Cozy Apartment in Sweden

Pretty little apartment in Sweden with one of the wonderful ceramic tile fireplaces I love so much. Doesn't it give the  look of this room a cozy feeling? Nice contrast of dark and light in this home with a touch of wood throughout. The apartments I find in Sweden all seem to have the most incredible light and nice tall windows...always lots of reflection with pale floors and white walls for a nice clean and simple look!

Enjoy!

Super Apartment in Sweden

Such a cute apartment in Sweden with wonderful and interesting details! The kitchen is so great with the high back splash of subway tile and the eat-in area. I love the hanging lights throughout the apartment...gives it a modern feel for not too high a cost....so easy to add these to any home. Great floors boards and what about that incredible wallpaper! I just love the look of it in an all white home..with that wonderful wall of colour in the dining room. The mix of chairs and the shot of green to coordinate with the wall is really fun. I love to add a bit of the unexpected in to a room and I find that is a bit of what we see in this apartment....

Enjoy!

Interiors: Designer Katty Schiebeck

The wonderful interiors of Katty Schiebeck can be seen on her blog Somewhere I Would Like to Live. She is a designer living in Barcelona and her homes are done with a super mix of sleek and warm, vintage and modern. Love the materials she uses combining metals and woods.....what about the wonderful different whites that are combined in this room below. So important to combine creams, whites and greys in a home so selecting what colour you put on the walls is really important!. I will do a post soon on all of my favourite colours!!

Light and Bright

This is the home of the owner of Sukha in Amsterdam. She has a gorgeous shop that features much of what she shows in her home. Chunky knits, cotton and pale beautiful wood are shown in every room. So dreamy and casual, I just love it. This is a style of home I could live in....super easy, clean lines and natural fabrics. Typically Nordic and modern in the taste level but with a warmth and comfort that is so appealing.

I can see my own ceramics in a home like this with the organic materials and feeling of the line fitting in so well with this look. Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Enjoy!

Black and White Scandinavian

So love this Scandinavian apartment! So inspired that I can see doing this in one of my clients homes. The couch is just perfect. Modern but still comfortable and the coolest of lamps beside it...also the coffee table is just so perfect! I would love to have one of these cross blankets from Pia Wallen... they are really beautiful don't you think?

Hope you are having a great week. Check out these Scandinavian beauties HERE and HERE..

Enjoy!

Interiors: Home of Angelika Taschen

Every time I was in Paris over the last couple of years I would make a stop at the book store Taschen. I loved to look around at all of the art and photography books that they publish. The store has this vibe, very artsy and yet sophisticated and sexy....much like the apartment of the owner Angelika Taschen. This apartment is in Berlin and she says the new way to decorate in her city is to make the best space with very little money...and I think her apartment reflects her philosophy. She has not got a lot of pieces but they are meaningful to her and are all rather artsy and sophisticated..like her store. Most surprising is the kitchen with just one wall of counters and her table and a lamp. On the other wall is a gorgeous mirror, not really what you would expect to see in a kitchen but that is what makes it so great...Take a look. 

Enjoy!

In the Details..

Such a pretty apartment with gorgeous fir floors and incredible moldings....this century old apartment has all the details to make it special. I especially like the kitchen which has a great modern light fixture ( I had never seen these fixtures with a bit of color) and love, love the map on the wall. They always looks so good used in home decor (see more examples of it HERE)! I also like the black and white striped carpet on the floor. I added a stripe carpet to my living room and it adds wonderful texture to the space. Nice neutrals with a pop of colour here and there make this a fun little apartment.

Enjoy!

White in Sweden

This is such a great apartment in Sweden. All white with many of the traditional Swedish touches....gorgeous tiled fireplace, all white wood floors and wonderful moldings. There are several features I really like in this apartment and the first is that every room is off the central hallway. I also love the barn doors that separate the office and living room and did you see that cool trompe l'oeil of the door. Soo cute. The oddly shaped kitchen has also been well done and did you see that interesting fan over the stove? That is new for me I have never seen anything like it! Of course I like Swedish style so much and have blogged about it many times. Here are a couple of other posts with Swedish apartments HERE and HERE...

Enjoy!

Modern and Simple

Gorgeous modern home that keeps it really simple and clean. This place really sticks to the essentials with no fluff at all. The square lines throughout the apartment are broken with the three round fixtures above the dining room table....so cool....as well as the round tables in the living room. It is really clever how view is shown to its best advantage with furniture placement and the use of warm woods throughout this home keep it from getting too sterile! I do think a little art on the walls would add to the space but I still really like the simple beauty of this space...Here a couple of other modern spaces you might like HERE and HERE..

Enjoy!

Beautiful in Brooklyn

I first saw this home in the book Decorate by the wonderful blogger Holly Becker and I could not stop looking at it over and over. It provided me with some great inspiration for a project I have been working on for the past few months. So while visiting the site The Selby today I ran across this  house once again and decided I had to share it with you! (I love the The Selby by the way. Homes of all sorts of wonderful creative people!) 

This is the home of Lyndsay Caleo and Fitzhugh Karol who are interior designers and artists. What I am so inspired by is the way the home works as a whole.....how it feels entirely seamless with one room flowing beautifully into the next. The rooms have a natural, sort of artsy vibe while still being very sophisticated. The kitchen is just perfect for me..open shelving, big farmhouse sink yet it feels modern with the countertops and stainless steel. Oh yes this is really such a great space!

Enjoy!
