Photographer Hunter Gorham travels the world capturing the perfect 30 seconds of light on beaches, mountains, and deserts. He prints in large format on the heighest quality, pearlized paper making you feel like you stepped into a pristine forest, wandered among the ruins of Central America, or waded on the shores of an expansive sea. Most of all, we love the color. We've created Colourlovers palettes for three of his global works for this week's installment of CMYLK.

As a child with talents in drawing and math, Bruce Bolander heard the suggestion, “You should be an architect” so often that he took it to heart, graduating cum laude with a degree in architecture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1989. In Cal Poly’s workshop, he also learned to make elegant, one-of-a-kind furniture with steel and castoffs. While Bolander designs both residential and commercial structures, his Malibu-based firm s specializes in creative offices for film production and editing facilities. Let's see what inspires him in this week's Friday Five.

We weren't understating things when we said you were craving themed inspiration. Our most recent roundup, 12 Tubs with Amazing Views, was whoppingly popular. Are you as keen on prettifying your place on the street as you are on lolling in the bath? These brightly colored front doors add instant spiff; we think they'll inspire you to pull out a paintbrush!

We're guessing you have heard of Lindsey Adelman, a darling of the New York lighting design scene. At the very least, you probably recognize her innovative chandeliers, which are a unique cross between industry and nature. Adelman founded her New York City studio in 2006. Today she has a team of 15 and a network of local artisans that manufacture each piece to order. Yes, those glass globes are all hand blown in Brooklyn. While lighting has been the focus, Adelman has recently expanded into jewelry, vessels, tiles, and wallpaper, done in materials beyond her original brass—wood, concrete, porcelain, gold, and stereolithography. This month's Deconstruction allows us a peek inside the process.

Artist Erin Cooper, who lives and works in Oklahoma City is a painter who also runs the graphic design studio CooperHouse with her husband Tim. She says of her artwork, "My paintings allow me to explore color combinations that I don’t always get to play with in the professional world." This week's CMYLK looks at three, alongside our custom-designed Colourlovers palettes.

Visit the Brooklyn studio of jewelry maker Aaron Ruff of Digby & Iona, which he shares with rescue dog Nuki, loud machines and curiosities.

When you see her work, you won't be surprised that stylist/designer Katrine Martensen-Larsen of KML Design is Danish, based out of Copenhagen. With white as her base, she adds bright shots of color to rooms, transforming them to light, airy, and in this case, wonderfully playful modern spaces. This Copenhagen flat is a Scandinavian riot, so to speak.

In an effort to fulfill your cravings for more interior design, we'll be brining you themed round ups of amazing spaces, culled from the portfolios of different designers. As the weather turns crisp (in our part of the world at least), we dream longingly of long, hot soaks in luxurious tubs that overlook the most fantastic landscapes, be it fields, mountains, forests, or oceans. Which is most appealing to you?

Although this month's Design Store(y) subject has a distinctly French name, it's actually located in the Veneto region of Italy. Maison 203, is a glass-fronted, white slice of a shop on a quaint brick street that opened in June 2010. The owners, husband-and-wife designers, curate covetable items from a respectable roster of established international designers and emerging brands. We've long been fans of their sleek web shop, and were thrilled to discover they exist IRL (that's "in real life" for those of you not versed in txting) as well. Let's step inside and find out more about the business.

Anne Harper, who works out of Atlanta and New York and studied Design and Photography at the University of Miami, is an abstract painter and musician. This week, for CMYLK, we created Colourlovers palettes of works done in acrylics and mixed media on canvas, which were shown in a solo exhibition at the Arden Fritz Gallery in Miami earlier this year. The pieces are at once feminine and strong, and extremely appealing. Her new series, "Weighted," will be completed next summer.

For this month's Destination Design we fly up and over to Iceland (not really, we wish!) for a stay at the dramatic 101 Hotel Reykjavik. Situated in the heart of the city's historic district, the sleek design is a symphony of black and white, punctuated with cozy touches like the fireplace in the lounge, and old-fashioned freestanding tubs in some guest rooms. Contemporary art, from standing and crouching nudes of slightly indiscriminate gender to misty abstract canvases, dot the public spaces, lending an almost eerie feel to the cutting-edge design. As you've probably figured out by now, we're huge fans of boutique hotels that incorporate art galleries into the experience.

This week's CMYLK finds us creating Colourlovers palettes all over New York City. The rooms were created by interior designer Fawn Galli, mingles the old and the new, vintage and contemporary. Although schooled in political science, following a stint at Christie's auction house in the European furniture department, Galli learned the design trade in positions at renown architecture and design firms of Robert A.M. Stern and Peter Marino. We love her style, especially the colors.
