This house is the seventeenth home that Kim and James Pearson have renovated together. They used to live a few streets away and loved this little neighborhood, which is elevated above the ocean and sits between the river and the sea next to a little park in this beachside suburb of Perth, in Western Australia.

Topping my wish list for the ten years I lived in New York was a backyard space. Just a little patch of grass with enough private space for me to kick back on an Adirondack chair and sip on wine during the hot summer nights would have sufficed. Since moving to Minneapolis and easily procuring […]
Whitney Leigh Morris and Adam Winkleman don’t let size define their tiny cottage in Venice Beach. It might only be 362 square feet but they’ve managed to make use of every square inch of space. In designing the space, Whitney put her experience as a stylist and designer to work. She is inspired by simplicity […]

One of my favorite online discoveries of the last year was the British Library’s Flickr stream.

Right now I can’t get enough of my garden. To be honest, it was kind of a dirt pit at the beginning of spring, but since then a lot of work has gone into it, so I’ve really been taking time to appreciate the fruits of my labor. We’d added a fence for privacy, but […]
There is a serious disconnect sometimes between what I want to do on a Saturday evening and what I’m actually doing on a Saturday evening. I might talk a big talk about going out to experience “culture,” grabbing a delicious bite at a new restaurant, or going out to dance, but—let’s be real—Saturday evenings in the summer […]
There is a pervasive idea in our culture that, once you’ve graduated college, moved out of your dorm, and taken up residence in a real-life “grown up” apartment, it’s time to retire all your old furniture. Sure—that floral-printed inflatable armchair isn’t exactly the ideal for an adult living space [or maybe it is—you do you], […]
Spending the past two weeks inside The Catskill Park made me aware of just how much I love and am curious about nature. During a visit to the Nest Egg Country Shop in Phoenicia, I picked up a few field guides to identifying wildflowers and various animals around the area, but found that they weren’t […]
Since we’ve started our 10 Second Studio Tour series earlier this year, I’ve had the opportunity to see so many fabulous creative spaces, each a little different, each exploring the full gamut of what it means to work creatively. Some of these studios have been sparsely decorated, temples to a clear mind and heightened focus. Others have […]
