The trip had been long. Australia is, after all, the other side of the world but as the taxi made its way towards Passage Landrieu her excitement mounted. She was in Paris. At last. Tomorrow the adventure would begin in earnest. For now, though, she stood in the doorway of the loft she would call home for the next few days. She felt in tingle run up her spine as she took it all in. So chic, so eclectic, so perfect. (Via onefinestay.)
Nestled in the green hills of the Byron Bay hinterland, Northern New South Wales is a special place. A getaway, a retreat from the everyday, an events venue, a beautiful old home and its refurbished rustic shed. Stay a while, team build or get married. Such a lovely spot in a lovely part of the world. Gurragawee.
I was wandering through instagram when one turn then another brought me out at the home of the Jersey Ice Cream Company. Here's the thing. They do not actually make ice cream but their creations are just as delicious.
"Every space holds its own unique opportunities. Old houses are filled with secrets, little clues that lie hidden for years. The only thing better than rescuing them from layers of wallpaper, paint, and carpet is weaving those stories together with fresh ideas, creating spaces that feel new but instantly familiar. Though empty white boxes lack similar stories, they carry with them a certain sense of freedom. When a history doesn't already exist, it's ours to create."
It's Wednesday. The middle of a long working week. Hump day. Need a little daydream to make it through the day, the week? Time to take a virtual holiday to the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. To a simple stone house, to Kuća Kamena in Novigrad (of Croatia's four Novigrads this one is the one that is famous for not being famous). To the home of artist and designer Boris Kajmak and, if you like, yours for a little while. Rustic beauty in a beautiful part of the world.
Casual, beachy, rustic, bohemian...South Carolina based interior designer Amy Trowman designs spaces that are all of the above, and so much more. Sophisticated yet don't mind if the dog scratches the floor and bare feet are a must. Her kitchens are soooo dreamy. My favourite one is up next.
