A Scandinavian Christmas in the home of food and prop stylist Tara Ballantyne via Style At Home.

Warehouse conversions always excite me, especially when one of my favourite designers has had some part of it. This one-bedroom conversion on the third floor of a renovated Victorian warehouse was the home (and could still be?) of Ilse Crawford as seen way back in Jo’s post from 2007, and is currently for sale. It was a collaboration between Ilse, Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen and 6a Architects. The long wall of storage hides the front door and a washroom. The bookcases along the opposite wall make me giddy – to have so much open storage for displaying books and trinkets! (Although the current state of clutter on the shelving is making me have a slight coronary). It is so bright with all those large windows, and OMG those Zellige tiles will forever be a favourite of mine. You can find details of this fabulous home on The Modern House. 

Not your typical Hamptons home this mid century modern design by Kevin O’Sullivan + Associates houses a spectacular art collection as well as the owners’ 20th century furniture classics. Inside and out meld seamlessly making the most of the site and the lifestyle. Sophisticated, contemporary design in a stunning location.

….70’s pimp? 😉 why not? This bedroom is HOT! Another stunner by Hubert Zandberg.

It has been a few years since I decorated for the holidays. My day job is always so busy this time of year that I just don’t have the time or energy, including this year. I would settle for that absolutely stunning wreath above in this home decorated by British interior designer Hubert Zandberg. I love that aside from the trees the decor is quite subtle. No Santa Claus figurines and tinsel here!
