Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 22 Jan 2022 by midcenturyjo

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Jeweler Vever’s showroom by Laurence Simoncini Décoration.

A hidden gem

The designer calls the project Printemps or Spring. I call it the jewel box and hidden within is such a precious treasure for Paris’ 17th arrondissement, a lush almost tropical garden. By Laurence Simoncini Décoration.

On a mission

Posted on Fri, 21 Jan 2022 by midcenturyjo

“The project reflects and celebrates the current mood of formality and grandeur, authenticity and age in the face of social media fame and laidback luxury fatigue, setting a new standard for interior decoration and legacy architecture.”

Legacy architecture. I really like that idea. Mission Statement by Sydney-based Studio Kate.

A charming holiday cottage

Posted on Thu, 20 Jan 2022 by KiM

Now this is a cottage vibe I can get behind! Whimsical, a bit country but with some more modern touches, super casual and relaxed where no one cares if you forgot to take your shoes off. Bridlepath Berkshire holiday cottage designed by Turner Pocock.

A very open concept Brooklyn loft

Posted on Thu, 20 Jan 2022 by KiM

Designer Jenny Dina Kirschner of JDK Interiors bought a 1,400 square foot studio loft in Brooklyn with 30-foot ceilings and renovated it top to bottom, creating a wonderfully bright and very much open space for her and her family (result was 2,000 sq feet with an 1,100 square foot rooftop terrace). Now this is loft living at its finest. I adore her massive statement chandelier that once hung in a church in Amsterdam, and how her office turns easily into a guest room thanks to a handy murphy bed. (Photos: Ryan Dausch)
