European glamour with its sparkly chandeliers, ornate gilded frames, carved wood furniture and stacks of old books is a style that always captivates me. Annie Brahler-Smith of Illinois-based design firm Euro Trash does this so very well. Rustic-luxe is such a beautiful thing.

I think if all we featured were Parisian flats, the world would be a better place. LOL! Here is yet another beauty located in this heavenly French city designed by Spanish interior designer Isabel López-Quesada. A pied-à-terre for the homeowners who clearly have a thing for modern art and Isabel has given it a funky boutique hotel feel. This has me feeling all the feels for that mustard yellow carpet in the living room. So simple yet it is the perfect dose of bold colour. (Photos: Ricardo Labougle)

I am totally in love with the unique, sometimes quirky style of Dallas, Texas-based interior designer Janet Gridley. She seems to be able to pull off a variety of styles and each space is absolutely gorgeous. She can even spell out words on a wall in painters tape and make it look fabulous.

Warm, neutral tones and wood are the theme in this apartment located 50 meters from Espinho beach in the city of Aveiro, Portugal. It is the home of artist Ana Morais and her work in macramé is no surprise given the earthy vibe of her home. Live what you love. 🙂 As featured on Histórias de Casa with photos by Alessandro Guimarães.

Last month I featured an edgy loft by interior designer Lukas Machnik and thought I would share another of his projects. This time the scene is quite different. A house on the beach in California is given a modern yet earthy with lots of creams, wood and black accents. Some mid-century modern classics are a reminder that this isn’t your average beach house. My favourite elements are the dining table and benches that he designed. Gorgeous!!
