Fabulous artwork, furniture classics, freaky little figure perched on two chairs. A light touch was employed by Melbourne design firm Molecule when reworking this South Yarra apartment. Walls were removed or added but not everything was ripped or remodelled, bespoke joinery added and a minimalist shell designed to showcase an amazing contemporary art collection. I wouldn’t change a thing… except maybe that freaky little figure perched between two chairs.

Moody, masculine, modern. Sophisticated with a rough edge. Shiny dark floors and floor level mirrors confuse the boundaries and make this warehouse apartment look larger as do the full height doors. Slick with exposed brick by Architect Prineas.

Apartment living really isn’t for me (at least while I live in Ottawa where houses are as affordable as condos) but the units in this building in Stockholm are spectacular. Originally a residential building, then converted into offices, the crew at Oscar Properties are lovingly restoring the structure back into apartments. Turn of the century architecture, with sophisticated luxurious spaces that have a Parisian vibe. This first kitchen is SO dreamy. The cabinetry colour, marble, gold and copper accents…YUM.
P.S. I am short on pet entries this week – if you would like to submit photos please send them to kim[at]desiretoinspire[dot]net. Thanks!

Vintage masculine. Rustic meets Manhattan manly. Why am I trying to put a label on it when it already tells a story we can all understand? It’s an eclectic mix of country in the city with a hint of industrial, found object and gentleman’s den. Leather and wood, wool and metal. Layers of texture with stories to tell.
