There is something so striking about the simple style of Jacqueline Morabito’s interiors.  I first met Jacqueline when I visited her showspace/workshop in La Colle sur Loup in France some eight years back with a view to showcasing her collection in the UK.  In Jacqueline Morabito, I saw a self-assured, charming women who was clearly comfortable in her skin and I believe that is why her style has endured, as I think these images testify. 

A hint of something personal and yet with such personality.

Another person who has stuck to a simple scheme and managed to create a home that exudes comfort and charm, is photographer Paul Massey. By keeping tones similar and skillfully placing various textures and artifacts, he has created a home that is not just to be admired, but clearly also enjoyed.

the white floors, walls and ceilings create a wonderful backdrop for the textures in Paul Masseys kitchen.

neither cluttered, nor sleek and modern, but instead the perfect mix of old and new of lived in and loved.
