Don't know quite what it was, but something (or a bunch of somethings) I looked at this morning on my internet travels reminded me of this room...and just how much I loved it.



Markham Roberts' NY apartment. From Domino Mag version 1.0 way back in Dec 2008.

I discovered the work of Rafael de Cárdenas this morning through the Dering Hall website...and I'm in lust!

This lovely New York loft is another that's been percolating in the back of my mind of late. I love the colours...I wouldn't mind doing something along these lines with the industrial space we are currently living in (although I WISH our ceilings were that high!). Designed by legendary Sydney based firm Burley Katon Halliday for an Aussie expat in NYC.

Funnily enough, our walls are a similar colour to this (although perhaps more of a mushroom), and our sofa is very similar to this...








This apartment was published in both Elle Decor and Vogue Living a few years ago, so I think these pics are a mix from both.

Its funny how you can kinda like a space on first viewing, but its then filed away somewhere in your subconscious, and after it has time to percolate, upon a second viewing just looks crazy amazing? Well this townhouse in NYC by Rees Roberts is one of those places. For me anyway. I love the dramatic colours in the dining room (and how great are those upholstered Prouvé dining chairs?), and the contrast of the light ethereal colours in the living space. So beautiful. I'm also kinda digging that pink tiger pattern on those footstools. The colours in that room come together so well I'm finding it rather inspiring.

OK, I admit it, these pics are a repeat of a post I did back in July last year...but as it was just published in the latest Architectural Digest with some new images, I just couldn't help myself. The New York apartment of Claire Weiss was designed by Rees Roberts, and I agree with the owner, it is indeed sublime. The colours are a lot crisper in these images, and the mural which I hadn't really noticed before is in full view now. And on second viewing, it still makes my heart skip a beat.

My husband and I have recently been thinking about converting some warehouse space to live in, and while I'm obsessing over how I would furnish it, I was reminded of this amazing duplex loft apartment in New York that is the home of architect/designer James Mohn and his partner. The space was published back in the Feb/March 2004 edition of Elle Decor, but its been firmly planted in the back of my mind ever since. The high ceilings and sheer amount of light is definitely appealing, but they've used the space so perfectly I think. Plus, I'm in love with the artwork and their furniture...

This, just in case y'all were wondering, is what I've been obsessing over this week (wouldn't want to leave you hanging!). Orlando Diaz-Azcuy fabulousness from Veranda magazine. Add a dash of colour and I could move right on in.

I think my heart almost skipped a beat when I saw these images of a recent project by NY based firm Rees Roberts + Partners. The firm's website has been recently updated and contains all manner of loveliness. I love the clean lines and elegant simplicity in this apartment. I'm hoping to move apartments soon, and I only wish it was to a place that looked like this! *sigh*

Looks like another of my favorite design firms, Shelton & Mindel, has updated their website recently. I am totally lusting after this place which looks like a new addition to their portfolio. I must sound like a broken record...BUT this place does have great bones. And its full of great furniture. Period architecture mixed with 20th Century icons - they do it so well. I want...or at least a small Hong Kong sized version ;)
