Remember the St Kilda home? Oh my where do I begin to describe the residential work of Steven Whiting? I can start by saying his commercial work is great but his residential portfolio is delicious. It’s like gorging on a magical mix of contemporary with midcentury references, classic bones and modern riffs. It’s spare but concise, painstakingly designed to look effortless. Truly inspirational. All are going into my style files to steal, sorry reference at a later date! Desire to inspire Blog…fantastic!!

When I first found Tim Clinch’s portfolio last year I was taken by the way he captured the essence of the European homes in his photographs. You could almost feel the warm summer breeze in the south of France, hear insects throbbing in the olive trees, smell the coffee wafting from the local cafe. He has an uncanny ability to transport you to another world, a romantic world, a chic getaway for daydreaming. The new shots on his website have me dreaming all over again. from Design to Inspire blog

I absolutely adore the home of model An Oost and her boyfriend. It’s a mansion in Ghent, Belgium that they run as a bed & breakfast. It’s got great bones, and I am smitten with all the classic mid-century found throughout and the quirky touches like one orange doorway and a beanbag chair in the bathroom.

Alex Perry, Australian fashion designer, has created a new range for Designer Rugs. It’s high end fashion with lashings of Greek references. Perry is of Greek heritage after all. These are so rock and roll glam. Statement pieces no doubt. I want I need.
