Jo Berryman






Do you ever have days where you could just pack up your belongings and move straight in to someone else's home? Well, if they let you that is! Today, I am having one of those days. May I present to you the home of Jo Berryman, owner of interior design and event styling company, Matrushka

Many of you may recognise her home from the April 2009 issue of Living etc. I certainly did following yesterday's post and I couldn't resist posting more images today which didn't feature in the magazine. Whilst Jo's North London home exudes contemporary chic, this is also met with a relaxed feel through the use of edgy British design. 

Varying shades of white throughout the ground floor serve as a backdrop to showcase carefully selected furniture pieces and fabulous artwork and photography from the likes of Damien Hirst and Helmut Newton. Jo's styling background and well-honed eye is evident throughout and ornaments and books are displayed in a personal and creative way, making them works of art themselves in each room.  It is not only in her own home that she has perfected this refined yet laid-back look, head on over to the Matrushka website to see more wonderful spaces Jo has created.

Little wings






I love a wee feathered friend in an interior, don't you?
I've had the stork image in my 'bathroom' file for ages and I love it. He looks so majestic up there above the bath...oh and the stripes....the stripes!!

An inland sea


Whilst flicking through this month's issue of House and Garden, I came across this amazing light installation by lighting designer, Bruce Munro

The images above show how the installation, named CDSea, will look both at night and during the day. One million discs laid on Long Knoll field in Wiltshire will reflect the sun during the day and the moon at night, creating the impression of an 'inland sea' and you can even play your part by sending in any unwanted CD's of your own. Brilliant!
