A beautiful modern home in the middle of a forest + black and white + sleek furnishings + dashes of colour + hollywood regency vibe = this glamourous residence by designer Patrick Mele.

OMG this U.K. apartment in a Victorian manor is HOT!!! High ceilings, period features, floor to ceiling windows the décor is a fusion of gothic, classic and contemporary design with sensual heritage colours, detailed corniche, wallpapered ceilings, tarnished metalics, animal skins and prints. Call me crazy, but I now want to go find a birdcage and some gold chain… Location space available via Shoot Factory.
P.S. If you’re in the Ottawa area, come down to the Bell Sensplex for the final day of the Handmade Harvest craft show. My husband has a booth (Daff Design) so I will be there hanging out with him and trying not to buy more goodies. I could not help myself today – such good stuff!

Simply slick. Slickly simple. A cool, white, minimalist kitchen in an historic shell by London-based Macdonald Wright Architects.

The photos from my last post got my decorating juices flowing…but I always go back to Abigail Ahern‘s spaces, where darker and bigger are better. Every time.

Location 78

I finally have a fireplace again in my living room (I had one 2 houses ago) and this time it is beautiful, a centrepiece of the room with a mantel deep enough to display pretty much anything. As seen in my last post of the space, I had stuck some off-white West German vases on it with all the dried flowers I had around, my Vladimir Tretchikoff Green Lady print I unpacked from my art stash in the basement and some little ornaments I picked up in Puerto Vallarta I have not figured out where to hang yet. I thought over the weekend that maybe it was about time to think about redoing this set-up…and I could not really come up with anything. Time for a fireplace mantel round-up for inspiration! Here are a bunch of mantels I found all over the internet that I really like. Especially the one above. 🙂
