Why stop at one post when you can have two? More loveliness by Marie-Laure Helmkampf.

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).

White walls seem to be getting a bad rap this days. All those insipid white walls. There is nothing washed-out about this Swedish apartment though. Moody greys add depth and character, acting as a foil to all the Scandi white. A small 32 m² home with style and personality recently sold by Stockholm real estate brokers Historiska Hem.

This is what happens when I try to delay starting the painting of 22 door panels (the last of the mahogany crap varnish) – I decide blog research is more important and I come across this absolute beauty of an apartment in for sale in Östermalm, Stockholm via Lagerlings. 247m² of classic and modern goodness with a plethora of plants as the icing on the cake. This home speaks to me on so many levels. I am in love and going to dream about this all weekend (while I melt – Ottawa is supposed to be around 40C! Jo isn’t the only one experiencing abnormally high temperatures.)

Two floors of French fabulousness in this apartment by Paris design duo RMGB. On the upper level are kitchen, dining and living areas with a mezzanine reached by a ladder, all tucked into the building’s eaves. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom with exposed beams. Minimal, modern lines with custom joinery and beautiful oak floors, all united with the perfect shade of grey.
