I really love this home in Toluca Lake, LA designed by Barbie Palomino. It is eclectic with bits of drama including unique wall art, accent colours used in rugs and textiles, gallery walls and some black. And featuring an adorable little pooch for added awesomeness. 

“Located in Daylesford, the Central Springs house was designed to create a sense of warmth and comfort, often needed in the cool climate setting. A refined palette of white washed timber boards, and polished fresco walls are used to produce a sophisticated take on the traditional country home.”

I love the play of smooth and rough as well as the calm of the greige colour palette. (I almost want to rub my hands all over those polished walls.) Central Springs by Adam Kane Architects.

Though this home is not really furnished I had to share because I have been dreaming about living in a rough, industrial, loft-like home for at least the past 20 years. Nothing like this exists in Ottawa so I can keep dreaming but if someone has £1,995,000 and is looking for something in London to put your stamp on, scoop this one up! Never mind that it looks like rats were eating the kitchen cupboards, and the painted floorboards are a bit rough…this 3 bedroom, 2,000 sq ft over 4 floors conversion from furniture-restoration workshops built in 1905 has SUCH AMAZING BONES. AH MAH GAWD!!! Listing here via The Modern House.

The drama of black and white, dark and light, always captivates me. These spaces by McAlpine are about as fabulous as it gets. 

Scandinavian and Belgian antiques sit comfortably with contemporary pieces. A muted colour palette is enhanced by texture and patina. Atmospheric, ephemeral, timeless, simply beautiful. Exquisite restraint and refined beauty define this elegant residence by Houston-based M Naeve.
