Italian Farmhouse

Oh yes I do love this look...feels just like Southern France with a view that is pure Italy. The lamps, the bed and oh that kitchen. Looks like a Le Cornue stove to me! Wonderful tile throughout the home that adds just the right amount of rustic, don't you think. This lovely home is the work of photographer Enrique Menossi. I just love his work. Go and take a look at his website to see his amazing interiors or check out another home here on this post..

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Shabby Christmas Cottage

Well here it is, my first Christmas post! I know it is not even December and it is Thanksgiving Day for my friends in the south but it snowed the past couple of days so I am feeling like the holidays are just around the corner! This house is a great first Christmas post...too many good things to mention, the lamp in the kitchen, the painted floor, warm furs in the living room and of course..the tub! Loving the bathroom and of course the bedroom.

Hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family..xx

Wonderful Walls

This house has great walls...well..and furniture and just about everything. What I really love is the grey colour on the walls mixed with the white trim (gorgeous!) and the colour of the kitchen is amazing as well. Then there are the beautiful wallpapers, grey in the bedroom (another one of those beds I posted about here!) and bright green in the dining room...there is so much texture in this house..love the double sided fireplace with the stove as well. 

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Room Dividers

An open concept home or loft is always beautiful but sometimes you just need to create the feeling or illusion of a separate space. There are so many interesting ways to divide a room apart from the usual screen and below are just a few I found. I love a really open divider between a living room and dining room or hallway....perhaps an open shelving unit or glass doors. For a little more privacy a curtain or full screen made of wood or even wood slats is fun and lets the light filter through. Shutter or old doors also look great for a nice vintage touch. I have been looking for studio and found a great open loft space today and I am sure I could use some of these ideas to help divide the space. I am looking forward to it!

Enjoy!

Sophisticated Shabby Decor

What can I say about this house...so many good things....it is really fabulous! Sophisticated yet shabby it has all the elements I love in a white home. Great floors, painted in some rooms and some with the original wood colour, antique and vintage furnishings and architectural elements and an easy unstructured kitchen with a Smeg fridge! What about that amazing kids room....so creative and fun. Love it!

Hope you are having a great weekend! It is getting cold in Montreal and we even had a few flakes of snow today! 

Enjoy!

Stylish Apartment in Sweden

Take a look at this apartment in Malmo, Sweden built in 1904. Such gorgeous ceilings and moldings, fabulous curved doorways and what an amazing floor! Love this place..the decorating is modern and simple with fun lighting and accessories and super styling. Do you like the green in the kitchen? I think it's fun and adds a great shot of colour. It has a rather different feeling than the rest of the apartment..a bit more country..but still has a great look. 

Enjoy!

White & Light

This is one of those amazing homes that feels so light and yet so cozy. It is modern with concrete floors, thin furniture and two toned white walls (which I think are so amazing!!) and wonderful touches of vintage here and there.  The pillows in the master bedroom are cute with the strings tied together...and the kids room is super fun as well. The owner of this home is a photographer and she says she often uses it for photo shoots..so it is a great family and work space. Really gorgeous details throughout!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Black and White in Fashion and Home

Here are a few of my favourite Pins this week...So loving all the black and white I have been finding lately in fashion and in home decor. It must be the time of year because I am really wanting to add black to my all white home and add white into my all black wardrobe, even in winter. So fun to mix things up a bit don't you think?

I have been working super hard in the studio these days with ceramic orders and I have even been testing a bit of black on my white ceramics...just for a change. I will show you a few pieces when I feel they are where I want them to be. Take a look at some of these great ideas...

 

My daughter, Chloe Crane-Leroux, is a photographer and this is one of her photoshoots. Check out her website..

Enjoy!

Easy California

This is a lovely beach home in California. Wonderful whites, blues and neutral colours. Rattan with wood and stone...the perfect mix of easy natural materials that create an comfortable, cozy environment. I really love the red and white bedroom! The views are really incredible.....ahh yes I will keep posting summer homes all winter just to remind me that spring will come!!

Enjoy!

Muskoka Living

Muskoka Living is a 25,000 sq ft retail and design space in Port Carling, Ontario. This is just one of the homes from their website and there are many more just as beautiful! Oh I really love this place! It is really just what I would want in a country home...or any home for that matter! So fresh and light, antiques and vintage and of course a car ( a Porche, not just a car) in the house. The choice of creamy whites and bright whites is just perfect with a touch of black and some shiny silver and grey. This should get your weekend off to a great start! 

Enjoy!
