I thought this post might cheer Jo up and make her forget she’s sick. It is an apartment in a converted Victorian school house in London. With alot of re-configuring to make the space more liveable and bright, and some crazy eclectic designs, interior design studio Avocado Sweets turned this space into a super fun, totally creative and full of personality dwelling for the homeowners. Complete with Penguin book cover wall – look familiar Jo?
They call it “Industrial Williamsburg/Adirondack/Cowboy Sensibility”. I call it cool. Would you believe this is a Brooklyn townhouse? Hell no. Better still it’s a B&B and there is even a log cabin out back. Time to pack the bags, check in and soak up the hipster vibes. Welcome to Urban Cowboy B&B.
I love a well-executed conversion. This one is a former railway cottage situated between a railway line and a national park in Velsen, The Netherlands. It was designed by ZW6 Interiors and is such a beautiful marriage of old heritage and modern aesthetics. Steel, concrete & glass blend magically with greenery, crumbled brick and wooden beams. What a dream house.
Give me any type of loft, any day of the week and I am on cloud nine. Include a kitchen with exposed brick wall, concrete countertops, reclaimed wood cabinets and Jieldé lights and I am drooling all over my computer. This loft is gorgeous. Via Istanbul-based Vimana Design.
Simply put… a modern extension to an historic home. In reality… delicious design. The Northcote Residence by Wolveridge Architects, shortlisted for the Australian Interior Design Awards 2014.
