The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: High Gloss April-May

Weeks have been so busy, I haven't had time to look at the newest High Gloss until recently!

I must say this issue hasn't blown me away... But it did have a few yummy interiors.

The Good: 

1- Pops of Purple: I didn't love all the rooms of this pied-a-terre but these two vignettes are really gorgeous.

2- Beautiful neutral bedroom: So calming and elegant.

3- Eclectic Art: I really wasn't a fan of that whole house (see Ugly below) but I really enjoyed the artwork in these two photos and how it blends well with the surroundings. 

4- Black kitchen: I LOVE this kitchen! Everything about it. Especially the shelves. It's dramatic and vibrant and all around amazing.

5- Relaxing retreat:  I really hate buddha heads. But I love the rest. The ivy growing on the distressed fence, the colour of the water, the pink accent cushions.

The Bad: Déjà-vu
Don't get me wrong, I'm ALL for Diane Von Furstenberg and Jen Ramos. In fact, I really admire them both. But seeing them featured in a mag for, respectively, their-not-so-new-anymore collection and their lovely-but-featured-a-million-times home is not really the novelty I expect from magazines, even online ones.
 

The Ugly: Hot Mess
Is it just me, or are these two photos below a couple of hot messes?

Your turn now.
