Livia Ribas

All I can think of is living large in this apartment in São Paulo, Brazil. Areas for lounging with family and friends, a dining table that seems to stretch forever and a gorgeous now you see it now you don’t office. Super stylish living up in a tower block by Livia Ribas.

Suite Arquitetos

Posted on Fri, 31 May 2013 by midcenturyjo

Two cool, or should that be too cool, spaces by Brazilian firm Suite Arquitetos. A stylin’ little apartment with a clever movable TV and a patio area with an amazing lighting system. The jury is still out on the astroturf 🙂

Still stalking

Posted on Wed, 29 May 2013 by midcenturyjo

I’m in St Kilda, Melbourne and I’m so attracted to the bones of this old building. A great blank canvas to create the dream apartment. A bit more layering, a touch more colour (but not too much), a rug or two to showcase the beauty of those old floors and a look that is less “home staged” and more stylin’ home. Yes please! Link here while it lasts.

A renovated attic in Romania

Posted on Mon, 27 May 2013 by midcenturyjo

This Bucharest attic space stayed unclaimed for many years until the owner put the project into the hands of Atelier and Jurnal de design interior. At only 50 sq m the sense of space is heightened by the angles of the ceilings and the wonderful light that floods the open plan areas. Exposed brick and the old beams provide contrast to the sleek white walls and polished floor boards. A modern space sitting comfortably in its historic shell.

The first step in any attic renovation is proper cleanup and insulation installation. This needs to be handled in a safe and non hazardous way.

Stalking small on a grand scale

Posted on Wed, 15 May 2013 by midcenturyjo

I can’t help it. I’m still stalking. Still stalking Potts Point in Sydney. Still stalking small apartments. Still stalking the urban cool or in this case the urban sophisticated. A wonderfully dark, masculine space by interior designer Darren Palmer. Luxe finishes. Luxe living. Definitely high end in a wonderful art deco building in the heart of the action.
