Big. Brash. Pool. Splash.When your house is a showstopper your pool can’t be an afterthought. Brilliant Brazilian landscape design by São Paulo based Alex Hanazaki.

I love a good eat-in kitchen. Nothing too big or too fancy. Somewhere to create great food and great family memories. And I love this kitchen by Los Angeles based interior designer Amy Sklar. The floor, the moveable island bench, the mix of metals, the wall of pots and pans and those sweet little windows above the sink.

I dislike red in any application. This is the first time I have ever actually liked a red in an interior. Kudos to interior designer Christy Allen for finding this perfect shade – Benjamin Moore’s Soft Glow, a coral red with pink undertones. It’s stunning with the artwork and fiddle leaf fig tree. 

Apartment living really isn’t for me (at least while I live in Ottawa where houses are as affordable as condos) but the units in this building in Stockholm are spectacular. Originally a residential building, then converted into offices, the crew at Oscar Properties are lovingly restoring the structure back into apartments. Turn of the century architecture, with sophisticated luxurious spaces that have a Parisian vibe. This first kitchen is SO dreamy. The cabinetry colour, marble, gold and copper accents…YUM.
P.S. I am short on pet entries this week – if you would like to submit photos please send them to kim[at]desiretoinspire[dot]net. Thanks!
