Marie-Laure Helmkampf is an interior designer after my heart. Her spaces are so full of all things beautiful. A European vibe (she is based in France) with rustic elements, plenty of textures and an overall earthy vibe that is elegant and so warm and inviting. Add some marble, black and some dreamy tile and I DIE. (More posts of Marie-Laure’s work here and here).
Soaker tub at the end of the bed and a wonderful wet room. Don’t even get me started on the tiles creeping into the wooden floor. Bathroom dreams are made of these. Franklin Street Loft by New York-based design/build and interiors firm Studio DB.
It was a while back that Jo featured a few of the photos from this home, and when I stumbled across it on architect Laurent Bourgois‘ website recently my heart melted and I thought it deserved a complete post. It is quite clear that I am becoming soft for traditional spaces that really highlight and celebrate original architectural details now that I finally have a home where I can celebrate in my way (adoring my wainscoting, curved ceilings, archways, leaded and stained glass windows). I don’t really know what exactly it is about this house, only that it has a very magical quality to it. And its elegance is indescribable.

Magda of Euro Style Interior Design based in Chicago sent along some photos of a bathroom design she recently completed and it is stunning! Such incredible, warm textures. The scoop: My clients wanted to create a bathroom where they can relax after long work hours. Where they can spend time together and enjoy soaking tub time. This design includes rustic and modern elements mixed together, what brings interest to this bathroom. Focal wall of the bathroom is the definitely free standing tub with beautiful wood tiles behind. Bathroom vanity is custom made and designed in collaboration with the client to accomodate their needs.
Liveable, lasting, light and lush. Relaxed spaces, beautifully soft colour tones, simple yet stunning bathrooms any of which I would kill for (dying to renovate my bathroom it is driving me so crazy with all of its aggravating qualities). These are the works of Los Angeles based Wendy Word Design.
