These fantastic photo manipulations are the work of Thomas Barbey.  He uses either a Mamiya RB 67 or several old Canon AE-1s to shoot the photos and then overlaps negatives until he obtains the right mix. To see more visit the gallery on his website. pb Spotted on 123 Inspiration


These arresting photos are by David Fitt, a Paris, France based director and photographer, and upon reading his theory below i didn’t agree. After adding the photos and looking at them a few times I admit I started having a problem determining if I had repeated any of them, so I think he might have […]


French designer Sarah Lavoine certainly knows how to create interiors that pack a visual punch. I love her use of black and white throughout with pops of color and color blocking to both unify and accentuate the fantastic furnishings, light fixtures, and artwork.   pb

After buying they decided to renovate by opening up the drop ceiling, installing a radiant heated concrete floor and painting yellow brick black. As they explain “For […]


This is the dark hued home of multi-talented Morten Bogh Andersen, Danish designer, artist, and architect. He designed the Eton of Sweden’s flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York and his home is a reflection of his mastery of scale and restraint.

Almost exactly a year ago Michael Shindler did something a little crazy, based on his months of learning the Wet-Plate Collodion process, invented in the 1850’s, he opened the world’s only tintype portrait studio Photobooth in San Francisco, CA.  In our current time of IPhones and megapixels surely this was career suicide. Right? Wrong. Since opening he has had 3,500 […]


Found on BlackBird this gorgeous little apartment is owned and designed by Anne Louise Breiner, the woman behind BALlab. She lives and works in the 92 square meter space and manages to incorporate quite a few different spots of color throughout the home. Lovely.    pb


Cottage Color

07Aug12

Found on Hus & Hem, one would not expect the color riot inside this modest little cottage, although the little touch of red in the trim gives a hint. The Lülloff-Houlbergs summer home was a mish-mash of styles when they purchased it from the original owners as it had been renovated or added onto many […]


These dining spaces were featured on California Home + Design Magazine and all have tons of personality and style. The one above sports multicolored chairs and 3 chandeliers, 2 painted, 1 not, the books provide additional color and texture. You can’t go wrong with the classic black and white scheme. The blend of baby blue […]


London born artist, Shantell Martin intends to make the entire top floor of her Brooklyn, NY brownstone her canvas.  She had planned to limit the drawings to just a portion of a wall and, as you will see, that didn’t really work out. Her drawings cover the walls in her bedroom, laundry room. and office […]
