Springtime Inspiration: Jonny Miller's Photographs

If you find yourself with time to fill this weekend and a need for some springtime inspiration, have a look at Jonny Miller's interiors portfolio. His photos, with their Easter egg colors and amazing use of natural light, are just the thing to put you in the mood for the season. If you're curing, you'll find perfect examples of how to edit a surface or space, leaving just the right number of items behind. Or if you're only in it for fun, try and play "guess which defunct beloved magazine published this photo"!
 
 

In each photo there's a little tidbit you can file away for future use at home: using a Moroccan tagine on your landing strip to hide your keys and glasses; echoing the pattern of your rug with a throw pillow, or picking up one of the rug's colors in a throw blanket; hanging tiny artwork low over a table so it doesn't get lost on the wall.

Visit Jonny Miller's site for more inspiring vignettes.

Ever since that first photo was in Blueprint, I've been trying to find out where to get that carafe and glasses. Anyone?

I want whatever's in that carafe. Yum.

I'll take the carafe too, actually. Sigh.

The coffee table is from Mash Studios: http://www.designpublic.com/shop/mash-studios/6791

I love it as well and have been considering it for my living room. The corresponding side tables are really low, and I'm not sure about them for my space. I can't tell from the photo if they were used in this home.

I love that rug in the first photo! I would love a zig zag rug, but the black and white or brown and cream ones at West Elm just don't go with my place. Any ideas where it's from?

My concern about that coffee table is scratching the white paint on the part that slides, otherwise very functional.
I was looking at the credenza version for a while then decided it might look dated in 10 years.

elissa- the rug might be from Madeline Weinrib http://www.madelineweinrib.com/ama/cotton_flatweaves/44-Zig-Zag-Beige-&-Black.html

I like this one looks easy to clean-

That looks like a Madeline Weinrib rug...maybe?

Although I don't see green anywhere...so maybe they change colors every so often?

I guess I'm the only one that thinks these arrangements are poor affects at being stylish. A big distracting yellow chain to hold up a shelf. More attractive brackets would do.

The puny gray wall paper along with the soap bubble glass light fixture etc. It all appears to be collections found in second hand stores or buy outs. What about the blue vase, victim of an ugly stick!

click212 I did not see one comment here about loving the styling of these photos. All are questions and answers about where and how to get some pieces featured in these pictures.

I wanted to report back, I ran into that coffee table at Architectural Element in SF, sadly they are going out of business so they are having a big sale. They have three LAXseries pieces- coffee table, credenza and wall unit. I do like the walnut wood on these pieces but you can see that the white sliding piece can chip. The table was a little wobbly not sure if it just needed tightening or not. Overall not thrilled.

That coffee table and other similar pieces are on sale now at a modern furniture store located on the east side of Valencia between 16th -17th streets. I can't remember the store name, but it's closing down so everything in the store is marked down and they seemed to be entertaining offers this past Saturday afternoon.
