Stella in Scotland

A few years ago, model Stella Tennant, her French husband David Lasnet and their four children Cecily, Iris, Jasmine and Marcel decided to leave behind the humdrum of New York, and settle in Stella's childhood landscape of Scotland. And looking at these idyllic pictures of their elegant 18th century estate, I can certainly see the appeal.

(Isn't it rather refreshing to see home pictures that aren't too spick and span, but showing some traces of life? 

And not in that kind of premeditated way.)

This accompanying New York Times article was a pleasure to read, painting a rather interesting & beautiful picture of their Scottish existence.

Rory Dobner

Artist Rory Dobner lives and works in London's lovely Hampstead, and his designs are sold at Liberty's, among other places.


I thoroughly enjoyed watching him telling about his creations in this clip (in many ways :)), with the backdrop of his incredible studio. (That collection of old frames!)




You can read more about him here.

Confessions of a closet royalist

Not only have I been admiring the home of photographer Les Kaner in the latest issue of Norwegian Elle Decoration, but also her captures of the Danish royal family - my secret (or not such a secret) crush. Relaxed, tender, happy (they just make my heart melt)!

At home with Angelika Taschen

Some pics from the stylish Berlin apartment of book publisher Angelika Taschen. The space, the light!

Let's stay in New York for a while...

This morning I've enjoyed these glimpses of a Brooklyn home from the latest Est magazine

And a pinch of Garance Doré and Scott Schumann can never fail (lots of 'cute' words used in this video,  but I guess it does tie in with the romantic notion of Tiffany's. And I love their act of coffee making.) 

Brooklyn creators

Boy was I happy when I clicked on a link on Kinfolk and landed on the Makers, a photo project by Brooklyn-based photographer Jennifer Causey, featuring a whole host of creative people living and making things happen in Brooklyn. Certainly inspires to get those creative juices running.

Now for a really happy weekend to each and everyone!
