Shootfactory is a unique site I happened upon recently which connects filmmakers and photographers to amazing places for their shoots. I had a hard time narrowing it down to these favorite images- I’m sure you’ll agree that every single place is worthy of a fantasy movie-life to inhabit it. They have a little of everything …
My heart is skipping a beat with each image! I’m still trying to link words to this aesthetic that I love so much- a juxtaposition of new and old, light and dark… perfect balance of minimal and natural. My heart aches with the beauty of it. The sparsity and loveliness of the furniture, the attention …
These are some of the most elegant solutions I have ever seen and I’m dying to use them. This video wowed me so I had to share. The video features Ron Barth of Resource Furniture and the company’s amazingly innovative furniture.
Even though the closest I get to being prima ballerina is the New York City Ballet Workout, I love to watch ballet and learn from the discipline and the grace of the amazing dancers and remember my short time taking ballet as a young girl. I recently enjoyed the documentary Ballerina by Bertrand Normand. And …
This is a beautiful short video- lots of atmospheric light and dark, shadows and suggestions. Memories, faint stories. Sometimes it can be ominous to enter an abandoned place, but sometimes it is wondrous to imagine the people, places and things of the past. Seeing it all in the stark contrast of black and white makes …
She’s been in all the big magazines, she was inducted into the Interior Design Hall of Fame, and been consistently amazing for 20 years. And so Victoria Hagan is today’s featured designer! Commence reveling… now.
Denver-based interior designer Mikhail Dantes recently unveiled his 4,000 square foot remodel in Elle Decor and I absolutely love it. Dantes collaborated with architect Scott Parker to transform the 1950s ranch house into his pristine new retreat. He basically tore everything out except the fireplace which he kept because of codes which restrict building a …
I’ve always been really inspired by European architecture, especially Scandinavian, and lately Scottish and Irish. While exploring this fascination I found a great resource, ScottishArchitecture.com and I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite images culled from that site. What is your favorite country or region for architecture & design inspiration? …
This exterior by A-Cero just speaks to me. I love the hard lines of concrete and unexpected angles. The interior is pretty amazing as well, though just a little too minimal for my taste. I love the architecture as is, but I’d spice it up with a little more furniture, texture and color. …
First constructed in 1754, Raven Row is now an art museum which opened in 2009 in east London. Previously two adjoining houses built for Huguenot silk merchants and an office building built in 1972, the buildings were ravaged by fire in the 1950s and again in the 70s. 6a Architects have revived the building and …
There is a certain integrity of some materials and methods that make their simplicity extra beautiful. Concrete, metal, wood and glossy or just smooth white and black materials are my favorite as you might have noticed. Methods of building that expose the joinery, or reveal the workings are the most honest, and the most fascinating. …
I love this house in the Swiss Alps, renovated byFormzone. The way the clean white pairs with rustic stone… my heart skips a beat.

My new roommate who is also an Interior Designer is totally inspiring me to shake things up, add more color, and have more fun! I have a whole new hope of making our place great. Up until now, I’ve been resigned to the fact that we don’t have enough money to have things the way …
