Maddalena Cannarsa of extrArchitecture is an Italian architect living in London and this is her recently refurbished flat. Love the light and the period features. Those floors! That wall of wooden windows! A beautiful, fresh Euro/white meets Victorian period features home with splashes of red to heighten the warmth of the wood. Maddalena has cleverly tidied up the wasted space in the original layout allowing her the luxury of a walk in robe in a relatively small one bedroom flat. Wonderful, warm and white.

I thought I’d share a little peek into the portofolio of Swedish decorator and stylist Ewa Björnsdotter. I’m always a fan of black furniture – and this post makes me want to grab a can of black paint and paint something. As a matter of fact, I’ve convinced myself to paint this chair black. It resides in my bedroom and since I brought home some black and white items from Ikea the other day for that space the chair totally needs to go black now. 

Loving these photos and spaces, captured by Italian photographer Angelita Bonetti who now calls Australia home. Not sure why but they make me crave Spring something fierce. (It’s slowly coming to Ottawa….sloooooooowly).

I loved the last home by Californian interior designer Chris Barrett that I had to visit her portfolio again. Another stylish dwelling but with more of a mix of history and layers of living, the travelled life, a smidgen of boho, an artistic eye and a collection of precious objects gathered over a life well lived. Perfect recipe for a lovely home I think.

I’m late! I’m late! I’m late with my posting but… aaaahhhh… deep breath… time to immerse in the casual elegance of this home designed by Californian Chris Barrett. Colour, light, scale, texture and beautiful layering. Calm and chic and simply wonderful!
