Reader's home - Benedicte's bright home in Norway

Benedicte, a photographer from Norway, had sent photos of her dogs for my Monday's pets on furniture feature a couple of years ago (seen here) and I was smitten with the glimpse it gave into her home. She was going to send me photos of it but ended up having to move quickly. She is now in a new home and appears to have spent alot of time and effort into decorating it (interior design is another passion of hers, and it shows). The result is a beautiful, bright and graphic home with lots of charm and adorable vignettes everywhere. This needs to be in a magazine!

LOVE

More eye candy in case the last batch didn't quite do it for ya. Via KK Living.

Hess Hoen

Oh dear lord help me! I don't know where to start. I can't find the words to describe how much I love this harbour side home in Sydney by Hess Hoen. Old meets new. Layers of texture and simple luxury. Stone and oak and linen and tile. Oh my! It has me flustered in the very best way.

Some Sunday eye candy

I don't know about anyone else, but as we get into August I start to get super depressed because our hot and sunny days are numbered. UGH! I spent all day yesterday hanging out at my parent's place, mostly lounging in their pool enjoying the drink of the day - cucumber gin fizz (sooo good). This means all I have for you today is some eye candy I found care of KK Living. And I might just spend today at the pool too. Laundry and dirty house can wait.

Haptic Architects

London and Oslo based Haptic Architects have reached into the unused loft above this top floor Olso apartment to create a light filled home. Vertical lines heighten the space while positive and negative space define the areas in otherwise open plan living. File away the staircase in your inspiration folders. Yes I know not to code in many countries but a work of art, a domestic sculpture. Inspiration doesn't always have to be practical. A dream, a fleeting thought. A joy. Like the fireplace in the kitchen. The true hearth in the home.
