Beautiful Apartment in Spain

This apartment shown on Rue Daily today (photos by: Eric Cuvillier and Adria Goulais) is so gorgeous with the most amazing tile! I am in Mexico on vacation this week and I ate at a wonderful restaurant last night with the same type of tile. It gives so much warmth to a space and is such a great contrast to the white walls. I have also seen similar tile in black and white and would love to do a wall in this as well...wouldn't that be a wonderful accent in a bathroom or entry? Hope you are having a great weekend!

Inspiration in White: Runway to Room

Love the gorgeous greens and blues we are seeing on the runways and at the award shows this season..(did you catch the Oscars yesterday?)...and what about a bit of green and blue in your home mixed heavily with white of course. The fabrics on the couches and in these amazing Gucci clothes are so rich and warm with velvets and mohair, leather and denim. A bit of bohemian inspiration from the runway to your room tonight!

Fantastic Real Estate

I really like these Swedish websites that feature real estate in a new way. The homes are styled to the max and look so appealing and fresh. You feel like you could just move in and everything is ready to go. The two real estate sites I really love are Fantastic Frank and Stadshem.  This great apartment is from Fantastic Frank and is pretty typical of what you would see on the site. Lots of white decor with some wonderful, mid-century or industrial and often vintage touches. Very often the kitchens have wonderful finishes and they always feel super modern and hip. Remember they are for sale so...any takers?

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!

Inspiration in White: Pastels

I love pastels so much and yes I have done many posts with pastels...but really pastels can be so shabby chic, so modern, so cool. When products are made in pastels, like lights, ceramics, chairs, Smeg fridges, well....I can't get enough. Surprisingly I don't have any pastels in my own home but the ceramics collection I am working on right now is in pale blue and pink...can't wait to get my samples completed! I also love some of the copper or brass lighting that work so well with pastels that you see in a few of these photos. Gorgeous!

Manhattan Chic in Blue and White

Metallic finishes add wonderful reflection to this glamorous, modern space in Manhattan. So well done in shades of blue and white with silver and chrome touches throughout. An amazing kitchen with mirrored doors does double duty as the entry into the apartment. This has been disguised with two large closets on either side that look so elegant and not expected for a kitchen which is always fun! Just beside the kitchen is the jewel of a powder room....actually the entire apartment is pretty much like a jewel! Pretty blue wall paper in the bedroom is so beautiful against the white bedding and the satiny headboard. What a chic little space!

Stylish Open Plan Apartment

This wonderful open plan space has lots of great elements. The concrete floor has such a fantastic glossy finish, beautiful beams all around the apartment and white, white everywhere. What could be better! The owners of this apartment in Copenhagen are both in the fashion business and you can see their good taste throughout the space. They have used really perfect classic pieces that will stand the test of time matched with great modern design.

Tine K Spring

 

I have been looking at the new Tine K cataloque for spring and not only are the pieces beautiful but the inspiration shots are well.....inspiring! Tine K is a Danish homewares company that sells wholesale and retail. In fact you can shop on line here. Really pretty furniture and accessories that have that clean lined Scandinavian look that I love! There is a gorgeous, simple white couch that would be great in my house and the garden furniture is so perfect...Check out her house here..

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Enjoy!

Fresh in Stockholm

Lots of things to love in this Swedish apartment, from the colorful Eames chairs to the cool artwork on the wall. The bedroom is so great with the prints on the walls and the little twinkle lights strung across the them. It feels so nicely styled and really fresh. A nice compact kitchen looks through to the dining room and the living space. Cute little twin bed with the desk...I think I would work and nap in this room quite well!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Studio Decor

Well I finally did it! I am opening my own ceramic studio with two friends and fellow artists...So excited! This will be another great part in my life as an entrepreneur, artist, interior designer, brand builder and blogger of course! I am thrilled to have a place to work on my ceramics but not only that, we will give classes in the space as well so that will be so much fun. This is a dream I have had that is coming to realization and it is a great feeling!!

So of course being an interior designer I can not wait to decorate and all week I have been putting together ideas. It is a very square space that we have and very industrial. The walls are white of course and the concrete floor is grey. This is a working studio that will have a lot of traffic...for this reason I think I will add a bit of colour...one accent colour (I would love yellow) plus lots of wood and metal. Take a look at some of the ideas I found....
