Brunch in Brooklyn

Great rustic serving table

Strong and graphic tile lines with black grout.

This is a great waterfront loft in Brooklyn, New York where the class-cooking-dining experiences of Sunday Suppers happens. The spaces are light and simple with touches of strong rustic furniture and you couldn't miss the gorgeous classic kitchen. On this particular occasion,  a group of designers, writers, editors, photographers and other talented ladies gathered together to celebrate Mothers Day. The stylish surroundings is lovely and this is a great way to be with people and enjoy really good food.

A Simple Designer Bakery in Japan

I'm enjoying this minimal and beautifully designed bakery in Kyoto, Japan. Named Panscape, the bakery was designed by ninkipen! and uses a lovely range of materials. The counter is made of 10mm thick aluminium, the front display cabinet rests on a large roughly cut log and touches of gold are noted with the front step lettering and reflective panel on the wall beside the front cabinet. Just stunning.

Al Brown's Depot

Al Brown at Depot, Auckland

This is Depot - found on Federal Street, Auckland and it has been getting a lot of good buzz, which is no surprise as it has the clever Al Brown at its helm. The interiors, designed by Charlie Notts, are rustic and easy going (rather like Brown himself). I'm enjoying the open relationship between the service and eating areas as well as the overall industrial vibe.

Taiwan Noodle House by Golucci International Design

This is Taiwan Noodle House restaurant found in Beijing, China. This eating place has used a great combination of light coloured Wishbone chairs, simple tables and benches, Tom Dixon lights and the stunning blue and white chinese china installation on the main wall - it is so effective! Designed by Golucci International Design.

I Like...



Tolix chairs out in front to of Capital Kitchen, Melbourne.



Designed by Mim Design - they were aiming for a modern country feel.



A large Caravaggio pendant over one of the tables.



A cool marble counter, more Caravaggio pendants and Tolix chairs.

My lovely training buddy and ally left me this week to move to Melbourne. How am I going to face Alice every week without you, Jan? So I thought if you're heading to Melbourne, you better check out this cafe, Capital Kitchen for me. Remodelista recently profiled it and I think it looks pretty cool. Designed by Mim Design, I like the modern country feel of this space. Great use of the Tolix chairs/stools and the Caravaggio pendants throughout.
