‘Inspiration’

Inside Out Magazine

To fuel my obsession with homes of artists, designers and photographers, from Inside Out magazine…

All of these are styled by Elodie Rambaud, and the bottom two are photographed by Nick Bowers. I wish the magazine kept an online gallery because the one issue I picked up is full of great stuff!

Happy Weekend… I’m off to Chicago!

More Marie Claire Maison

Again… I’m fascinated with the bit-o-red. Maire Claire Maison. And also love the home below… I would kill for a fireplace like that!

More Red

Not sure why all of a sudden I’m into bits of red here and there (maybe Valentine’s Day?), but I love this home from Marie Claire Maison. I also adore that blanket!

Mari Eriksson

A bit on the country side, but still thought her pictures were nice and cozy. Inspiration by Mari Eriksson

I’m looking forward to this weekend… it’s been an exhausting week. First we bought a car after ours bit the dust (we’re a one car family). Then my grandma passed away (today would have been her 92nd birthday!), which was good in that she’s no longer suffering, but sad nonetheless. She was the artist in the family—painting, drawing, china-painting, and I have great memories of bringing my sketchbook over to her apartment and sitting and drawing with her. Miss you grandma.

Philippe Harden

Hope to get more work done on our house in the coming weeks… until then, more inspiration from Philippe Harden’s loft, via Marie Claire Maison:

Lighting

I’m still obsessed with these type of lights, and since we’re currently finishing up our *office* (back room), I’m in search of these (at a reasonable price, and preferably old… not likely though).

Jamo Associates (via desire to inspire):

And by the way, I’ll take that whole office in exchange for ours. Who wouldn’t?

Barbara Bestor

Barbara Bestor put together one of my all-time favorite house books… Bohemian Modern: Living in Silver Lake. Love. It. The thing about it is all the houses look lived in… I hate looking at magazines or books with images of homes that look too perfect or too pristine to ever be anyone’s real home. This one pictured is my favorite house in the book.

Amy Butler’s Studio

I love, love Amy Butler’s studio. White walls, old wooden floors, well-worn objects, what’s not to love. I’m interested to check out her new book Midwest Modern, both because I love her studio space and her fabrics (me being in the Midwest is just a bonus… I’m not sure how, but I feel somehow it is). :)
