Aurore de la morinerie

Brushwork

February 23, 2015 by igetakickoutofyou

How satisfying would it be to be able to create something incredible using whatever material you just happened to pick up? Aurore de la Morinerie can and I’m very jealous. Here’s the evidence…..

Scandi Style

October 22, 2014 by igetakickoutofyou

I’m not entirely sure where these images originate from but I got them from interior junkie. However since it’s written in dutch I’m still none the wiser. The graphic prints and practical living all spells Scandinavian living but I could be wrong. Either way…love it!

Ivy Jacobsen

Underwater Ivy

May 28, 2014 by igetakickoutofyou

I’ve been feeling so guilty of late from my lack of posting, so I was delighted when I found Ivy Jacobsen’s paintings on Pinterest, they are so beautiful they just have to be shared. There’s a real sense of underwater tranquility – totally mesmerising! For some reason, perhaps due to the murky backdrops, “The Waterbabies” comes to mind. I’m just waiting for a little mermaid to pop out out of a giant Allium.

Soul Sanctuary

“It’s not about rules; it’s about soul”, says Alina Preciado, proud owner of this fabulous loft in Brooklyn. A former textile warehouse, this abode is now littered with trinkets, art and sculpture from around the world, creating a perfect artistic fusion between the loft’s industrial past and it’s bohemian present. Trish, this one’s for you….. Images Mark Seelen & Chris A Dorsey

Whitewash & Doodles

March 28, 2014 by igetakickoutofyou

I love this apartment in Madrid, belonging to photographer Manolo Yllera. You’d have to be pretty confident in your freestyle doodling to go to town on your walls though. But I guess thats what white paint is for – let the game’s begin! Images by Manolo Yllera

Sara Singh, H&M, Fashion Illustration

Illustration Inspiration

November 5, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I’m currently writing a feature on why fashion illustration is making a comeback in the industry and I have been digging and digging for all kinds of info. In fact, so much so, that my kitchen table is now littered with clippings, print outs, magazines and books. I don’t think I’m in the domestic good books right now! Anyway, I came across this great little video by H&M about illustrator Sara Singh and it’s pure inspiration for anyone wanting to […]

Industrial Windows

Set wide the window. Let me drink the day.

September 15, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

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 […]
