Covet Garden Issue 8

Covet Garden Issue 8 is now live. This issue takes a look at the Toronto west-end home of Tomi & Karim. The light, bright, calm space has been largely renovated by Karim who is an editor, director & compositor with Tomi, a graphic designer, adding her touch in the finishes.


Tomi's sparse design & the pale blue palette contribute greatly to the sense of calm & relaxation which this 100 year old home evokes. Although sparsely decorated, the objects to be found in the home reflect the couples' history & cultural backgrounds (Karim's Moroccan heritage & Tomi's Croatian roots).


It's a lovely abode that I imagine all who walk through its' door instantly feel at home in.


Covet Garden continues to bring us "real" homes. Go check it out.

Covet Garden Issue 7

Covet Garden Issue 7 is now live. This publication usually garners raves from me, but this issue left me a little disappointed. Although I found the couple featured, Alexx & Paul, very interesting & highly likeable, I wanted to see more of their home. This issue is probably the lightest of all Covet Garden's issue with respect to photos of the home's interior.


The quality of the production is first class, the writing is excellent & the subject matter always intriguing.


The issue is definitely still worth perusing, but I just wanted more.

Covet Garden Issue 6

Covet Garden Issue 6 is now live. This issue takes a look at photographer Tracy Shumate's studio/home which is located within a converted factory. It's a minimalist space but has such a degree of flexibility that it allows Tracy to constantly change her surroundings.


In other news from this issue, the Covet Garden team is launching a blog. The Covet Garden blog will be up and running from the 15th January 2011. As yet there is no direct link to the blog, but I for one will be adding it to my daily reader as soon as possible. Can't wait to see more from the team.

Daniel & Ben are world traveller's whose home reflects their exhaustive travels in a simple yet refined way. Definitely worth a look.
