This blog was started so that we could share our favourite inspirational design photos with you, and we would like to give you the opportunity to share yours with us as well. This is what we need you to do. We welcome links to great design sites or photos, but links are preferred so our inboxes don't fill up. If sending photos, please clearly state the name of your source whether magazine (and date if you have it), book (include author’s name and publisher) or website. Also please include your name so we can give you the credit, and a link to your site if you have one. The more information we have the more valuable this resource will become. There that was easy wasn’t it? Please remember that we cannot post if your photo is not adequately sourced. Now let’s have fun!

Eclectic



Tom Scheerer practices what he calls relaxed modernism. I call it inspiration. His mix of periods and styles is restrained but masterful. Check out his website. It's well worth the browse.

My love for all things black and white

I absolutely adore all things black and white and I figured I'd let you all know this right off the bat. Because then you'll understand why I often suggest that if you don't like something, paint it black or white. Spray paint is a godsend. Glossy spray paint in particular. So here's some photos of black and white dining rooms (my dining room is mainly black and white - wished it looked as amazing as these though!).

Retro chic or how to never grow old


Belle Magazine

I admit it, I'm addicted to retro. Sometimes I call it mid century (when it's refined and well designed). Other times it's just plain kitsch (when it's my aunt's 50's ceramic cat collection). Whatever my mood I love it. But I'm not a slave to it. Carefully edited with other pieces it holds its own.


All photos from Belle magazine

Can't help it. I love mid century madness.

WELCOME!!!!!!!


Domino Magazine

Welcome to our blog! Or as we hope with time your blog as well. desire to inspire came about when 2 women on either side of the world found they had something in common – an addiction to photos of beautiful rooms. Jo is an Interior Designer from Brisbane, Australia and Kim is a design junkie and Web Developer from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We met in the now defunct but still legendary Rooms I *heart* Flickr group. This little gem was the idea of design blog leading light Holly of decor8. Her idea inspired us to share with you our love of beautifully designed rooms of all kinds. And we want you to share your favourite rooms with us. So let’s start the way we want to continue, with lots of luscious rooms.
