Soul Sanctuary

April 3, 2014 by igetakickoutofyou

“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

Lessons in Still-Life (Vignette)

August 30, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

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 […]

Natural Character

May 24, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

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)

Industrial Luxe

March 6, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Last year some friends and I had a grand plan to go to La Braderie, the biggest flea market in Europe. As often happens, life got in the way and it never happened. Now, with the imminent start of our extension, I am really wishing we had gone – particularly after seeing this incredible kitchen – full of La Braderie finds: (Images: Pascal Francois, Elle Decoration) The salvage pieces range from factory floor tiles, used as a splashback, and a […]

Winter Whites

December 11, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

January Elle Decoration is a must-read this month. It’s packed with white washed walls and floors, pale woods and decorative finds. Not surprisingly most from Copenhagen. The photoshoot that really caught my eye was the home of Susanne Rutzou. You’ve probably come across her clothing line, Rutzou, at places like Anthropologie. I love the way the colours flow throughout the home. It’s a real lesson in decorating your house as a unit, instead of decorating room by room: Photography Heidi Lerkenfeldt […]

Furry Friends & Flea Market Finds

September 27, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Cleo Charuet lives in Paris with her cat and several other furry friends – Francois, the Zebra and Brodovitch, the rabbit, to name but a few, only they’re stuffed! Yes, taxidermy is the new art. Framed in her incredible Napoleonic apartment they really don’t look out of place. “Some are shocked by my animal collection but other people collect camembert boxes and no-one asks questions!” I’m not sure it’s a trend I’ll be going down though – might frighten the […]

Clare Basler, Flower Portraits, Paris Workshop

Flower House

May 14, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Nestled in the outskirts of Paris, is this wonderful workshop. An artisan home which feels like it’s evolved from the Eden Project. Here, it’s difficult to see where art begins and functional living ends. Both are caught up in a meadow of flowers. How refreshing to wake up here? The former iron-works belong to Clare Basler. Her beautiful flowered panels litter the walls making it difficult to distinguish what is greenery from the outside and what is inside, what is […]
