Design Crush: Tim Clarke


Oh to be Tim Clarke. Surfer dude turned interior designer to the stars, living the good life on the sunny west coast, perfecting that California cool look of beachy relaxation and modern funk. Can I please snag an ounce of that, Tim? I am so loving these shots from his portfolio, including the artsier photos that yet again make me want to make a mad dash to Logan for a one way ticket outta this cold, dreary New England weather.

To compound on the degree of awesomeness that is Tim’s life, he also has a gorgeous shop called Tower 20 in Santa Monica. I feel another west coast pilgrimage coming on….

    I absolutely love that zen looking bathroom with the round mirror. I wish I was taking my morning shower in it every day. It would make me so happy …

    Hi, love this post – and TC’s style – I went to the site to get the address of his store, since I am in Santa Monica a lot, and realized I had been there just three weeks ago…although the store was lovely – the staff (not TC) was so rude to me, I could not believe it. Oh well.
