Blue Ant Studio house tour

Joel of Blue Ant Studio emailed about a tour of his home he has posted on his blog. Joel and his wife Maria have amazing taste in furniture and design so I jumped at the chance to share these great photos. If anyone else out there is craving some good chair porn....this one's for you.

Send us your pictures or send us a link to your flickr site or blog and we'll take it from there. Can't wait to see your place!

So hip it hurts.

Very early on in the life of desire to inspire we received an email from Lorenzo telling us how much he loved the site and did we want to swap links. One look at his wonderful apartment and the blog that chronicles it and he was on the blog roll. I thought at first that Lorenzo and his girlfriend had to be designers. No they're in the arts and hail from Firenze my favourite Italian city. Their recently restored flat is stark white except for the pink quartz and resin floors and amazing original 50s windows. All of this is just the stage for their stellar collection of design classics. All the greats are here - Panton, Ettore Sottsass, Saarinen, Achille Castiglioni the list goes on. Lorenzo just sent me some new pictures. Their apartment is so hip it hurts! For details on their amazing collection check out their blog HipHouse.
