designer inspiration.....jessica helgerson

Jessica Helgerson kept popping up.  I'm sure its happened to you too, you love a whole lot of images and realise later they are all by the same person.  I love that her designs look lux, but not precious, layered without to much polish.  And of all her images I love, these ones of her holiday home Tiny House are my favourite.  This is my dream retreat.

A few favourite things, its tiny - one room across and only a few rooms long - but it looks full of space.
It cost less than $400k to build - wow!  It has a green roof (moss & ferns) - high on my dream list.  
It has a loft bedroom - dibs on that! - and built in bunks.
It has a library - no computers or tv in sight!
Its white, its bright, its simple, its perfect.  I want one...All photos by Lincoln Barbour via Jessica Helgerson.

Designer inspiration.....leibowitz and mclachlan

Leibowitz and Mclachlan design have been featured before, but I am never tired of these images.  

I love the effortless mood they create.  Beautiful pieces, worn & antique, new and found, groupings of lovely objects.  Neither to much or to little.

I think I could live here and it would always look this good, not just when the stylist has been.

That's what I want to create, a real space that lives as beautifully and effortlessly as it looks.

Danish home magic.....& tree trunk table diy

Loving the soft gray fireplace wall, and the beads hanging off the horns.  I want something similar for my black bathroom wall.  I did want a skull but perhaps horns are less confronting.

The tree trunk coffee table on casters is genius!  I will be keeping my eyes peeled for a tree that has been blown over or is being taken down.   It will be a great excuse for The Voice of Reason to get out his chainsaw.
