hideaways

1/ room 304 at the michelburger hotel in berlin

.

it's like a modern, live-in cubicle. which is incredible . 

love: neutrals, wood + concrete details, "secret" doors, geometry

 

 

2/ azukashi house in japan

.

(some) antiques x modern details- swoon. although i don't know what that bird's doing there 

love: plants (+), wood details, house-silhouettes, open

 

 

3/ watt rooftop apartment in belgium

.

okay this is what i've always wanted my bedroom to look like: bed, dresser, mirror, PLANTS. 

love: PLANTS PLANTS PLANTS, focus on plants, green from plants, completely open space, that antique ladder, exposed light fixtures

 

 

4/ 5th floor apartment in copenhagen

.

okay and this is what i want my house to look like: minimal, simple palettes, midtone oranges, blues, and greens.

love: natural light, leather detail, exposed books, plants, open

 

 

5/ artist's studio in amsterdam

.

this was built in a renovated tower and is pretty much the epitome of what a hideout/hideaway is.

love: bareness, tall ceilings, neutrals, spiral staircase. so minimalist.

ever since i was a kid, i've had this obsession with "hideaways" or secret passageways in houses or between rooms. i still have that obsession, but i've matured it a bit.

in 2006, we took a vacation to amsterdam, berlin, and paris, and i remember that the most memorable part of our 2 week-long trip was this / this (we stayed there two different times). my favorite part of our entire trip was our hotel room(s). yep. that's also the only part that i remember and reminisce about now: the interior design. i cannot describe to you how much i loved those rooms. i was/am fascinated by small, modern spaces (i have a folder of pictures dedicated to the them). 

i'm pretty sure that everyone shares this fascination with eclectic, homey, minimalist, cozy, visually-appealing spaces, or at least i hope they do.

found artists: tyler spangler

this is tyler spangler.

some of tyler's work caught my eye whilst scrolling through tumblr (as one does) and i thought i would share it with you all. i was definitely drawn towards the really vivid color palettes he uses. a lot of his work includes cut-outs and collages + it reminds me of a more modern, matisse-like style of art. 

i think what i love most about tyler's work is its simplicity– the ability to create a minimalist, simple work of art while still being eclectic, i guess. it's hard to explain, but, i think you get my gist. it's sophisticated, but not... there's definitely a lot of stuff going on in his graphics, but not to much that it's too ornate. there's a perfect balance, and i love it. i love it. i love it. 

also, his gifs are a plus. gifs are always a plus. 

have a great rest of your week everyone!

(there is a new video coming out soon)

found artists: joji baratelli

this is joji ('s work). 

joji is a teen photographer with a great eye for detail and contrast and texture and color. last summer, while i was in LA, we met up and traveled around santa monica and photographed what we saw. what resulted were various hues of greens and blues–– typical for los angeles.

i wanted to share one of my favorite projects of his: paper. this series (which completely caught my eye) was shot entirely with an iphone and processed in VSCO. i think what really drew me towards these particular shots was light in contrast with shadow, two elements that i like to play around with in my own work. his high-contrast photography is my personal favorite, but all of his other photos are taken just as skillfully.

i also really respect joji's street photography. i've always been a little discouraged when asking to take people's pictures, resorting to taking faceless portraits instead. joji is pretty dauntless in this field, and for this reason (and many others), i really admire him as a photographer. 

you can take a look at his work on his VSCO, his vimeo, or his instagram.

joji is definitely a creative to watch out for.
