The beautiful, John Lautner-designed Schaffer residence (as seen in A Single Man) is for sale. That being said, I might hold out for the ‘modest’ two-bedroom Walstrom Residence nestled in LA hills.

I stumbled across some of this Zulu ceramic art from Ardmore Studio at a gallery while I was in SA – and wow – it’s mind blowing. Sorry for posting so many pics – but I really can’t edit this down any further… they’re are all so impressive! I particularly love the Rhino/Leopard candlesticks. Exuberant [...]

I’m also loving the interior combinations of [...]

I stumbled across the Nordic Bakery yesterday. All their products are based on genuine Nordic recipes and ingredients and the interior is charmingly furnished with various pieces by iconic Nordic designers such as Kaj Franck, Alvar Aalto and Ilmari Tapiovaara. A perfect pit stop on a cold London day. Find it Here.
