Weekend

Happy weekend! Hope it's a lovely one. I can't quite believe we're here at the end of the week, actually — no real plans as yet but as it's been busy we'll be definitely doing a little relaxing. How about you?

Italian Minimalism

 

When very modern Italian designers Ludovica and Roberto Palomba turned their discerning eyes to a vacation home for themselves, they chose an ancient 17th-century oil mill in Salento. It's a perfect choice — the soaring ceilings and interesting textured stone walls harmonize beautifully with their modern furniture designs. Love this airy and serene space. More here in Dwell.

Flamingo! A stunning example of body painting by the artist Gesine Marwedel. Wonderful.
