i like: james merrell

big fan of photographer james merrell and whoever he uses as a prop stylist.







i like: trine thorsen

trine thorsen is a norway-based interior, fashion, lifestyle, and landscape photographer i recently discovered, and thoroughly enjoy.

here are some of my favorite sets from her reel:



i like: tattersall love

enjoying some nice web surfing today on the site of a photographer, stylist & location management company based in london, who represent some talented folks...

tattersall love represents some beautiful locations for photo/film rentals throughout the uk and europe.
i adore the vibe in this set, taken in their
st stephens home.

just enough kitsch to stay perfectly inside adorable.
taken by photographer sean meyers.


i love the mix of colors and patterns so much, and how the contrasts keep the boldness of the walls from running away with the room.
this taken by photographer ruy teixeira.



something about a simple touch of pink...
this is shot in one of tattersall's rental locations, marney road
.


i love the dark wood floors, the well-loved sofa, and that amazing danish slatted chair.
this is their greenwood road home.

i like: cuban living

these shots of a breathtaking cuban home come from a collection of photographs by michael eastman, an architectural photographer i dig.


i dream of recreating this look for a client's home...


another one for the books. now this is a bathroom i could primp in.



the soothing seafoam melts into a dream rug, and connects the colors in the most perfect way... the simplicity of each of the pieces and their skewed placement seem so right.

i shoot: beautiful budapest

the next stop of my journey was budapest, where every step unveiled a new stunning example of how they don't make it like they used to.



the "great market hall" on the pest end of liberty bridge is a stunning sight. local vendors sell fresh fruits & veggies, and handcrafted souvenirs.


the view from the buda side to pest

dorothy was our gracious guide. here we are walking across the danube along the chain bridge




built in 1894, the 3rd-oldest metro in europe runs beneath the streets of budapest. this rounded maple door along line 1 stands about 3 feet tall.


ceiling of a metro stop. different line, way less old than above, but equally as cool looking.

dorothy enjoying leek soup from a great bowl


we stayed in zsofie's home in the hungarian hills. the envigorating shade of blue in my room was just what i needed to wake me up after a long night of spritzers at the ludwig museum. aside from my pile of travel goodies, the rooms' well-selected and precicely-hung art is complimented with just the right accidental bits.

my camera had died, and this iphone shot of the iconic hungarian kitchen doesn't do justice, but i had to include it.

i shoot: parisian inspiration

i just returned from an amazing adventure in europe. my first stop was paris. i saw so many incredible things...


my lovely french friend marine has amazing taste


i tried to resist the trite "door tour of europe", but the contrast of colors were just too good...


fell in love with looking up in eddy's bathroom



lunch



my home for the weekend



obviously had to take some deep breaths full of spring tulips at notre dame


some call it graffiti...



even the metro stops are works of art


i like: home sweet home

i stumbled across this photo on a strangers' site, who i can't help but love for his similarly impeccable taste.

no matter where the road takes me, it will lead me somewhere just like this...

here goes something...

this blog is meant to become a collection of photos of things i enjoy, mostly surrounding the world of interior design.

i will also do a bit of ebay and craigslist hunting in an effort to help sift through the shit to find some gems for anyone who may enjoy cashing in on my picks.


probably i will get off track, but essentially that's my goal.

ideas and questions encouraged. advice and opinions given with a little expertise, but mostly instinct.
