We approached the project with the intention to not remove any features which were in good enough condition and could be made good or reused. The main focus was to create a more functional kitchen layout, gaining more storage space and a social dining area for entertaining. A general cosmetic refurb consisting of sanding down and repainting all millwork and doors, patching old walls and replacing the bathroom with all new tiles and brass ware. The property has an abundance of natural daylight through dual aspect windows, in the kitchen and living areas. This grounded the intention of working with this attribute by keeping the scheme in neutral tones, pale yellows and off whites. Infused with a generous amount of contrasting tones and materials create depth and intrigue. Geometric fabrics prints and tile patterns, adds a playful touch to the scheme. Further personalised with a mixed collections of wall hung art and collectable objects.
What a wonderful project by Pernille Lind Studio, and that deVOL kitchen is simply divine. Saving this to my inspiration folder.

If you go down to the woods today you’re in for a big surprise. No not the teddy bears’ picnic. Something better. This stylish home nestles gently in the forest echoing the surrounding timbers. A sophisticated summer home in the Stockholm Archipelago by Halleroed.

Bettencourt Lodge

Posted on Tue, 23 May 2023 by KiM

I have been following Matthew and Rick Bettencourt of Bettencourt Manor on IG for some time now and have been in love with their style – it’s earthy, rustic, vintage, geometric, contemporary….a little of everything rolled into this most wonderful package. They bought a 1400 sq ft log cabin in the Kawarthas (Omemee, On.) as an all-season escape from city life and the 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Bettencourt Lodge is now available on Airbnb for an escape of your own! It is an absolutely stunning getaway in both summer and winter.

Brutalist in São Paulo

Posted on Thu, 18 May 2023 by midcenturyjo

It was a gut demolition and reimagining of this São Paulo apartment by Memola Estúdio that created expansive open-plan social spaces with killer views. Wooden floors warm the brutalist concrete shell while white walls bounce the light into the apartment and provide a backdrop for the owners’ art collection. New and old furniture pieces share the neutral tones of the finishes with the “new color palette inspired by the autumn tones of the sunset that appears on the horizon.”
