I came across Melanie el Hadda’s beautiful Moroccan website/shop El Ramla Hamla as well as her inspiring blog Lifestyle from Amsterdam to Marrakech. She has just launched her first e-catalogue filled with these beautifully styled images. Love it and I must somehow get my hand on those tiles! All photos via Melanie el Hadda’s blog [...]

If Frida Kahlo had a subtle, understated alter ego, she would have created this house. Perhaps it is the design aesthetic of its inhabitants that speaks to the writer in me. Whatever the factor might be, I find that this house resonates very deeply with me. It stays true to its character in a very [...]

When the budget has constraints due to global economic instability that doesn’t mean creativity has to suffer for it.

The concrete beauty of Liss Springthorpe’s home first came to my attention when it was featured in Issue 68 of Elle Deco South Africa.

The renovation of her Victorian home is a testament to her great sense of style and one that I would gladly reproduce in my own home. Still running with the Morocan theme this week on Urban [...]

I first saw Kathryn Tyler’s Cornwall home more than a year ago on an episode of Grand Designs and immediately fell in love with every brick of it. If I had and open plot of land I would shamelessly duplicate this Scandinavian inspired architecture and interior. The interior space is well curated with mid century [...]
