Home Inspiration With Meredith Swinehart
We're delighted to introduce the second of our guest judges in this year's Remodelista Considered Design Awards: Will Taylor, the creator of lifestyle blog Bright Bazaar.
A UK native who lives in London, Will is a self-described "gentleman hooked on hue"—he founded Bright Bazaar in 2009 with the motto "Beige is boring." His site features interiors profiles and home styling tips, and last week, he unveiled a redesigned Bright Bazaar to showcase two more of his passions: travel and fashion. (In the photo above, Will shows readers how to wear bright primary colors.)
Last year, Will published his first book, Bright Bazaar: Embracing Color for Make-You-Smile Style. The Amazon best seller is now out in five languages, and Will is currently at work on his second book.
To keep up with Will, go to Bright Bazaar and join his devoted followings on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more than 2.5 million followers on Pinterest.

Architecture & Interiors With Christine Chang Hanway
Mat Collishaw, an instrumental if lesser known figure in the YBA movement (think Tracy Emin, Damien Hirst, and Sarah Lucas), creates art that by turns seduces and repulses. Art to him is not about beauty or perfection; the point is to get people to think about real issues. By extension, a tour of his home, a former pub in Camberwell, London, reveals a related approach. This is a man who engages with his personal environment on a practical and functional level.
For more, see Collishaw's studio spaces and an interview with him by Freunde von Freunden.
Photography by Antoine Breant for Freunde von Freunden.
Above: To convert what had been a pub and more recently a photo studio, Collishaw hired a crew and took down some walls. He then painted all his rooms white and applied a dark stain to the wood floors.
Above: The furnishings are spare but comfortable.
Above: "I don't agree with the cosmetic look flowers have been given," Collishaw says. "For example, if you look around and see birthday cards with drops of dew on the petals—this image has killed them."
Above: Diffused light comes into the house through simple blinds. (Learn where to source your own at Remodelista 101: Roller Blinds.)
Above: A taxidermy pheasant as decor.
Above: Windows without curtains provide maximum light.
Above: Collishaw in his fuss-free kitchen.
Above: The kitchen chalkboard bearing the artist's grocery list and a sketch.
Above: A small work surface and counter provide a separation between the living area and the kitchen.
Above: Over the Aga, Collishaw lines up his spices and other essential cooking ingredients on an open shelf for easy access.
Above: Appliances and utensils sit on the counter as they are, with no attempt to hide them away.
Above: A metal hat and coat rack provide towel storage over the bathtub.
Above: The exterior of the Victorian pub that Collishaw calls home. "I'd prefer to live in Camberwell in South London, which is still under development, and have space, rather than to live with the people who have their little hats on with their little bikes," Collishaw says. "Let me have my space!" Go to Mat Collishaw to see his work.
If you're planning a trip to London, a visit to The Draper's Arms, a gastropub in Islington, is a must. Check out some of our other favorite London hangouts in our City Guides.

Home Inspiration With Margot Guralnick
We asked Brooklyn DJ, blogger, and design aficionado Myles Tipley, to clue us in: What do (cool or wannabe cool) dads really want? He immediately supplied us with his own wish list for Father's Day.
Above: Myles with his wife (and fellow DJ) Lindsey Tipley and their three-year-old, Henry, in Williamsburg. Myles blogs about "vibes and stuff" at Myles Henry. Photograph by Christelle de Castro.
Above: "The design books I've been wanting are Commune: Designed in California ($37.66), Modern Originals: At Home with Midcentury European Designers, $35.71, by Leslie Williamson, and photographer Paul Barbera's Where They Create ($34)."
Above: "Can't go wrong with this: Lagavulin 16-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch"; $106.99 from BevMo. Photograph via Tomorrow Started.
Above: "And as the perfect companion, I'm into these smoky Hand-Blown Whiskey Glasses." Made by a small glass studio in Seattle, they're $32 each and $118 for a set of four from Food52.
Above: "To add a mellow vibe to my work setup, I have my eye on a Japanese Ceramic Incense Holder ($32 each from General Store). And, to go with it, Stussy's Kuumba International Incense Pack ($15)."
Above: "I really don't wear cologne, but I like this one—sort of a natural scent, and not too overpowering." Bravado 3 by Baxter of California is $85 from Saturdays Surf.
Above: "One of the best parts of being married: There's always fancy soap in my house. This is one of my favorites." Kiehl's Ultimate Man Body Scrub Soap with oat bran and pumice is $15 a bar from Kiehl's.
Above: "It's the perfect time of year for a new pair of sunglasses. I've been eyeing Oliver People's MP-2 Matte Black ($450) from Gentry."
Above: "I'm a hat guy, so there are always about five new ones that I want. I love this Ball Cap collaboration between Maiden Noir and Sneeze Magazine. A play on an Oakland A's hat, it's just so good"; $45 from Maiden Noir. "And here's another I have my eye on: the Navy Ball Cap ($95) with a suede rim from Gentry. I usually cheap out on myself and would never spend that much for a cap, but my wife would splurge on it."
Above: "I've been into this instant film camera lately. We actually already own one and have started using it to take photos of friends we have over for dinner; our guest shots all go up on a board." The Fujifilm Instax 210 Camera is $92 from Opening Ceremony. 
Above: "My wife and I have been trying to buy original pieces of art for each other. I love these 1990s photos by Lisa Leone." Go to HVW8 gallery to see more and inquire about pricing.

Bedrooms With Alexa Hotz
Spotted on Freunde von Freunden: a monastic gentleman's bedroom in the San Francisco home of Nir Stern. The son of two architects, Stern moved from Tel Aviv to the Bay Area to study architecture but found himself in the tech world doing interface design.
He designed his home, a renovated Victorian situated on a hill in Noe Valley, in collaboration with architect James Hill. We especially like the guest room, which features custom pieces mixed with antique furniture of the sort you might find in a tailor's shop.
