. I love burlap/linen fabrics. Especially when wrinkled.
It's been a while since I first blogged the sweet pad of Swedish stylist/designer Jimmy Schönning, and I think an update is in order. His work is fabulous as always, if not better! Jimmy is obsessed with black, white and green interiors...and plants. Nothing wrong with this combo - it's fresh, modern and timeless. I've saved some favourite spaces of his for a post later today so stay tuned!
I can smell summer. I can smell the salt in the air, the smoke from distant bush fires on the breeze. I can smell freshly caught fish on barbecues and sunscreen. I can hear waves softly lapping, gum leaves on gum trees dancing, the kids next door squealing in the pool and the soft putt putt putt of a dingy on the way out to a sail boat. I really can when I dream about this home I found real estate stalking. Palm Beach, Sydney on the Pittwater side. I could never afford it but I can dream and sniff the salt in the air. Link here while it lasts.
She just gets it. We've featured Australian photographer Armelle Habib many times on the blog and her work is always fresh and always inspiring. Candid and real, her images of amazing homes are amazing in themselves. There is no fight, no conflict, no awkward questions about whether it's the great room or the great photographer. It's both because this photographer gives us as good as she gets. Genius and that's why her work is now being seen around the world. She works with the best, photographs the best and produces the best that appear in the best magazines. OK enough from the peanut gallery here. Enjoy!
