The floors are candy pink! SHINY. CANDY. PINK. No need to drag me into work on a weekend if my office looked like this. Yum! The offices of NGRS Recruiting Company in Moscow by Crosby Studios.

This bright and colourful family home has me wondering which hero feature I love the most. The bold and vibrant pinks and blues that add personality and drama or the knockout use of wallpaper. I think I’ll pump for both. Layers and layers of loveliness. Fitzroy House by interior designer Kate Challis.

I had the day off Friday so high on my priority list (aside from taking an elderly lady’s cat to the vet, because I apparently don’t have enough of my own cat problems) was going to get a sample of the tumbling block tile. When I saw it in the store again I immediately started having heart palpitations. And the second I lay the sample tiles on my floor, I knew they were the ones. I am so smitten with these damn tiles. I repainted the wainscoting with some samples of Parma Grey and Off black that Farrow & Ball provided me and I am sold on black (gloss though), and had husband hold up the roll of Amime I had and I know based on my last post alot of people aren’t really feeling this combo, but I think I have to go with my gut on this one. I really dig the European vibe this pairing gives, and think it is a bit more sophisticated and unexpected than my original choice. And I think this will make me happier in the long run.

I spotted this apartment yesterday on Living and thought it would be an appropriate post today. It is the summer home of an Italian family, a joint project of Studio CaSA and Margherita Serboli Arquitectura. This 97 sq m apartment located in Eixample, Barcelona is now bright and modern, with some original details maintained such as window frames and vaulted Catalan terra cotta ceiling (soooooo gorg!!). The cement tumbling block patterned tiles in the living and dining room are a really fun way to add pattern to the apartment and break up up the expanse of white in the open space. The pastel colours aren’t really my thing, but are really cute for a summer vacation pad. I would totally Airbnb this place. (Photos: Roberto Ruiz)

In these spaces, someone was not shy with colour – whether in large or small doses. A little colour pick-me-up for your afternoon. From the portfolio of photographer Thomas Loof. 

This is the loft of interior designer Heather Garrett. It is distinctively feminine, totally gorgeous and a dream space. Especially the first room below. LOVE! Turn a 1,100 s/f warehouse loft into a spacious 3 bedroom/2 bath apartment? With some solid geometry and careful space planning, Heather did just that. Her growing family needed more space (her children, 10 and 12, were now too old to share a room), and a single bath was definitely not cutting it. With 21′ high ceilings, there was room for a badly needed second level. So Heather designed a floating staircase using locally reclaimed pine from neighboring warehouses, leading to a pair of bedroom with shared bath and “hangout” spot where the kids could read, play piano, or just get a (little) distance from mom downstairs. The result is light and bright, with a spacious feel. (Photos by John Bessler)
