Possibly one of the best spaces I have seen in months. I am going to dream about this ALL DAY. (All photos via Halard – Halard)

There is something about those narrow steel rods…that shelving….

That fireplace with that mirror….those beams….

That sink…the floor….

Those black walls….that ragged bed cover…

That bathroom!

I was shocked to discover that Bastien Halard of Halard – Halard Design is based in New York City. After perusing his glorious portfolio I thought for sure he was located in Paris. But then it all made sense – he studied architecture and furniture design in Paris. His spaces are wonderfully eclectic, an intriguing blend of classic and contemporary, with lots of raw edges. J’adore.

LOVE!!! Mrs. Sullivan Interiors

Victoria Sullivan is a Brooklyn-based British expat whose style is a combination of all things easy-going and eclectic, refined and charming. Victoria has an uncanny knack of transforming the ordinary and unloved to highly covetable and unique. Most of these photos are of her own home, a former dilapidated townhouse she and her husband purchased several years ago. After a gut renovation, Victoria sanded, painted, filled and fixed every element of every room, maintaining as much of the authentic architectural detailing as possible. Cool paint tones on period-detailed walls create the back-drop for key elements of furniture, artwork and lighting that Victoria finds from a combination of antique specialists and local stoop sales. She curates the spaces with carefully selected pieces from a mix of eras and sources. With a love of wallpaper, textiles and upholstery, she remodeled forlorn finds and was able to breathe life and charm into every piece of furniture that followed her home. Books, ceramics and other such collectibles are layered into every shelf and surface, making irresistible stories that lead your eye through her interiors. Victoria and her partner Sandee Edelman are out to create eclectic spaces that are a Brooklyn/British mix, and that is Mrs. Sullivan Interiors.

What lies at the heart of every home? The living space, the kitchen, the bedroom? A free form carbon-fibre shell? Nicknamed the Mancave by architects  Allen Jack + Cottier the pod contains the bedroom and bathroom in this inner-city Surry Hills warehouse. Part folly, part experimentation in fabrication and form it certainly gives new meaning to cocooning.
