Two floors of French fabulousness in this apartment by Paris design duo RMGB. On the upper level are kitchen, dining and living areas with a mezzanine reached by a ladder, all tucked into the building’s eaves. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom with exposed beams. Minimal, modern lines with custom joinery and beautiful oak floors, all united with the perfect shade of grey.

I have featured projects by Vancouver’s Fox Design Studio in the past (here, here and here) and I continue to marvel at their talents at creating contemporary, eye-catching, spaces with incredible attention to detail. Each room in this home shares a similar colour palette of greys and white with touches of black and then pops of blue. It’s a soothing, relaxing vibe that flows throughout this beautiful, rustic home. I want those sheep statues on my porch too!

It’s like a stage, a theatre set for living. In the centre of this 75m2 apartment in the 6th Arrondissement of Paris sits a black box. Within lies the sleeping chamber of this edgy and moody home. Equally as interesting is the kitchen, laboratory like, waiting for its culinary chemist. Stylish French living by Agence Marie Deroudilhe.

How comfortable does the Santa Barbara home of interior stylist Elizabeth D Burns (edb designs) look? Stylish, welcoming, relaxed, you just want to settle in and make it your own. With white walls and pale wood floors, the beachy accent palette as well as treasured objects add interest and warmth. Large windows allow the sun to stream in and views of the lovely garden to be enjoyed. Definitely an “in and out” house with outdoor living areas increasing the house’s entertaining footprint.

In need of a little Tuesday pick-me-up? A break from the everyday? A virtual vacay in paradise? As much as I would love to be on a plane headed to Saint-Tropez to brush up on my French and my faded tan and relax, I will take this dose of eye candy of Les Parcs designed by Mis-en scène 40. Glorious! You’ll probably find me on the premises drooling over those cactuses, or lounging on one of those Bertoia Bird chairs. (A couple more features on this firm here and here)
