A boat dock

This is the coolest boat dock I have ever seen. As soon as I found it I sent it to my sister and brother-in-law who have a cottage, knowing they'd get a kick out of it. Via Texas architecture firm Bercy Chen Studio.

The rounded edges of the dock peel away, allowing more of the landscape to be captured into the visual frame.

A big thanks to Lisa for sending us this link to a real estate listing in Rosemont, Montréal. This home has got to be haunted! While it needs a SERIOUS amount of TLC, the woodwork is to die for - check out the interior doors! And those chandeliers! The bedroom is my favourite - SPOOKY!

It is a completely renovated 3 story apartment created by Parisian interior architect and designer Carlos Pujol. It is oozing with creativity and whimsy, from the eyeglasses chandelier, to the paint chip staircase, the mass of pendants in the kitchen and pinups in the bathroom. This is definitively not taking interior design too seriously. :)
