Mas de Bigot

Posted on Fri, 12 Oct 2018 by KiM

Mas de Bigot is an absolutely beautiful 18th century hideaway in Saint Rémy de Provence. A “concept art home” designed by Gérard Faivre that is available for sale – fully renovated and decorated. It is 600 m², on 10 hectares that includes a lake, an olive grove, and a forest with a cabin. I think I’m in love! Anyone want to go halfsies on it? 🙂




Black + blue + green in an architect’s home

Posted on Wed, 10 Oct 2018 by KiM

We are the biggest fans of Paris architecture firm double g so it comes as no surprise that I adore the home of Anne Geistdoerfer (one half of the firm alongside Flora de Gastines). All of the built in shelving blows my mind (2 posts in a row!), and the colour palette of black, blue and green is dramatic and really beautiful. (Details on the space can be found in this article)

Brooktree residence by Marmol Radziner

Posted on Wed, 10 Oct 2018 by KiM

California-based, multi-disciplinary firm Marmol Radziner was responsible for the architecture and interiors of this simple yet really beautiful home in Los Angeles. The main house of this Rustic Canyon residence sits between two single-story concrete block structures that contain a guest bedroom suite and an artist’s studio and garage. The positioning of the house at the exterior edge of the site optimizes natural light and backyard views of the surrounding oak canopy. I have to admit, I for some reason am totally blown away with how they designed the shelving on the side of the stairs that has the table integrated into it. Saved that to my inspiration folder!

The Emerald

Posted on Mon, 8 Oct 2018 by KiM

The Emerald is an Art Nouveau house in the centre of Prague consisting of 13 flats designed in 5 different styles, that are available for short term rentals. The old world feel in these spaces is absolutely magical, and the textured walls are like works of art. How I would love to visit Prague and stay in such a beautiful environment. (Thank you again Bára!)

The look she gives me when I’m leaving for work on a Saturday.💗🐶 . If you saw my story yesterday then you saw this gorgeous rattan and cane loveseat that I saw for sale but passed up because we simply don’t have room for it. It took all my powers of restraint but I’m pretty proud of myself. . This small victory represents something so much larger. . Today I’m lifting the veil on a bit of shame I carry around. . I’ve lived most of my adult life in debt. I’m a reformed shopaholic and have always indulged my whims—clothes, home furnishings, life experiences. If I wanted it, I got it. And when you get deep enough into debt (like over your head) your mindset becomes—“what’s one more thing, I’m so in debt anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️” . So imagine when I stumbled into this Instagram world of perfection. Well then I just had to find new goodies to change things up and sometimes it was cloaked in —“got this at a thrift store and it didn’t cost all that much so it’s no big deal”. Or I was given products to promote for a small business. . Before I knew it, we were swimming in stuff. . And some of you have been following for awhile and know that I’ve been cleaning out and purging. Learning to live with enough is the new way of being satisfied. So I window shop. And the rattan beauty was a fun moment to marvel at. . And while our home will never be the poster child of #lagom —that is my new guiding force. . What is your small victory? I’d love to cheer you on! . . . . . . . #stellarspaces #sadieslovelylife #apartmenttherapy #howyouhome #designsponge #sodomino #houseplantsofinstagram #urbanjunglebloggers #calivibes #surfshack #inmydomaine #myinterior #elledecor #interior4you1 #bohemianstyle #bohemiandecor #myhousebeautiful #mybhg #hgtvhome #jungalowstyle #thenewbohemians #ggathome #anthropologiehome #anthrohome #mywestelm #nationaldogday #dogsofinstagram #iplanteven

It's been really hard not to post like 15 shots of the bedroom this week 😂🙈 but I can't help sharing this one because well, Quito – as usual – sort of steals the show here ❤️🐶❤️. Of course, one of my favourite aspects of this new design is the @madedotcom bed 😍- I adore it and I'm going to be sharing loads of my favourites from their website tomorrow on the blog! It's definitely become one of my favourite spots for affordable design over the last couple of years 💕In the meantime, if you haven't yet seen the bedroom makeover then you can click on the link in my profile and this image to be taken straight to the post! #sp . . . https://www.swoonworthy.co.uk/2018/08/jungle-glam-bedroom-makeover.html/ . . . #swoonworthy #bedroom #bedroomdesign #beforeandafter #bedroominspo #bedroomgoals #bohoglam #glamourous #interiordesign #interiordesignideas #designsponge #interiorboom #styleithappy #livefabulousandfearless #luxuryinteriorsonabudget #howyouhome #suyhome #lonnyliving #ihavethisthingwithpink #abmlifeiscolorful #eclecticdecor

Imagine being THIS good at modelling but never getting paid for it!? Though imagine an Italian greyhound on the Kleenex ads – he’d have stuck his little needle feet through the toilet paper instantly and then sat quivering in fear when the toilet roll rolled away. They’re basically the Edward Scissorhands (also an unemployable model) of the dog world, minus the ability to make beautiful ice sculptures. Gosh I love Edward Scissorhands, and dogs. Happy Friday everyone! . . . . #colourmyhome #bhghome #moreismoredecor #walltowallstyle #dspets #thenewbohemians #mycovetedhome #thriftedhome #dtipetsonfurniture #thisiswhyihavetothriftshopeveryday #flashesofdelight #cosyupyourworld #showusyourhygge #howwedwell #mycreativeinterior #myvintageabode #allthingsmetric #myinteriorvibe #pocketofmyhome #myhomevibe #eclectichomemix #mystylishspace #eclecticstyle #apartmenttherapy #styleithappy #stellarspaces #interiormilk

I would like to share with you the last photo I took my old friend Diesel. She is about to turn 12 and as an old lady she enjoys very much her nap on our Eames lounge chair. Look how peaceful she looks 😉
Carmen (Salamanca, Spain)

It’s taken me ages to get a good picture of our other cat, Margaux, for Pets on Furniture. Margaux doesn’t hang out on the furniture as much as Pinot. Probably because she likes to sleep on the cable box in the TV room/den, which is always warm. But here’s Margaux in the master bedroom on the wicker chair. She waits here in the morning sometimes while I am getting ready.

And some from me. Bernie napping on the cat sofa (they’re on it WAY more than me) and Phoebe hanging out in the Tuft & Paw cat bed.
