OMG I love this loft (apparently that of designer Paola Navone)! The row of windows, the original wood flooring, the modular kitchen separated my a row of tall cabinets, the white painted stone, the massive sofa and table to fit my entire family!!!! (Via Jean-Marc Palisse)

Moody, dramatic and captivating. I would say these 3 words accurately describe the incredible interior photography of Jean-Marc Palisse. WHOA – I just noticed the flooring in the second photo. How freaking brilliant to use 2 different types of wood.

Hanging pallet bed, shutter wall, workbench vanity. Simple upcycling adds another layer to this showcase room by Barasona Design.

(Truth be told I have an obsession with collecting images of pallet beds like collecting church conversions. A decorating tic perhaps.)

It’s rustic and earthy, colourful and casually chic. Can simple and stylish be seriously sexy? I’m daydreaming of bikinis and bare feet, too much rosé at lunch and a long siesta with my lover (don’t tell my husband). A beach cabana by Portuguese interior designer Vera Iachia. Summer time and the living is easy.

I grew up having it drilled in my head that you NEVER EVER wear shoes in the house. And I still believe that. Because I don’t want the dog shit you just stepped on smeared on my antique kilim. Bring some cute little slippers/flats when I invite you over. Maybe one of these days I’ll just stencil it on the floor like above. 

Love the setup of these bookcases. The first photo is just a freaking food pantry, yet everything is so well organized you almost have to look twice to realize it’s not just some knick knacks on display. And the second photo shows how stacking books in small piles makes it look sculptural and more interesting graphically.
