 A few warm and inviting porches and balconies for you this Monday morning! Also worth checking out: the former airplane hanger now home to Giampaolo Sgura and Miguel Arnau as seen in 3 and a closer look at how Anna-Malin created such a lovely space in her own backyard as seen in 5.

Keke and Love Fern Paella

So glad I stumbled on very talented Melbourne-based artist Kirra Jamison's side project Keke. According to Kirra, Keke is "inspired by the people I know, the places they cook and the food we share" - how lovely is that? It doesn't hurt that the homes are as awesome as this and the love fern paella looks equally delicious...

Feels Like Spring

(Cue the music.)

Get Excited!

 I love this sentiment from Katie Rodgers so much - makes doing the most mundane or even loathsome tasks so much easier when you're excited. Happy Monday!

2012 AD100

Have you seen Architectural Digest's list of Top Talents in Architecture + Interior Design for 2012 yet? So fun to see familiar favorites like Miles, Martyn, and Madeleine and also discover new (to me at least) ones like Atelier AM, Roman and Williams, and Juan Montoya. 

What do you think? Do you have a favorite?
