Joie de vivre

Posted on Wed, 15 Sep 2021 by midcenturyjo

She defines her style as “chic mix and match”. It’s fresh and fabulous, bright and colourful and in the case of this Normandy home elegant yet quirky, at times formal but always fun. Mainneville residence by Paris-based architectural designer Laura Gonzalez.

Sculptural touches in a Tribeca loft

Posted on Tue, 31 Aug 2021 by KiM

This Tribeca loft designed by Jen Talbot has some serious style with every piece of furniture and lighting and art being sculptural in nature. A prefect example of how art isn’t always something you hang on your wall. Even your sofa or coffee table can be viewed as art. (Photos: Brian Wetzel)

Pattern on pattern and a kaleidoscope of colour. Antiques and family hand me downs reloved. Books and flowers from the garden, pleated fabric lampshades, plenty of brown furniture and an army of floor rugs. The English do it so so well. Berkshire House by Vanrenen GW Designs.

Appartement du Parc La Fontaine

Posted on Thu, 5 Aug 2021 by KiM

One of absolute favourite architecture firms, that happens to be Canadian, has knocked my socks off once again with this project, a complete renovation of an apartment in the Montréal neighbourhood of Plateau-Mont-Royal. la Shed showed respect for the glorious original architecture and I love how they merged it with modern elements. This is stunning. And I love what they did with what might have been a garage in a former life. (Photos: Maxime Brouillet)

Bauhaus villa 1936

Posted on Wed, 28 Jul 2021 by KiM

It has been a little while since we shared a project by Polish design firm Loft Kolasiński. Bauhaus Villa 1936 is a 250m2 home located in the town of Konstancin-Jeziorna. The firm, who was responsible for interior design, parts of furniture, stairs, fireplace, interior woodwork, renovation of vintage furniture and accessories, turned this home into a modern, book lover’s dream with such incredible attention to detail as I have come to expect from them. I love the repetition of circles throughout the home – so fun! (Photos: Joel Hauck, furniture made by WoodmakerWoodeffect)
