Be still my beating heart! So beautiful, so vibrant. New and exclusive to Designer Rugs is the Easton Pearson collection. Brisbane-based and internationally renowned fashion designers Lydia Pearson and Pamela Easton have brought their passion for textiles and design to a new medium, these gorgeous rugs.
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.
I’d like to introduce you to my new photographer crush. He’s French and his work is hot! His name is Bruno Suet. Simple compositions and clear even light ensure that each room appears centre stage, in the spotlight. Like the modern rooms he has captured here his work appears deceptively simple but is actually complex. These spaces look you square in the face and say here I am and I’m raw, I’m vital. Don’t miss his exhibition portfolio on his website. It’s ethereal and so beautiful. http://b.suet.free.fr/
Lara Fishman founded her design firm Storm Interiors in 2000. Located in Los Angeles, her firm has had a variety of projects – executive offices, residences, restaurants, medical offices etc. Traditional, rustic, regency, old Hollywood, contemporary….no style seems off limits to Lara and her team. The icing on the cake would have to be Lara’s secondary firm, Designers Call, founded on the philosophy that high-end interior design should be accessible to those without the budgets or time for the traditional design process. Lara converted a Mercedes/Dodge Sprinter into a mobile design studio in order to bring fast, affordable decorating services and design products straight to her clients’ homes. Genius! Here’s a small taste of some of the beautiful spaces in her portfolios.
Here’s something i find really interesting…..
We were fairly impressed with the tasteful, if not a little sedate, new digs of the Gawker team shown above. All that leather and metal says “we’re serious, seriously!” But to be honest, I’d much rather work at the offices of Google Zurich, where “serious” seems to be subjective:
From a creative environment comes creative ideas (well, also starting off with a world class talented team). And I say this coming from the most uninspiring offices of a toy company prior to joining AT, where each day surrounded by the drab surroundings of Office Space appointments almost guaranteed creative lethargy. There’s nothing worse than offices designed by the pages of office catalogs, especially for those who depend upon creativity. Kudos to Google for recognizing this.
