When unexpected styles collide. A fabulous home designed by Seattle-based Brio Interior Design. A 1940’s home where the client’s mother spent her teenage years was purchased from the grandfather’s estate shortly after his passing. The purchase and renovation were a way to reinvent history by making an old home new again for the young family who decided the house carried too many precious memories to be sold to the next highest bidder. Perched atop a generously sized waterfront lot in north Seattle with panoramic views of the Puget Sound, the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic mountain range, the aesthetic of the home is classic meets modern and eclectic. It’s fun, colorful and whimsical. Perfect for a family that dines most days together in a formal dining room around a table that family members have gathered at for decades to celebrate the best things in life.

I don’t typically use an adjective like ‘pretty’ to describe a kitchen but it’s the first word that came to mind when I saw this space designed by San Francisco and Portland based Caitlin Wilson. Marble subway tile, mostly white cabinets, brass, pastel accents…I can’t help it. SO PRETTY! 

Whether it’s a sense of drama or a feeling of comfort this NY apartment by Samuel Amoia will meet your design needs. From striking one off pieces to oversized and over-comfy sofas, from circle motifs to sawtooth stripes the open plan living is stylish and sophisticated.

I have fallen in love with this stunning Victorian Arts and Crafts style location home in London. 6,000 sq ft, 5 bedrooms, lots of period features, the kitchen of my dreams (all 700 sq ft of it!), fireplaces in what seems like every room….I can’t imagine having so much space to decorate. I started with photos of the kitchen because you cannot miss this. Dreamy!!! Via Shoot Factory.

Happy Friday everyone! Hope the weather is going to be beautiful where you are and you’re able to enjoy some sun and warmth (thankfully that would be tomorrow here in Ottawa). I thought this lovely home designed by Venice, California-based Marissa Cramer of MADE CO. would be a great way to end off the work week. Such cozy and inviting spaces that have a bit of a beachy chic vibe and are quite timeless. Love the dark blue walls in the living room.
