I do love some colour, but when someone does black/white and brown THIS GOOD I end up rethinking the meaning of life. This before and after of a kitchen renovation in Québec City is blowing me completely away. The granite countertop, lime-based plaster paint, to-die-for oversized checkerboard ceramic tile floor….it’s really quite a simple renovation when you look closely but Montréal-based Blanc Marine Intérieurs always nails the details and brings their projects together seemingly effortlessly. (Their IG account is one of my absolute favourites for inspiration). Photos: Photographie Interieure Co.

A white on white cottage

Light-filled and elegant this small cottage with its white on white palette mixes neoclassical chic with a casual twist. Think alabaster and antiques with cane and soft linen blinds. Cremorne Cottage by Sydney-based AP Design House.

Breathing new life

Posted on Thu, 3 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

“A renovation of a 1912 Villa to bring it into the 21st Century and make it comfortable for family life (after being a student flat for 25 years). Wall linings were replaced and repainted as was the kitchen, architraves and skirting were reinstated , heating/cooling was installed and the floors were painted.”

Breathing new life into a tired old home. Fresh, contemporary and fun. Further renovations are to come but what a great beginning. Sackville 2019 by Auckland-based Dessein Parke.

Working on a Saturday

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Estudio Showroom Rowse Beauty by Barcelona-based Isern Serra.

Minimalist and modern, black and white in a soaring loft space up under the eaves in Paris’ 17th arrondissement. Beautiful aged oak beams and original steel and glass windows provide contrast, a historic shell for Atelier Leymarie Gourdon to create a 70 m2 contemporary one-bedroom apartment within.
