Rasterbating on a Saturday

Things are happening in my office. I have a large double sliding door cupboard that gives away the room's original purpose as a bedroom. So I rasterbated (or is that rasterized) this classic 60s b&w photo (At the Cavern Nightclub, Liverpool, 1963, by Lewis Morley) and popped it up. Popped is not the word. I had to blu-tack it because this is a rental and it took forever! The chair is my new thrifted office chair, a bargain at $10. The 70s light box coffee table I've had for a while. I'm going to upholster it in the last of my Sydney bus roll fabric. Not sure of the kilim I have on the floor at the moment. I love it to pieces even though it has badly faded on one side. I'll have to wait till the houndstooth modular suite comes back before I make up my mind. Where's my computer? Inside the cupboard. But that's a work in progress. Oh and I'm one row short in the photo so that still has to be fixed. Gotta love Saturdays when you get a decorating punch for pennies.

Some things from the 50's you've got to love...

...like the Chicago home of Jim and Kari. Jim found us through Blogger's "Blogs of note" section and thought we might like to see photos of the 50's home he and his wife are redoing. The photos he posted on his blog are so awesome I had to post them here. I am in the process of looking for a new home and if I came across something that looked like this I would drop dead (probably because I wouldn't be able to afford it). So here's a peek into Jim and Kari's modernized 50's pad.

Metallic paint frenzy

I received an email the other day from Romesh Naik, who introduced me to the interior design work of Marcel Prins. Marcel's photos on Flickr are very intriguing. The following are of a house in Munich with walls covered in 24 beautiful colours of metallic paint.

Jo and Kim together at last!

Here we are together at last ...... and this is where we’ll be from October 1 for the week. Yes we’re guest blogging on design*sponge! How exciting!!!! But don’t worry we’re gluttons for punishment. We’ll still be posting here for the week so it’ll be a double dose of desire to inspire. ( As Kim and I have never met I thought I’d draw us together. It’ll be a while before we can get together for a photograph!)

P.S. Kim's the one with the short hair.

Domaine des Andéols

I started the week with a holiday destination and I think after such a busy week here on the blog we should head off to a new relaxation spot. This time we're booking in to Domaine des Andéols. This village of chic guest houses in the heart of Provence. The nine houses of the Domaine des Andéols are all different, all exquisite. This format doesn't do the hotel-villa complex justice. Feast your eyes and imagination by checking out the website.

Bedroom to die for

So I have just come across what is now one of my favourite bedrooms EVER. Erin Loechner of design for mankind left a link to pics of her bedroom on one of my recent posts and I was blown away. Black and white done to perfection. And then she had to go and stick her totally adorable dog in one of the photos. So of course I had to post it. Amazingly enough, she was debating whether to post photos of her home. (???!!!) Erin, if your bedroom looks this good PUHLEEEEEASE post photos of the rest of your home!!!

Cute factor

How do you make a good photo GREAT? Add an animal and you increase the cute factor by a zillion percent. As most of you know, I am a sucker for animals, and beautifully decorated rooms. This post includes both.

SPG Architects

SPG Architects, based out of New York, is a twelve-person team of super-talented individuals. This firm has been awarded and published numerous times, and their design philosophy speaks volumes: "The designs are defined not by the 'minimalist' inclination to eliminate visible function from space, nor by the desire to expose the workings of a building. SPG's work clearly presents a visual consistency based on human proportions, the exploitation of light, and the judicious use of materials that provide singular tactile and visual experiences".

Zebra rug

My love for zebra rugs has existed for some time now, as I mentionned in a previous post. I'm talking FAUX zebra. Real zebra would be VERY WRONG. I have never owned a zebra rug but would so love to get my hands on one (or three). I love anything graphic and black/white is my favourite colour combination so zebra rugs are right up my alley. Here are spaces that...*sigh*...include a lovely zebra rug.

This photo I had to include because the rug, while not zebra, is incredible in this space.

Private oasis

Another beauty for sale in my home town. Unimposing from the street it has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, pool, spa and water features galore. There is a snag. It's for sale by negotiation. Sure sign that it's way out of my league.
