A pink sofa. A beaded chandelier. Oversized floral Ellie Cashman wallpaper. Sexy brass legs. All the makings of a glamorous and feminine space. This beautiful Santa Monica townhome is by L.A. based Ashley Scott of Scout Modern.

A touch of modern industrial in the rural Spanish town of Fonolleres is what I am sharing today. Because that combo sounds ideal and after devouring these photos it looks ideal too. Concrete floors, white washed pine (?), black steel beams and windows, some really gorgeous subway tiles and a pool has rendered me smitten.

Didier Ryan of British architecture firm Undercurrent Architects worked some magic on this warehouse conversion to create an absolutely fabulous loft. What was once a furniture depot for the renowned department store Harrods is now modern, unfussy and spacious. Featuring windows I would do just about anything for.

What I would do to be able to hire an architecture firm as talented as Dan Gayfer Design to design me a dream house. Like this one. Somewhat inspired by American Ranch style architecture with its picture windows, gabled rooflines and far-reaching single storey floor plan, the buildings careful orientation encompasses 180 degrees of views whilst protecting the exterior living spaces from prevailing winds that can sweep across the property. The views are part of the design and its aesthetic; they are not borrowed but practically stolen from the surrounding landscape to become part of the interior. This is Ceres House.

If you love the colour blue, then this Georgian four story townhome in Holland Park by London-based architecture and interior design firm Studio Indigo is for you. Multiple shades of blue can be found in just about every room of this home. I love that they’ve maintained many of the original details in this home during renovations and have updated it to be current and functional. And as not a big fan of blue, I may now be converted. 🙂
