Walker house

Posted on Tue, 2 Dec 2014 by KiM

What a fun house this is! It is an 1873 gothic revival home with a rather large addition built in 2003. Andrew Maynard Architects took on some rebuilding, such as the interior of the kitchen/dining area within the original house and converted the garage into a living space. The daunting task was connecting the original home with the former garage – which was accomplished with a low, transparent space…and a little astroturf! And how cool is that flip-up window/counter at the end of the kitchen?!

Noteworthy from Cloth & Kind

I adore this laundry room – particularly the sink set-up and the light fixture. *drool*

Afriad to go with dark walls? Why not give it a try on the trim instead? Talk about a bold, graphic statement!

This wallpaper is beautiful. Would be amazing with navy glossy trim. Hex tile floor is a bonus.

Cloth & Kind

Krista Nye Schwartz & Tami Ramsay are the duo behind Michigan and Georgia based interior design firm Cloth & Kind. Curated interior design with history and heart, with story and substance….spaces that are warm, inviting, layered and infinitely livable. What I admire about these ladies is that they come up with brand new ideas and colour schemes with each project. Their creations are spunky, energizing and…thoughtful.

The holidays are upon us, and I am desperately trying to get my Christmas mojo going. Maybe this post will motivate me to pull out the 6 decorations I have and work it.

Vancouver photographer Janis Nicolay has been shooting spaces for all of my favourite magazines for years, and I’ve been a fan since the beginning. Enjoy these photos of hers of some pretty special spaces, and when you’re done, you can check out more on her blog Pinecone Camp

(of course the first thing I noticed was the book on the coffee table)
