Back in June ’14 Jo featured the really beautiful Hicks Street townhouse by New York firm Kevin Darkan Architect. I thought today I would share the Hicks Street carriage house. This totally changes my perspective on what a carriage house is. This ain’t no outbuilding! WHOA! The painted brick, exposed ceiling beams, skylight, and ah mah gawd the kitchen!! What a dream home! (Speaking of dream homes, I’m trying to convert mine into something I can maybe call a dream one day – check out my next post in a few hours. Slowly but surely I’m filling it with things I love.)

there’s something about long linen curtains puddling on concrete floors…..

there’s something about a random chair in a corner sitting on original hardwood flooring…

there’s something about an unmade bed and an almost bare wall…

Stunning. Line Klein.

I am experiencing shortness of breath, heart palpitations and excessive drooling over these glorious photos by Copenhagen-based photographer Line Klein. Not only is each space heavenly, Line has captured their beauty in the most perfect way, at the perfect angle, in perfect light.

Now if this isn’t the prettiest fiddle leaf fig I ever saw 🙂

I have been a huge fan of New York architecture & interior design firm Ashe + Leandro for years (see here and here for the last couple of features) so I thought it time for an update. Here are a couple of their latest projects. I love that they share my obsession of brass fixtures (that kitchen below is so cute!) and that they really just do their own thing, and aren’t all about trends. (Photos: Fran Parente)

I wanted to share another project by Hauvette & Madani that I am totally in love with. I am not really a fan of the colour turquoise but OMG it works really well in this apartment. With lots of black and white to keep it grounded and modern, having the same colour scheme run throughout a small space really helps make it seem larger and keeps a nice flow going. And WHOA – check out the dining room ceiling light fixture. How divine!
