guest post: from one photographer to another

 

Hello all!  I'm Anna Moller and I'm proud to be a guest host on Simple Blueprint today, not only because I truly love this blog but because I always truly love the person behind this blog!  Joanna and I have been friends and avid supporters of one another's creative endeavors since we were little tots!  Our friendship spans a lifetime.  I admire this woman very much and I always check in to Simple Blueprint to get my design fix. 

 

 

 

Since I'm a photographer, I wanted to share a series of images that I came across recently. The woman behind these photos is Debora Mittelstaedt and I found them at the winners gallery for PDN's 'The Look' contest. I'm happy to share Debora's beautiful visual story, which feels as if each picture is taking a beautiful breath, leading to the next. 

I would love for you to check out my portfolio and visit my blog if you feel for it. And I also had the honor of placing the winner's category in 'The Look' competition for my work backstage at New York Fashion Week. You can see my series of images here.

Thanks and be well. Anna

 

 

guest post: gorgeous hunting lodge

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Hello, I'm Johanna from Today you inspired me. I couldn't have been more delighted when Joanna asked me to guest blog here on simple blueprint while she's enjoying the delightful Spanish sun!

I'd like to share a gorgeous home by UXUS design. The family living here wanted an open, modern space as a reminder of their time living in Europe, still not forgetting the heritage of the home; A 1930's hunting lodge.

I love how the neutral tones & material are interrupted by details of vivid colors every here and there. And I absolutely love the "Dear Ingo" lamp by Moooi, the white painted wood floors & the stunning bedroom floor, the grey Hella Jongerius sofas for Vitra, the house-playing-blocks on the kitchen table, the chairs, the Piet Hein Eek coffe table & dining table, the collection of glass-pieces, the bowl of apples made out of plates...

Oh, I could go on & on.. My favourite room is the office with the bright orange chair and the suspension lamps with the golden inside! And my absolute favourite furniture in this interior must be the fantastic Leslie Oschman vintage chair by the dining table. Aren't they just stunning with its countryside prints!?

I find these words from yatzer, were I found this home, very well said:

"The invigorating energy throughout this area is solely based in the essential beauty found in simple things: the openness, the personality and the playful sophistication."

guest post: typography love!

Hello all, this is Piper from one sydney road and I'm thrilled to be here guest blogging for Joanna today!!  I thought I'd share one of my obsessions with you (not easy, since I have many!) But honestly, I seem to have a major thing for typography - letters, words, and sayings - oh my!  If it's got type, count me in.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed this type-full round up - thanks for letting me share!

guest post: bright & bold

Hi there, this is Lana from Lanalou Style and I'm so happy to be visiting while Joanna is enjoying a well deserved mini break! I came across this photo of Nicole Warne taken by the talented Jamie Beck of From Me To You and instantly fell in love with Nicole's striking and colourful outfit. A brilliant example of colour blocking done well! It even inspired me to put together a few more bright and bold fun pieces, enjoy...
