Ancient modern

Posted on Wed, 15 Dec 2021 by KiM

A modern villa in Florida filled with antique materials and collected objects.  The villa is frequently used for large events and gatherings and our goal was to create an indoor-outdoor lifestyle with a refined yet relaxed aesthetic, a place where one would be equally as comfortable in a gown as barefoot. I love the natural colour palette, casual and somewhat tropical vibe. I’d love to do something like this in a hacienda in Mexico 🙂 Architect: John Lamb with all Interior Architecture by Lauren Liess & Co, Builder: Adam Baker

Studio Laloc roundup

Posted on Mon, 13 Dec 2021 by KiM

Back in July Jo featured a scullery designed by Studio Laloc. And I have been obsessed with the idea of having a scullery ever since. (So handy and such a cute space to decorate!) In honour of this small room of rooms that I cannot get out of my head, here are some more beautiful spaces by Lauren Lothrop Caron.

Simple and sexy

When minimalism is sexy. Crumpled linen, faux fur, marble, red copper, crsytal, textured black wall, brass…. *sigh*. Brussels apartment designed by Æ Studio. (Check out previous features from this studio here and here)

Kasteel van ‘s-Gravenwezel

Posted on Sun, 12 Dec 2021 by KiM

How could I continue with castle Sundays without featuring the Belgian castle of legendary designer and art/antiques dealer Axel Vervoordt. Kasteel van ’s-Gravenwezel dates back to the 12th century and represents Axel’s style to its core – minimalist and appear seemingly untouched over time. Axel has perfected the ability to create environments that look found, not made. It is earthy, warm, textured, worn and about as magical as a castle can get.
