VOL.01
I found photographs of this house from a Hungarian blog (don’t ask) but even with the help of an internet translator, there was absolutely no information about it; no name, no location, except for the mistaken assumption that it was in Paris. A fair bit of research later (just call me GoogleGirl) and I’d finally found [...]
Kitschy design is being reproduced so much these days you can’t really tell if something is actually retro anymore. But what about the original retro homes that didn’t change with the fashion and stayed exactly the same since the day they were built when kitschy living was the future? MessyNessy did some digging on Retro [...]
It’s Friday afternoon and there’s nothing really left to talk about except cocktail hour, now is there? And at the end of a long work week, what could be more rewarding than fixing yourself a cocktail in your very own home bar? I couldn’t help but notice that retro style bars in all shapes and [...]
I‘m in a decorating mood! Le boyfriend is currently nesting for his new apartment and I just love tagging along on his expeditions for the perfect accents and finishing touches. Here are some items I’m currently lusting over (if only all of them were in budget)… 1. Marni Chairs Handmade in San Gil, Colombia by [...]
A little inspiration (ideas to steal) for those lucky enough to have al fresco spaces and looking to do a bit of sprucing up for summer. No matter what size your balcony/ patio / terrace is, take some notes for making your space as inviting as can be, even if there’s only room for you! [...]
If you trawl the internet and its design blogs as much as I do, you might have already come across this wall art trend that seems to be happening. I’ve finally discovered the company behind most of it, with their clever faux headboards that I’ve been eyeing and various other creative graphics for walls around the [...]
Warning: This post may cause severe temporary displacement. The Chateau Moissac, a seventeenth-century noble family’s home nestled in the hilltops of haute Provence is nothing short of dreamy. I thought it was necessary to show you every available photograph this French baroque residence to make sure you really get the idea of just how great it [...]
Just when I think I’ve seen the tiniest studio apartments in Paris making efficient use of every last inch of space, some interior design blog or sneaky little Pinterest photograph sends me back to the drawing board with a new physics-defying way of making the most out of living in a small space. 1. The [...]
Last week we took a look at the Flinstone’s house up for sale in California, and this week, I’ve stumbled upon another amazing cave house, this time, it’s embedded in the Swiss Alps and more suited to James Bond than Fred Flinstone… The only reason Bjarne Mastenbroek and Christian Müller, from the architecture firms SeARCH [...]
The Flinstones Save Christmas is definitely in my top ten favorite childhood movies of all time, so you can imagine how excited I was to come across these pictures of a Flinstone’s-inspired home in Malibu. The house up for sale belongs to legendary TV host Dick Clark– the Ryan Seacrest of his day, and has an [...]
