Deep jewel tones in an apartment in Italy

Posted on Mon, 20 Jul 2020 by KiM

A midnight blue cocooning foyer, a mustard yellow accent chair, a Togo leather sofa in cognac with coordinating painted nook (love this!!!), more blue and yellow in the bedroom…. This apartment by Italian designer Grazia Caruso of Vesper Design is modern and vibrant and I really love the warmth of these colours playing off each other. Such good energy in this space.

Sunday at a bar, restaurant and café

Posted on Sun, 19 Jul 2020 by KiM

As of this past Friday, we Ontarians are able to once again eat inside a restaurant, bar etc, go to a gym and pretty much anywhere we used to pre-pandemic (but of course, wearing masks where possible indoors, and often is the law). Several of my favourite shops and restaurants choose to be cautious and are open by appointment only or continue to only offer takeout or patio only. If enjoying some time in a restaurant, bar or café were as simple as it was a few months ago, any of these beautiful spaces designed by Paris-based firm Laplace would be ideal.

Garden inspiration 2

Posted on Wed, 15 Jul 2020 by midcenturyjo

I’m still on the hunt for garden inspiration and I’ve found the garden of my city loving dreams. Small but big on impact. Stylish, easy maintenance and perfect for entertaining or just taking time for yourself. The transition between paver to planks to pebbles then grass is genius. A lush and luscious garden by Sydney-based Adam Robinson Design.

Old meets new in a designer’s home

Posted on Tue, 14 Jul 2020 by KiM

Old meets new in this bright, eclectic 100 year old home of designer Jonathan Steinitz and his husband located in Columbus, Ohio. This is what I love to see – people appreciating the history of a home and working hard to restore original features. Here they re-exposed some beautiful worn brick and original hardwood flooring. The white walls really accentuate these elements and some modern mixed with vintage furnishings really add personality.
