Home & Delicious

I’m a big fan of anyone creating beauty for the sake of inspiring the world. That is why I am truly head-over-heels for the Icelandic husband and wife team of photographer Gunnar Sverrisson and designer Halla Bára Gestsdóttir. Their newly launched online magazine, Home & Delicious {published out of Reykjavík, Iceland} is a veritable feast of design, food and photographic inspiration.

Here is just one of the stunning spaces featured in their recently released first issue. You can read all about the Icelandic artist who has made her family home in this stunning 17th century classic Italian structure in the full article.

That red-brick-paved, barrel-vaulted ceiling in the kitchen and living room has me swooning. The home feels like such a rich yet subtle canvas for the artist Maria to use as her backdrop to envision and create. It also feels like the kind of home that welcomes real life in its embrace and invites loved ones to linger in each other’s presence. Rather perfect if you ask me.

If you’d like to receive this beautiful magazine straight into your inbox, simply email info@homeanddelicious.com and include your preference of English over Icelandic.

Happy Monday!

Photographer | Michael Graydon

Every once in awhile you stumble upon something honest. Something clear and simple and humble and true. Concise in its clarity and pure in its authenticity, you can’t help but love it just for being itself.

This may seem an odd description for photography, yet that is how I feel about the work of Toronto photographer Michael Graydon. His use of light and his natural, unfraught compositions feel like a frank but gentle conversation about all things beautiful and lovely in the world.

You may recognize editor-in-chief Suzanne Dimma of Canadian House & Home magazine, pictured below in her beautifully simple, Canadiana-modern cottage. At least one of the following shots has also been featured in this eponymous design mag {see if you can guess which one?}.

I hope Michael’s photography inspires you to notice the light in each room you enter today. Perhaps these images will inspire you to create simple yet intriguing vignettes in your mind’s eye as you take photographs with your imagination. Whatever spark is lit, I hope you fan the flame.

Happy Monday!

Wish List: Sunday Suppers

Imagine a most inspiring place, flooded with light and creativity. A place where the goal is to experience and learn and savour and create.

A place where market fresh, local and organic are de rigeur,

where irresistable food is lovingly crafted with these carefully gathered ingredients,

where local chefs and photographers teach cooking techniques alongside tips for food styling and photography,

and where friends gather to create seasonal, fresh meals together just for the experience of it.

You might think it too wonderful to be true, my dear friends, but it exists. In Brooklyn, NY, no less. This place I speak of is Sunday Suppers.

There are the “wish I could wish for that but I know it won’t come true” Wish Lists in life, and then there are the “I will wish for it as long as it takes until it comes true” Wish Lists. Sunday Suppers is on the latter for me. Hoping to have a post telling all about the experience down to every last finger-licking gourmet detail in the months to come.

In the meantime, get your drool-worthy fix of inspired recipes and spectacular photography here.
