I'm lovin'....

...this living room? office? I've posted it before but whatever it is I am in love, and it needs it's own post. I have been thinking alot lately how I need a proper place to put my collection of shelter mags. They are currently piled in my office and in a bookcase in the dungeon basement. I'm thinking of some type of unit in my office to replace the revamped wardrobe unit I have in there currently, or making the wall in my bedroom opposite the bed floor to ceiling shelving. The magazines in this photo just look...beautiful. A little bit of mid-century modern always gets me going - and those tulip chairs are perfect in the space. *SIGH* I'm definitively loving this.

I'm lovin' ...

... this photo by Trevor Dixon. I love ephemera, all kinds of typography, vintage anything and that blue! The science geek in me is loving the eye chart and hey in the day of the computer, the typewriter tugs at the nostalgia heartstrings. A great look to copy for an office vignette. Photographer take a bow for a great photo. Unknown stylist all I can say is "Yes!". See more of Trevor's fab portfolio on his rep's site here.

Favourite Aussies 08

So much talent coming from the great southern land of Oz. Here are some of my favourites this year. Aussie interior designers, architects, stylists and photographers rock. Oh so many fabulous rooms I think there might have to be a part two very soon. Enjoy!

Outdoor favourites

Light Locations

I've gone through my files and found my favourite "outdoor rooms" for 2008. I love living outside as much as possible and if I had spaces as stylish as these I doubt I'd want to come back inside. Whether a chair pulled up casually in a favourite garden corner, a private place on a veranda or an architect's dream melding outside with in there is inspiration a plenty.

My favourite bathrooms of '08

I will be posting over the next few days my favourite photos of the year, by room type. The bathrooms from this year (and by this year I mean that I've saved on Flickr after Jan 1 '08) that have inspired me are below.

Reasons I love these: old world beauty, most amazing tiles EVER, fun wallpaper, sleek and simple, copper tub (OMG), mosaic tiles, glamourous, quirky in white, insane view, dramatic, earthy, oversized artwork, dark and moody, bold colour...
