Claudia Uribe Touri :: Photography

Claudia's gorgeous images have me day dreaming of spending my days lounging by pools, wearing white linen, and reading books illuminated by giant expanses of seamless windows.  And that's just her architecture portfolio - don't get me started on her still-life and food photography!

I've highlighted some of my favorite architecture and interior images below, but the rest of her portfolio is equally sumptuous, so check it out!

Road Trip In Finland :: Scandinavian Inspiration

Road Trip In Finland, or RTIF, is a gorgeous blog that I just discovered this morning (and am wondering how on Earth I've gone this long without it in my life).  It chronicles the adventures and inspirations of two women living in Finland: an interior designer (Mirja Karjula) and a photographer (Riikka Kantinkoski).

The inspiration for the RTIF name comes from their series of road trips to the fabulously styled homes of fellow Finnish creatives and families.  There are only two road trips so far (the blog just started this last January), but I'm loving every bit.

I've featured the images from the first trip, a visit to the home of a fashion designer and carpenter - and their six children (and one dog).  Don't you think this home just sings?  Everything about it is so nurturing of creativity; I love it!  Check out the rest of the images from this home right here.

With that, I'll send you off to get lost in the visual wonders of RTIF!

Michael Moran :: At Home With Karim Rashid

Forget Disneyland, this is the happiest place on Earth!  I love getting glimpses of designers' homes and this peek into Karim Rashid's New York apartment has left me feeling like someone who just got their first kiss.  Check out more images, by the fabulous photographer Michael Moran, after the jump!
