A glamorous contemporary kitchen by Toronto based interiors studio Estee Design. Sleek modern lines,bespoke timber cabinetry and a splash of kitchen bling with glass and brass feature shelving. You all know I have a thing for beautifully designed kitchen sand this one is ticking all my boxes.

With 10 days to go to Christmas I thought I would try to add a bit more festive vibes to the blog (since neither Jo nor I partake in any Christmas decorating) with this beautiful 49 sq m apartment in Sweden dolled up for the holidays. Home of 20 year old decorator Simon Olsson, it’s a delicious melange of white, grey and black and is filled with vintage finds. So cozy and the sparse pine trees and lighting really make it special. Via sköna hem.

It’s like I say week in, week out. If you have to drag yourself into work (or school) on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Co-working space at Caulfield Grammar School by Studio Tate.

After 30 years of stale decor and small rooms, Gramercy Design took this 1400 sq ft Lower Fifth Avenue apartment to a whole other lofty level by opening it and making it conducive to entertaining. The kitchen is the money shot. So simple yet perfectly executed in a fairly small space. Stashing that photo in my inspiration folder.

It had been a while since we heard from architect and interior designer Alex Calin of Space Casuals (there was this project), so I was stoked to see what he’s been working on lately. This 1930s modernist home in Bucharest was thoughtfully restored with attempts to maintain original details whenever possible. The whole story is about recovering and restoring an initially lost image. The small details, the kitchen table, the door fragment that became a bed sheet, another old existing door transformed into a hall mirror, the countertops of the bathroom sinks made from damaged pieces of furniture all complete this effort and the care to preserve and restore.
