We have all seen (and fallen in love with) shots of photographer Paul Massey's Mousehole, Cornwall home but did you know you can rent it for a holiday stay? And look at the view! Oh my! My trouble would be that I wouldn't want to give the keys back. The Oyster Catcher via Unique Home Stays.
Love this photograph by Jeroen van der Spek. The soft light that washes in from the window. The wall of not so green greenery through the arch. The rustic table and the old mismatched chairs. The flicker of candle light. A story told through the lens of a camera.
WOW do I ever love this home! Rustic barn-look on the outside, soaring beamed ceilings on the inside in my favourite colour palette of black, white and browns, featuring a modern vibe mixed with global treasures. It's pretty much perfection. I'd even take the gorgeous dog. This is the home of cinematographer Darius Wolski photographed by Martin Löf.

Modern family needs and aged Mediterranean patina and all of this is Scottsdale, Arizona. Based on a rural farmhouse the home surrounds a central courtyard with pool providing ample opportunity to tie the inside to the the out. A series of intimate rooms not large open plan areas ensures the home, though large, is on a more human scale. New yet old, relaxed yet sophisticated.
