LOVE!!!

This room blows my mind it's so cool. I have a couple of things that bother me but I'm not even going to voice them because this room just deserves a moment of silence, and then a big *SIGH*. Via MilK.

And I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. :-) Jo and I are only taking Christmas Day off (and maybe New Years Eve) so keep coming back - we'll be featuring our favourite spaces from our 2013 posts. Cheers!   

LOVE

Helloooooo one of cutest bathrooms I've ever seen. I love your flat black ceiling and gold dangling light bulb fixtures and white mosaic tiles and white painted brick and trough sink and library card shelving unit and fish art.

I'm really liking this kitchen too. And it matches the bathroom aboove. :) I don't know where the fridge is and as much as I love the lack of upper cabinets, I don't know how pratical the space is. But it's got lots of counter space and a really cool modern vintage vibe.

Stalking the beauty of decay

Stalking an unassuming facade in Collingwood, Melbourne. Perhaps a shop with accommodation over? Is it one of those über slick modern renovations that leaves the front in an unrestored state then wows you with high end finishes and slick design within? No. It is something more poignant, to me more inspiring. The march of time, the aging of a building, the death of a space. The beauty of decay. A moment in time to marvel at the untouched shell until someone buys it and wows you with high end finishes and slick design within. Link here while it lasts.

Not your ordinary bathroom

I have another luxurious, statement bathroom for you with a serious WOW factor by Royston Wilson Design & Minosa Design. This one is pretty bold, with a larger than life Mr. Bonaparte checking you out while you bathe. Black colour scheme, LED lighting that changes colour, and a disco ball over the tub, this is definitively not a bathroom for the faint at heart. Did I mention WOW? (Read more about it here)

A boat dock

This is the coolest boat dock I have ever seen. As soon as I found it I sent it to my sister and brother-in-law who have a cottage, knowing they'd get a kick out of it. Via Texas architecture firm Bercy Chen Studio. Located on a bend in Lake Austin across from Canyonland Nature Preserve, the site is suggestive of the elliptical form that maximizes the beautiful views of the undulating hills beyond. The rounded edges of the dock peel away, allowing more of the landscape to be captured into the visual frame.
