Meteorologically speaking, we're in the final month of spring, but time has got away from us and we never had the chance to fully appreciate this season that comes before our favourite.

CLEARLY still in our concrete design phase here at TIG, for everything we happen across made of this seemingly lowly material catches our eye. This week, it’s the Möbius House, a residential building located in Het Gooi, Netherlands.
RECENTLY we featured a few Beautiful Powder Rooms for Springtime, which included stripes and tiles, and of course, dramatic marble. For this week's Tuesday Two, we're highlighting two especially chic bathrooms with a focus on marble.
IT WAS THE shell-encrusted powder room (above) belonging to art dealer William Thuillier and lampshade maker Alvaro Picardo in Pimlico featured in the World Of Interiors that first caught our eye. Somehow, after that, we began seeing them everywhere.
A gallery wall is a collection of artwork or photographs displayed together on a wall in a cohesive manner, often arranged in a grid or other pattern. Gallery walls can be used to display a variety of items, such as family photos, paintings, prints, or other types of art. They can be used to create a focal point in a room, or to add visual interest to a space.
THIS INSTALMENT of Style File features model Sara Ramén, who was born in Australia to a Swedish father and a French mother. She credits her heritage for her affinity with these cultures, despite growing up in Perth. Ramén began travelling on her own around the world as a model in her late-teens with Marilyn Agency and Storm Models, living many different places, including Paris, London and Sydney.
WHILE we often discuss the downside of social media, it can sometimes still be a great place to find inspiration. For instance, we recently came across this calm and sophisticated London home belonging to a wellness entrepreneur and writer.
LAST WEEK was the official start of springtime here in the Northern Hemisphere, which means spring cleaning for many of us. You may be cleaning and organising your closets: sorting through your clothes, donating or selling items you no longer wear, and re-organising what's left. You may be deep cleaning your home: washing windows, cleaning carpets, dusting and wiping down surfaces, and scrubbing floors.
LAST WEEK we made the case for why you should create a gallery wall in your home, and this week we'll be discussing how to go about this project, with the help of a few tips and tricks. While building a gallery wall can be a creative process, like with anything, it can benefit from a few guidelines. We've listed a few of the most important considerations below and included a few inspirational photos and shopping links to help you get started ...
THREE YEARS ago, we featured the country home of photographer Laura Muthesius and stylist Nora Eisermann, both from the blog, Our Food Stories. It was a cosy mid-century kitchen that overlooked the ocean in the Skåne area of the Swedish countryside. This home is a former schoolhouse located in a village north-east of Berlin that has been in Laura's family since she was a child.
IT HAS BEEN quite a while since we covered the Met Gala⏤its over-the-top theatrical displays are not often our thing. But, Anne Hathaway (above) looked stunning in Versace, enough to make us take a look at what others were wearing that night. This year’s dress code was “in honour of Karl.”

“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive.” ―Ernest Hemingway
