More proof Jean Stoffer loves blue

Posted on Wed, 20 Jun 2018 by KiM

Once again Jean Stoffer Design shows her love of blue in this beautiful Michigan home. Alongside the blue, brass accents really glam things up and WHOA her tile choices are spot on here. And the exterior is absolutely gorgeous too as a bonus. All of the black detail really modernizes it.

Blue and grey

Posted on Mon, 18 Jun 2018 by KiM

I put it out there on Instagram over the weekend that I hate the colour blue. And because of that I repainted the walls in my kitchen from blue to a deep brownish red. Also to note I did comment that I occasionally come across a blue cabinet kitchen that I think works really well. This home featuring a blue cabinet kitchen by Michigan-based designer Jean Stoffer Design are one of those “works really well” situations. In fact throughout the home are accents in various shades of blue and I quite like it.

This is Weego enhancing the decor on a sunny spring afternoon. She’s a formerly feral rescue who has been almost totally tamed over 10 years. Her sister Harvie is probably splayed on the sofa out of sight.

Real estate stalking in Stockholm

Posted on Sun, 17 Jun 2018 by KiM

I spotted this fabulous and spacious apartment for sale in Stockholm via Lagerlings and had to share. The detail in the hardwood floors is TO DIE FOR, the moldings, the elegant bathrooms, the neutral colour scheme also have captured my heart. And for reasons I can’t quite figure out, I am obsessed with the curtains in the main living spaces.

A mid-century home of art collectors

Posted on Thu, 14 Jun 2018 by KiM

San Francisco designer Alison Damante calls this “New York minimalism meet Berkeley funk”. Here’s the scoop on this inspiring project: Recent East Coast transplants wanted a sparse, white backdrop for their expansive art collection, as well as an authentic design response to their mid-century home, with its bay views, exposed wood beams and original 1960’s cast concrete fireplace. Vibrant colors, handcrafted fixtures and modern furniture take cues from each installation, unifying the space and meshing art with life. I really dig this house. Everything about it architecturally is awesome, and then Alison kept the basics all in bright white so you can really change things up easily by swapping out the art/cushions/accent chairs etc. (Architecture: YamaMar Photography: Bruce Damonte)
