I’m totally in love with the tumblr “Handcrafted in Virginia”. It’s full of toasty rustic interiors, moody landscapes and there’s even a bit of spice thrown in. Perfect inspiration to embrace winter with! So cuddle up with some mulled wine and enjoy:

This just might be the week that my beloved windows are installed – just in the nick of time, as we seem to have dived straight into autumn. My vision for the kitchen was to strive for an industrial look and, when we first thought of placing a full length window to the side of the extension, all I could think about was those gorgeous leaded windows you find in old warehouses. It raised a few eyebrows since traditionally the […]

Anyone who is in awe of beautiful still-life arrangements in the home, but also acutely aware of how tricky it can be, should take a look at Kara Rosenlund’s blog and her brilliant video on styling a plain white shelf. Genius and inspirational! Kara is a props stylist and buyer, who also runs vignette (still-life) workshops in Australia. You can see from her blog and portfolio, she is a total master. I’m also just a little bit in love with […]

Our extension is taking so long I’m beginning to forget what’s its like to have a home. I’m itching to get the candles out and make things cosy, and without the ability to do that, I feel like I’ve lost my right arm. Apparently we have a month to go but looking outside it seems a long way off! So to cheer myself up, and live in somebody’s else’s shoes for a while, I’m lusting after Ellen Degeneres and Portia […]

Want an insight into eclectic dressing? Take a look at this interview with Helena Christensen for FutureClaw magazine, where Helena takes on the role as stylist, and creates an intimate portrayal of her kind of living. Similar to At Home With Helena Part I, let’s face it, who can resist another look at such gorgeousness? I think I just might prefer this photoshoot – what do you think? HC “There are some of my favourite items in there, yeah. It […]

This house is a lesson in how to renovate a 19th century hospital into a quirky family abode. Fortunately Ludvine Degas specialises in renovations and her husband runs a metalwork company. Taking over seven years, this is the result – a beautiful fusion of soft greys and industrial metal. Oh, what I would do for that pool right now! Photographs by Anne Catherine Scoffoni

How perfect would this Coriscan retreat be, for all those covetable boho looks from last week? No surprise then that it belongs to the designer of Zadig et Voltaire – the french hippie/rockstar brand. You can just feel the dry heat coming off the pages! Images: Milk Decoration

I don’t normally go for dark colours in the home but this dwelling in Cape Town has just the right injection of warmth. I love the textured walls, the yellow pop of colour and those suitcases, antlers…..the list goes on! House & Leisure SA June 2013, Photographs Micky Hoyle

I love the way this little home has been decorated. Really simply but drawing the eye to the natural character of the rooms. A tranquil post to lead us into the weekend……. (Images: Anna Kern/House of Pictures for Elle Decoration July 2013)
