Lovely Loft

This is such a great looking loft from Remodelista....so amazing. Modern with rustic touches and French style vintage furnishing...that is bold. Not a single rug on the all white flooring and the open concept is the perfect place to have this type of floor. Walls of windows to bring in the light....well I could go on and on.....it is very well done to be sure.

Romantic Paris Apartment

What is not to like in this gorgeous apartment near the Louvre in the heart of Paris? Of course the moldings are spectacular and the ceilings stretch to unheard of heights. On top of the beauty of the architecture the styling of the apaprtment is so well done. Modern mixed with antique it is put together exactly how it should be....and what about that amazing wood floor!! So much to love here....

Enjoy!

Interiors: White and Wood

Such an incredible home from The Lettered Cottage I just had to share. The store and house (Check out the on-line store Atchison Home) are situated in one building and I am sure the furniture moves from one to the other rather often. All decorated in white rustic French style, it is really so amazing! Wonderful painted furniture, some left in the original wood color which makes a great contrast. Great tiled floors that provide a nice dark base for all the white and really anchors the entire space. My favourite spot though is the garden room with the metal sink. Love it!

Paris Chic Antique

A refurbished loft space in Paris is the setting for these fun ideas and interesting vintage and antique finds. Exposed surfaces include brick and stone left with a rough edge giving it a kind of industrial feeling. Love the butterfly wallpaper and the vintage cars in the kids room. So inventive the way they are featured on the wall....I  love creative ways of showing things to make them stand out!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Textured Walls

There is something about textured walls that I really love...I am not talking about the old fashioned sponge painting here..I mean the "Hey look I tore the wallpaper off the wall and I like it" kind of texture! The rough feeling of old paint, brick, chipping wood, torn wall paper and peeling plaster.... contrast that against chic, sophisticated furnishings and lighting.

In the photos below the walls are shown with shabby chic, industrial and French style and they look amazing in every picture. Now of course you have to have the right type of home...but does it have to be a really old home? Can you achieve this look in...say a new industrial loft? Of course you could and it would be amazing! Take a look and let me know what you think?

Enjoy!

Mix of Style in Spain

This gorgeous house, photographed by Enrique Menossi, has a really relaxed style. At first it felt French to me but after looking through the photos a few times there is a real mix and that is what I love to see! A little French, a little Gustavian, a bit of Moroccan style (what about that bath!)...but not to much of a Spanish style at all. I love the bedroom with the dainty bed...oh such a crush on that room....with the heavy curtains, the bed layered with covers and that high ceiling! I also really like the little boys room, that could easily be a little girls room.... So beautiful with the draping on the bed.

This home is such a good example of how versatile decorating in white really is! It applies to every style and elevates the elegance and beauty of every space!

Enjoy!

Feminine Touch

As I was doing some research yesterday I stumbled on the home of the designer Carolyne Quatermain and I am so happy I did. I spent at least an hour going through her website and looking at each of the articles written on this incredible designer. She really has the most refined eye! This woman designs homes, businesses, crystal, fabric...really versatile.

Her home in France is so feminine and so sophisticated but not overdone. She uses all white surfaces and then pops it with color in such a brilliant way. It is a mix of modern textures and patterns with classic shapes. Of course I love all the chandeliers and the prints on the chairs are beautifully designed.....but that painting in the living room leaning beside the couch....be still my heart.

Enjoy!

French: Grey and White

This lovely home is in the countryside just outside of Paris. Finished in grey, white and neutral tones, the feeling of this home is calm and peaceful. Completely renovated from top to bottom, I think the couple that own this home did a great job with it. They also own a home decor store called "La Vie en Grey Mouse" or Life in Mouse Grey which really describes their own home all painted in Mouse Grey and white.  A mix of French and Gustavian styles, antiques and vintage, it captures so many of the elements I love in a home... 

Enjoy!
