Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 6 Apr 2024 by midcenturyjo

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. The Rubinstein Group, a Real Estate Agency, by Esoteriko.

“A full interior and exterior renovation of a c.1905 federation cottage and converted stables outbuilding. The extensive renovation aims to blur the line between old and new, original and reinterpreted. Respecting its federation past, the renovation provides a contemporary overlay that honours decorative ornamentation and materials familiar to the federation era. Interior colour, decoration and furniture selections were inspired by the extensive collection of art painted by our client over a number of years. “

Red stove and yellow walls

Posted on Tue, 26 Mar 2024 by KiM

The apartment has a clock chip in a partial enfilade and is located in the attic of a tenement house dating back to 1905. A marble fireplace constitutes the central part of the interior. A hand-painted ceiling refers to the Dutch painting. The walls are covered with wooden panels. Single herringbone pattern of the wooden floor is painted in white. The apartment is furnished with originally designed furniture and furniture systems which are tailor-made according to a design. (Some of this might not be translating correctly from Polish)
This project by Polish architect and colour designer Karolina Rochman-Drohomirecka is titled “Red Stove” but I think it really needs to be “Red Stove and Yellow Walls”. The graphic trim in the kitchen with the fun red stove, the lemon yellow central area with the gorgeous painted floral design on the black ceiling are really making a statement. Though I will admit I am 100% not on board with the white painted herringbone wood floor (whyyyyyyyyy?????).

Cottagecore but make it dark

I would expect Sean Anderson to take a cabin, cottage, weekend retreat like this one (located in Lake Martin, Alabama) and give it cottagecore vibes but with his own dark and dramatic twist. He did just that and WOW this is soooo incredibly cozy and chic. Bet you never saw plaid looking so fine. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

The Schoolhouse

Posted on Fri, 28 Jul 2023 by KiM

The Schoolhouse, merges old and new, combining contemporary details within conservation architecture. This family home blends dynamic and vibrant elements with understated and timeless spaces, designed to feel as though it has been permanently embedded in the historic building. Our challenge was to create an inviting, emotive atmosphere that captivates those who live there and takes them on a experiential journey.
In typical Kingston Lafferty Design fashion, this home is high drama, drenched in bold colour, full of graphic, shapely elements and I was completely sold when I got to the sunken living room. Photos: Barbara Corsico, and for more details check out est living.
