The difference between the chandeliers by Michael McHale Designs and other chandeliers is the materials. While the dripping crystals on...
WE ARE BACK with our Design History series, and this week, we’re taking a closer look at an essential material in modern manufacturing and construction: stainless steel.
THE INSTAGRAM algorithm seems to think that we love all things Scandinavian at the moment, and perhaps we do. That's how we came across Finnish social media content creator Metti Forssell (@mettiforssell) for this instalment of 10 IMAGES. We hadn't known of her before, but we love her penchant for chubby furniture and boiserie, chevron flooring and chandeliers; coffee and pastries on marble tables, shrimp pasta, bouclé chairs and more...
ON SATURDAY we stopped by the Farmers Market on Maple. It only happens once a month, and since we only moved here in the first week of May, we missed that one. It was charming and lively and there were dogs everywhere and stalls selling topiaries and Scotch eggs, craft beer and handmade soap, and oysters and Prosecco.
WE HAVE been out of town for the past three days, and there's something about taking time away from work that's refreshing. When we returned home yesterday evening, I was ready to get to work, fresh from a break from routine. The time away also made me think about my home office set-up⏤things that are working and things that could be improved, and so I searched around for some inspiration.
This instalment of Things We Lovely Lately includes, as always, a collection of beautiful finds from our travels around the internets, including this stunningly serene upstairs bedroom, above, in the home of Rose Uniacke; the most artfully created paper flowers by two British paper flower artists; this season's favourite ad campaigns featuring Emily Ratajkowski for Miu and Miu and Ryan Gosling for Gucci and more⏤here's what has been inspiring us lately ...
LA POSTA VECCHIA is a five-star luxury boutique hotel located in the coastal town of Ladispoli, about forty minutes outside of Rome on the historic Via Aurelia, a Roman road that was constructed in approximately 241 BC. House in a 17th-century villa and surrounded by 15 acres of Italianate gardens, the hotel overlooks the Tyrrenean sea and shares a coastline with villas and castles, small towns and beach clubs ...
BITS AND PIECES of this quintessential English countryside cottage have been featured here before (without us realising that they were all from the same place) because Charlotte's Folly, as this Shropshire cottage is known, ticks all the boxes of the things we love lately: Stripes and Garden Rooms; Blue and Pinkish Brown; and of course, using Curtains Instead of Cupboards ...
ON WEDNESDAY of last week, while in a book shop, discovered a new little photo book by a photographer named Steven Ahlgren called The Office (Hoxton Mini Press), which essentially began when the author was a disenchanted banker working in an office in Minneapolis. Inspired by a 1940 painting by Edward Hooper titled, Office at Night, which he would view frequently at the Walker Art Center, Ahlgren decided to leave office life behind to become a photographer. The photos, taken over a ten-year period between 1982-1992, chronicle a view of corporate life that can either be seen as tragic and sad, or heartfelt and thoughtful, depending on your own experiences with this world ...
BEFORE Kerri Lipsitz began decorating homes, she worked in fasion PR. Her current flat in Primrose Hill, bought in 2017 and spread over two floors of a Victorian terrace, is an example of her transition from fashion into interior design.
THIS WEEK'S DÉCOR inspiration is furniture seller-turned-interior designer Juniper Tedhams's Chelsea townhouse, located in the lower two floors of an Italianate-style building dating back to the 1850s. The ground floor used to be her shop, then her interior design office ...
WE MAY BE ON social media a lot less these days, but when we are, we try to use the time to find only the best in food, travel, fashion, and interiors, like these sumptuously chic spaces from @rizzolibooks on Instagram. There are grand hotel rooms with ornate boiserie and crystal chandeliers; ceiling beams and grand exposed brick fireplaces; velvet, linen and marble and warm carved wood; the most stunning outdoor terrace at Villa Paradiso in Genova, Italy and much more...
WE HAPPENED UPON The Sparrow Hotel on Victoria's Secret model Elsa Hosk's Instagram feed, the warm pink walls, marble fireplace and crystal chandelier drawing us in to take a closer look. Located in a restored fin de siècle building by Stureplan, Stockholm's landmark square, the 73-room 4-star boutique hotel is right in the city centre. Humlegårdsparken park is nearby, and Djurgården, with its museums and cafés is just a walk away.
IN THE SECOND week of May, just after the Bank Holiday, we decided to spend some time back in London. We normally visit several times a year, but since 2020 was the year of the Great Lockdown, the last time we had been was the May previously to meet up with a friend from Spain—it was hot then and perfect for traipsing about. P had heard that there would be a heat wave this time around
