Black and White Modern

A very chic, modern home from Est Magazine that is completely done in black, white and grey. I love the use of the black tile on the wall in the kitchen and in the bathroom...and the back stove as well..so nice.

Well it is the start of a new week! Hope you all had a great long weekend and for those of you in Canada that celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope you had a lovely day with family and friends.

Pins of the Week: Bohemian

So what does it take to have a fabulous Bohemian apartment....well plenty of colour and some prints for sure. A lot of random accessories put in slightly odd places and mixed with other odd vintagey (I am making up words now) furniture and a general disregard for a specific style of decorating....In other words a creative sense of what you like and are not afraid to go for it! I love these rooms!

Have a great long weekend all!!

Industrial Style Reno

This soft industrial style is one I really like as it feels modern but is not too overdone or too cold. Lots of wood to keep the look warm with pretty vintage touches throughout. It doesn't really feel decorated but rather collected over time. I sort of feel that is how I decorated my own house and as I have said before you need to keep room for adding things you collect over time. A very pretty home and don't you love that little sunroom!

Tina K Home - Fall 2014

Each season I love to take a look at the Tina K Home catalogue...I always find it so inspiring and this fall is as good as they come. Warm purples and pinks with gold...love it! The styling is always brilliant and so are the locations for the shoot. Her line is full of great basics that are a must have and there is lots of wonderful Christmas goodies as well. I even put in my first holiday picture just to get you in the mood for the upcoming season...Is it really October already!!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Bathroom Tile

I had an interesting discussion with a friend about bathroom tiles last week.....it was around using large tiles or small and wall tiles or no wall tiles. Many of the bathrooms I have done have been with large clean white or grey tiles. With my last client we used tiles that look like wood and I thought it was an amazing choice to do something different and when I look at these tiles with all of the pattern and interest, I have to say why not do more like this. There are so many interesting choices right now for bathroom tiles that to stick with the tried and true is well.. a little boring don't you think? Would you be brave enought to use these tiles in a large bathroom and not just a powder room?

Swedish Beauty

This sweet apartment in Sweden is one I lingered over for an hour today. Sometimes I just get so entranced by a home and how renovations are thought out by the owner. What strikes me about this place is how meticulously it has been renovated but how it doesn't feel really new or overdone. Some things are left to feel old and match the turn of the century history of the apartment. The furnishings fit this home so well and each room flows into the next yet feels unique on their own. I love the library so much with the tall stacks of books the gallery wall and the gold chandelier....lovely.

Interior Courtyards

I showed the third picture in a post a couple of days ago and it got me thinking about interior courtyards. I love this idea of having an open space in the center of the living area. It creates a beautiful division in the property as well as opens up the entire home to a shadowy kind of light. Add a little garden or a lap pool and you have a incredibly special oasis.

Happy weekend all!

A Kid Size Room

What is so great about this kids room is that everything is made with the child in mind. It is very pretty with lovely pale colours and it feels very carefree and creative. Everything is accessible for the child such as the low blackboard, the mirror, the little couch.....so adorable! Of course the new beds for kids are amazing as they transition so well from baby to toddler and beyond. I wish they had these wonderful styles when my daughter was little!

Inspiration in White: Wow Kitchen

This renovated kitchen of the blogger/photographer Beth Kirby (Local Milk Blog) is a super wow....so many things to love about it...but the brass fittings are the best! I love them along with that amazing stove and the farm sink. This feels like a kitchen to really cook in with family and friends. Not over styled or too fussy with a old wood island I can not think of a better design for a country kitchen. Go to Remodelista to see many more pictures.. and go visit Beth's blog! I have been a super fan of hers for ages!!

Inspirational Converted Loft Space

This incredible former warehouse in Amsterdam is the home of a childrens wear designer (Gray Label) and an architect and interior designer (Flow). I have seen one or two of these pictures floating around on Pinterest but today was the first time I saw the whole loft and wow what a great space. The loft is built around a wonderful open courtyard that lets light into all of the rooms. The brick wall, the industrial feel and the natural materials used in this home all work so well together. This is really one of my favourite homes I have seen in a while....the kitchen is really perfect and with that amazing chandelier.... Very inspirational.
