This property and its décor has been perfectly put together. From the double volume, architectural-wonder windows that make the most of an exquisite harbour view, to the whalebone staircase this villa is both charming and majestic. It has gracefully edged its way into my own personal top ten favourites. But enough description! Gape in astonishment at these gorgeous images.

Top Classic Location, Strawberries & Cream
I spotted some gorgeous classic libraries on House Beautiful the other day. Most of the images below are from our own extensive portfolio, with a few of theirs thrown in for good measure!
ASOS magazine shot with Bigsky Productions in Cape Town in the archetype 1970’s house called El Dejo.
ASOS.com is one of the leading global online-only fashion and beauty retailers and its ASOS magazine is now 18th most read magazine in the UK with a readership of 450 000 people. The editorial was shot by Alex Sainsbury and styled by Richard Sloan, the model was Alessandra Cirotto From Ice Models.
The El Dejo House, listed with Amazing Spaces, is a location that has been frozen in time – like someone simply pressed pause. It is exactly this attribute that made ASOS choose this location for one of their magazine editorials. The strong American West-Coast architecture, with its period furniture and features, make this house a spectacular example of 70’s lifestyle. The interior is not so much a statement but a feeling of the times, which is the case with so much of this house. Its rounded arches and its well established garden make finding a spot to shoot easy and inspirational. Perfect for any shoot searching to recapture the spirit of the 70’s or reinvent the seventies in a modern and chic way.
One of our absolute favourite locations, Seize the Day, was recently renovated and is looking simply A-Mazing. Here are a few ‘before’ snaps to put you in the picture:
And here are some images after the owners worked their magic!
