I spotted this 45mapartment on the real estate site Lagerlings and wanted to share as this is such a telling example of what architectural details can do to trick the eye into believing a space is not as it as it appears. In this case tall ceilings and dramatic windows make the space appear larger. Even with the addition of a crittall-style bedroom separation it provides an air of grandeur. Gorgeous!!!

Working on a Saturday

It’s like I say time and time again. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. St Agni James Street by Triibe.

Jessica Leigh Interiors

Posted on Fri, 15 Nov 2019 by KiM

Toronto-based Jessica McGouran of Jessica Leigh Interiors is a new-to-me designer and I’m so glad I found her. After perusing her portfolio I was quite smitten with her eye for the graphic (via colour, pattern and texture) and her eclectic yet timeless outlook on interiors.

I love it when designers embrace their creativity and develop really unconventional spaces without boundaries. This home may be modern and polished but it has such character and whimsy in some subtle and not-so-subtle doses. Mona Ross Berman may have gone where no designer has gone before, but she rocked this project.

Monte da Palmeira

Posted on Thu, 14 Nov 2019 by midcenturyjo

White washed walls, bamboo ceilings, dark wood furniture, collectables, textiles from around the world and straw rugs beneath your feet. Add sun drenched private terraces, lush green gardens and alfresco dining by the pool. Fancy a getaway to the Algave? A little rustic luxury at Monte da Palmeira perhaps.
