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....

Salvage Chic

This country retreat of Paige and Smoot Hull started out as a getaway place near Round Top for the couple. To help with the mortgage they started to rent out their salavage filled home as a vacation rental. Before too long their vacationing clients wanted to purchase items from their home and just like that they became antique dealers. Their home has got the most amazing vintage pieces from screen doors over the fireplace to an old door as a headboard. The memo board is a bed spring and the fan cover over the stove is a metal awning. Super inventive recycling of materials and so well styled inside the home.

Tuscan Style in Australia

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

I love the feeling of this Tuscan style home on the Kingsbrook Estate in Southern Australia. Much of the furniture has been made by the owner and he has given it just the right amount of rustic charm. My favourite part of the home though is the outdoors. The covered patio, that is really more like an outdoor living room and of course the stone terrace is so beautiful as well. Feels a lot like Italy to me!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Enjoy!

Small Space, Big Design

There is nothing in this modern house but pure design...no furniture, no accessories to talk about but I find it incredibly beautiful. The way it is built, how the light is allowed into the space and the simplicity of the design make this home by Japanese architect Kenjo Ido really something to see. I love how the walls have space in between them to allow the light from the roof top terrace to flow through the house and with the slanted walls and openings, create beautiful light patterns throughout the home. The stairs are another great feature as is the concrete kitchen island and bathroom with a sunken tub....wow!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Stylish Storage

I never seem to have enough storage in my home for anything..I mean my dishes are stuffed into my kitchen cupboards and I have not one but two buffets in my dining room to hold even more. My towels seem to fall on the floor when I open the linen closet from lack of space and well, don't open any of my bathroom drawers! I love the armoires, shelving and buffets in these photos that make storage, stylish and easy. Most of the furniture in these photos could go in any room and look great. I could use them all!!

Home by the Sea

I really love this home by the sea from Remodelista (fabulous website you should follow!). There is so much I like here it is hard to know where to start but I think it really is about the mix of fabrics, vintage and otherwise, that does it for me. I use a lot of vintage fabrics in my own home and I cannot get enough. They bring so much warmth to a table or a room I think I would layer my rooms with even more if I could. The beautiful combination of reds and blues throughout the home, the textures of all the furnishings and accessories from wood to metal to leather. So well done and so natural in the space..

Stone Cottage

This 19th century stone cottage in Southern Australia has really lovely details inside and outside the home. I just love the covered porch outside and of course all of the architectural details on the inside. Wonderful ceilings and moldings throughout the space make each room really special! The kitchen is also really fun with the blue dishes and the monogram on the door...I have never seen that before but what a cute idea!

Hope you have a great weekend planned!

Danish Cottage

This wonderful Danish home of jewellery designer Charlotte Lynnggard has been finished with the most luxurious and beautiful materials but what is most interesting is the story behind it. Every time Charlotte passed the cottage on the way to visit her mother-law, she and her husband would peer longingly at the home they refered to as the "Tea Rose House". Formally belonging to a Swedish actress, they finally bought their dream home and moved in on their wedding night. Renovating the home with a minimalist, light touch they have now lived there for 18 years. Beautiful home, romantic story....

California Ranch Style Home

 

This fixer upper was just what designer Kelley Motschenbacher was looking for when she and her husband began looking for a country home. They created a beautiful and comfortable space filled with white furniture and colourful accents. Gorgeous white sofas slip-covered with vintage French linens make the upkeep easy even with a big golden lab! I really love the desk area with the wonderful shelving and the amazing lamp and the bedroom wall lamps are also really great. There are so many perfect vintage pieces in this space that add wonderful texture like the rattan coffee table and the wooden basket she uses as a table in the bedroom. Add a few rag and sisal rugs and you have the perfect place to relax and unwind on the weekends!
