Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

Photo on left by Jonny Valiant via Apostrophe; Right by John Laurie

Nathan and I are desperately needing a vacation—the kind where you relax and recharge, eat well, and take a step back from life. I would love nothing more than to stay in a modern, relaxing house like the below residence (lovely photos by Misha Gravenor), or especially in the place photographed by Leslie Williamson.

As a side note, while I love the idea of this little guy floating on a lake, I am vehemently against swimming in water that I cannot see my toes in (this includes, but is not limited to: lakes, murky rivers, or muddy oceans), so the houseboat idea may be out. Houseboat photo by Magnus Selander.

Magnus Selander: Dark Floors + Hounds

Photos by Magnus Selander

There’s so much I love about these Magnus Selander photos, aside from just the really lovely photography, but I think it boils down to two things—dark floors and hounds.

I’m a huge fan of anything Eames and have loved our molded rocker from the very first day it arrived (the best gift from the best mother-in-law… of all times!), so this black one stands out and screams my name.  The photo on the right is everything I want in a floor since if all-white floors are not an option.  We redid our kitchen floors with the same dark finish and I absolutely adore them every time I walk around on them.  And that’s even with layers of dirt and filth!  ;)

Then there are these photos.  Oh Magnus, you had me the moment I laid eyes on this hound.  Look.  At.  Him.  While our hound cannot and will not sit, this one sits and immediately begs for your attention.  It also reminds me of a really interesting interview Nathan was telling me about a few days ago that speaks up on the ethics of breading.  While I definitely haven’t read enough to form a solid opinion, it does raise some really interesting questions, especially when it comes to inherited diseases.

I digress.  Bottom line, I’m really liking these photos by Magnus Selander—pretty great photographer!
