It’s an Edwardian piece of architecture, situated in the suburb of West London, which has been transformed into a multicolored living space. A new extension was developed, taking the Edwardian elegantly proportioned spaces to a modern extreme. Continue reading →

Who doesn’t dream of traveling the world in search of unique and exotic items? On Sailor’s Island, Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil, a summer house was created for family and guests. The look and feel of its eclectic interior design is gorgeous, featuring colorful rugs, modern candle holders and lighting fixtures, traditional pieces of art, while here and there you can also spot classic suitcases which enhance the concept of travel and exploration.

Using the words pastel and power, the one next to the other might sound a little odd, pastels being mostly correlated with sweetness, calmness, innocence and often a feminine or even “girly” mood. Lately though, more and more interior trends are emphasizing the indeed powerful impact pastel touches can have when incorporated in modern homes. It’s all a matter of the right mix, the right amounts and there you have it! The gorgeous home residence I’m sharing here with you today has been sitting in my folders as a “good example of a mix of pastels used in an overall architecturally and chromatically minimal space.

Sukha Amsterdam shop is on the top three list of favorites by talented blogger and interior stylist Desire, a “tough lady” with an exquisite approach to design and great taste in shopping. Through reading her blog Vosges Paris, I got myself familiar to this concept store (which despite my five visits in the city of canals and bicycles the past few years is still waiting patiently on my list of ” awesome places to see”). At Sukha, the interior changes a few times around the year, proving how capable and inspired the styling team working there is. Continue reading →

For the Asplund family that lives in Stockholm, Scandinavian design is something more than just a superb way of arranging their living environment. As owners of their own furniture store, named after their family, the Asplund store, they have incorporated in their home’s design many of the elements available in their store. Scandinavian design therefore is indeed for them a way of life, both in professional and personal spectrum. Characteristic cabinets, carpets, lights, chairs and carefully selected decoration and kitchen objects all are combined together to make up a very individual, inviting and functional space.

Are you ready for yet another visit to a gorgeous property? This time we are flying to {well, unless you are already located there!} the north of Sweden geographically and chronologically back to the 18th century. A fabulous combo don’t you think? This rustic farmhouse has been carefully and so beautifully renovated by the owners and the architects and designers they hired, in order to keep intact some of its charm dating back to the years, while becoming modern and functional for the needs of a rather large family.

“Paris is always a good idea” said lovely Audrey Hepburn. She was far from wrong and this is why I’m sharing here with you another Parisian home residence. This time it is a modern atelier located north of the city. It belongs to interior designer Marianne Evennou and her husband Frank Evennou, who is an artist. Both their identities are reflected throughout the whole place, as art meets design and interior architecture in such a fabulous way. Continue reading →

My husband and I have been living by the woods since a little bit more than a year, have I ever mentioned that here? It can be miraculously beautiful and charming I have to admit, like living in a different epoch, so long as one is willing to pay attention to all the changes happening throughout the year, as seasons pass. Mostly visual changes, but also hearing and smell ones, not to mention of course the taste, which is at its peak during summer with all the berries the forest has to offer.

However, the forest I’m sharing with you here today is not one that changes as seasons alter. It is the same all year long, but equally magnificent day after day in its gorgeous conception. This marvelous, enormous dining room you are seeing here, is the cafeteria area in the Cidade da Cultura de Galicia, designed by Spanish architects Estudio Nomada. Continue reading →

I’m excited to share with you this next project – the design of which is truly refined. The house of Meryl and Ed Mandelbaum charms at the very first sight, having the perfect location – nestled in the beautiful Berkshires on a lake side and the edge of a forest.

This 2.900 sq. ft. home combines local identity, modern approach and absolutely unique features. What I like most about the house is that its interior design seems to blend traditional with contemporary, floating somewhere in between… Continue reading →

This is a project set forth to bring lots of smiles for sure! Melbourne based Candy Room is way beyond your regular experience of a candy shop, which speaks of the company’s anyway innovative idea, this of offering sugar free sweets, which are though sweet enough.

Sweet Enough is in fact the name of the importer who decided to set up a store in order to serve more than the need of customers to purchase something sweet while healthy at the same time. They wanted to encourage customers to spend as much time exploring their shop, as much as actually shopping. They wished to create an experience for the clients that they wouldn’t forget.
