I feel so schizophrenic about design sometimes. I love so many looks and I think I am a pretty good copy cat. Sometimes I pick up a magazine and get really excited about copying to a T a lovely sparse white and pink minimalist apartment. But, after I unpack my boxes and look at all my belongings, I decide that I want to be surrounded with things that are ME instead of just trying to prove that I can have a magazine worthy house. I've been a huge fan of Rita Konig for a while now and her apartments are my latest inspirations. I love their personal displays, their haphazardness, their Englishness. I love how they seem to feel so comfortable and lived in.
I think she's great. I especially love all the photos she takes with an old Land camera.

i was just reading about her last night in some old dominos. she seems very accesible - if that makes sense.
i do the same with copying things. i see something, and i'm like YES. that's it. i'll do that exactly!!
sometimes i wonder if its all about the presentation. maybe if you could get a photo shoot done of your house as it is currently, and have it presented to you all glossy and pretty, you'll love it just a much as everyone elses.
