A vintage modern kitchen

Posted on Wed, 21 Sep 2022 by KiM

I have been dreaming a lot lately about how I can redo my very small kitchen and this recent project by Ottawa design firm Wiseman + Cromwell is perfect inspiration. I love the chic Parisian vibe of this space and the wood, black, white and brass is so classic and timeless. Absolutely gorgeous. I’m taking notes! (Check out another of Liane’s projects here)

Working on a Saturday

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Ulla Johnson showroom by Rafael de Cardenas.

Floating like a stair

Posted on Thu, 8 Sep 2022 by midcenturyjo

This Saint Antoine apartment by Paris-based architectural firm Heju combines a former carpentry workshop and a storage attic above. Open plan living areas on the lower floor are linked to the sleeping areas above by a sculptural metal staircase suspended above the kitchen. By reducing the staircase form to its barest minimum and highlighting the void it becomes lightweight almost like a piece of paper floating in the air.








The Haussmannian bones are there but Paris-based architects Heju have carefully laid within this 130 m2 apartment a cooler than cool contemporary home. Minimalist arches, on-trend finishes, clean simple lines of what I call nouveau modernism break the code of the Haussmannian style without destroying the original fabric.

In a magical light

Oh yes this Spanish apartment is filled with light but it’s designer Luis Puerta‘s magical touch that brings it to life. He has a taste for simple luxury with natural finishes and carefully curated pieces while negative space plays an important role. A neutral nirvana in Madrid.
