I can’t make up my mind what I like better. The black stairs and the encaustic tiles that link the two floors? The artwork, especially the photography? The sleek, black kitchen as counterbalance to the white, bright apartment? The light flooding in from the windows? The view? Perhaps all of it! Whatever it is, it’s apparent that I love this penthouse in the Dutch city of Utrecht, home to interior designer Jeroen van Zwetselaar of ZW6.

It’s just a box, a simple cookie cutter studio apartment. Tiny living/sleeping room, entry, bijou kitchen and even smaller bathroom. Yet I want it. Why? Because after the stylist and photographer have finished with it I can’t take my eyes off the photos, scanning for covetable objects or clever ideas. I’m already daydreaming that it’s my Stockholm pied-à-terre. That’s why Frank is so fantastic. Can’t have it though. It’s sold. Via Fantastic Frank.

I’ll put up my hand and admit it. I love everything by Lyon-based design duo Pierre Emmanuel Martin and Stéphane Garotin of Maison Hand. I’m such a fan girl that I’d sneak into their showroom and secretly live there. I promise I won’t take over this apartment in Ainay is the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon though. That would be creepy. Living in the boutique is another thing 😉

And one a little taste of a couple more projects just because…

There is still that Scandinavian vibe. You definitely can’t miss it. And the cosmopolitan touches that we’ve come to expect. The palette is white and black with touches of blue and grey. The rooms have that flow. It’s Scandinavian alright but this is a sophisticated, mature take on the design style we all love. I’m glad to see that owner doesn’t take it all too seriously though 😉 I’ve been stalking the pages of Stockholm realtors Wrede again. A penthouse with city views in the Kungsholmen area of Stockholm. Link here while it lasts.

Woe is me! It’s nothing but gnashing of teeth and the renting asunder of clothing on my part. I am in deep mourning. This moody Swedish apartment is sold and will never be mine. Only these images are left to mock me. 152 sq m turn of the century penthouse in Stockholm sold by real estate agents Wrede. Link here while it lasts.
