No need to tell you how much I want this book, I’m sure you want it just as much, right? Written by the fabulous Holly Becker (and Joanna Copestick), with photography by my all time favorite Debi Treloar, Decorate book is definitely a piece to look forward to! I literally cannot wait anymore to put my hands on a copy, I’m simply trying not to think of it now so I can hang on little longer. Here are some teaser pictures:
Pia Jane Bijkerk interior styling
Hello, dears! For this Monday’s inspiration I chose to feature a super-talented interior stylist and photographer who travels (and lives) back and forth between Sydney, Paris and Amsterdam – Pia Jane Bijkerk! Her blog was a source of inspiration to me for a long time as her photography is beyond gorgeous and her style is what can be called rustic-meets-vintage-meets-French-meets-all-things-beautiful! Her work appeared in famous shelter magazines such as Elle Interior, Vogue Living, Home Beautiful, Traditional home and others. Recently Pia launched her professional website and I couldn’t help but blog about it. If you seek for a dose of prettiness to put you in a creative mood for this week, then enjoy this post!
Photographer Magnus Anesund
And again we’re at this – amazing Swedish talents. I’m so in love with photographer Magnus Anesund, I feel like I want to jump as high as I can. His work is uber inspiring, I might just get an overdose right now. He can make look chic a white, minimalistic space just the same as a colorful or even dramatic one. I tell you, his photography skills are enviable and as much as I admire such a talent, I’m slightly jealous :)
Mikkel Vang Photography
It’s such a delight to flip through my bookmarks, you know? After a long day, I finally come home, have dinner, grab my laptop and dive into the HUGE list of bookmarks I’ve saved throughout my blogging experience. Bookmarks of sites that made me gasp, smile, be mesmerized and inspired all at once. Today was no exception and while scrolling and checking my bookmarks I came across this great photographer, Mikkel Vang! Perhaps you already know about him as his work appeared in famous shelter magazines such as Vogue Living, Elle Decoration, Harpers Bazaar and more. I loved Mikkel’s work mainly because of the stunning balance seen in his photography: chic extravaganza and a livable ambiance, airy light places against dark, very dramatic ones. And it all felt perfectly good, with no exceeded limits.
{Gorgeous} Photography by Miki Duisterhof
Today while going through my multiple and very inspiring bookmarks I came across a name which caught my eye and spoke to me, whispering a tempting ‘stop’. I’m sure this happened to you at some point, right? Well, you won’t believe how mesmerized I was when I clicked on the category ‘Interiors’. All the pictures were right up my alley, very shabby chic, romantic and even feminine – and what else can a girl ask for after a working day :)? So the magic name is Miki Duisterhof and she’s a photographer, a fabulous one (just wait to see her clients: West Elm, William Sonoma, Veranda and many, many others!). Seriously, I was hypnotized by all that beauty! Here’s what I’m talking about:
Miha Matei Photography
I’m more and more in love with Romanian artists and creative minds. First I must mention Freshome, a fabulous site about interior design (last week I found out that the founder of the site lives not so far away from me – exciting!), today I read about Mario Badescu, who is also from Romania, known worldwide for his line of skin care products and now Miha Matei, a talented photographer born in Romania, now living in New York and Los Angeles with her husband and son. In Miha’s portfolio I found pictures which were in my inspiration files since forever, yet I never knew that they were taken by her, like the below picture which can be seen in the post about Ashe+Leandro Interiors. Miha’s photography is stunning and her portfolio is one of those which you want to fully take from her site and just put it on your blog, it’s that good!
Stefan Thurmann Photography
Stefan Thurmann is a Hamburg-based photographer who takes some seriously wonderful pictures! Of course his work wouldn’t be the same without the brilliant stylists he’s working with, but nonetheless his eye catches the beauty of what he’s shooting, far beyond what we all see. In Stefan’s portfolio you’ll see calming, neutral rooms, with cozy blankets and wood all over, as well as some other shoots, more contrasting and stylishly edgy. His work was published in many magazines and without teasing you more, here are few pictures from Stefan’s portfolio which appealed to me the most!
Monique Germon – Designer, Stylist and Photographer
Hello everyone! Have you heard of Monique Germon? No? That’s alright, I haven’t heard of her either until now, so I knew I must introduce Monique to all of you! The title of this post says everything actually – she’s a designer, stylist, photographer, writer and art director (quite impressive, right?). She lives in Australia and has a background in classical singing, piano & extensive travel. Monique now works as a creative professional on various projects focusing mainly on design, writing & photography and her style is all about charm and whimsy – sounds perfectly attractive as I always thought that a good slice of relaxed humor makes art even more stunning and catchy. Here’s some of Monique’s work, but on her site and blog you’ll find much more, so go ahead, check it out!
Alexandra Grablewski Photography
Hi everyone! Today is one of those days when you need lots of eye-candy images to get inspired of and indulge your eyes with, just crucial for your well-being. Yes, a productive-but-oh-so-exhausting day has hit me today and to relax, but still feel like I’m the blogger who’ll inspire you or just bring up some seriously pretty pictures to enjoy, I want to brighten up your day! I couldn’t do it by myself, so I got a wee help from Alexandra Grablewski and her calm and adorable photography (remember when I blogged about the yumminess she’s shooting?). She has an aesthetic to admire and sense of style to be envy on. That was a joke, no envy! So now, please get your dose of beautiful photography and make your day better!
Happy weekend!
Lovely friends, I want to wish you a fabulous weekend, find some time to relax and enjoy a breezy weather with lots of sunshine in & out! I’m leaving you now with some beautiful pictures from the Mary Ruffle tumblr – that place is a treasure as it has so many amazingly wonderful and so inspiring pictures! I’m signing off until Monday! Stay cool, friends! xoxo, Ludmila
