Susanna Cots is an interior designer from Barcelona and this home is her creation. A skin made of wood that transversally crosses the housing is Susanna Cots‘ “leitmotiv” to develop this interior design project, the home in Barcelona of two book lovers. The starting point of the housing is located in its central nucleus where the dining room’s ceilings are dressed in wood that, at the same time, shapes the furniture that holds the TV and a bioethanol fireplace. This wooden wrapping continues across the ceiling and separates the living and the water areas inside and outside, and is subtly bathed in natural light in the bathrooms. The warm area reaches the suite defining the sleeping area and finally becoming the bed head. I really love the idea of a feature that carries from one space to the next. There’s something very inviting about that… it’s like an invisible force guiding you. And in this case it seems to act as a blanket. What a beautiful home.

For those who have lamented in comments recently of the propensity of Australians to tack on the equivalent of a law firm’s modern waiting room to the back of an historic home here is a little traditional stalking. All be it sleek and white and cool. Woollahra, Sydney. Link here while it lasts.

There is nothing more beautiful than black, white and grey. These stunning photos by Swedish photographer Jenny Grimsgärd are proof.

I feel like diving into these images. Hold my breath, dive through my computer screen and surface refreshed in rooms that hum with vibrancy and personality. Sometimes just a glimpse of something inspiring and beautiful clears my mind and stirs my design soul. Like interior designer Justine Hugh-Jones‘ new website. Scroll and drink deep, scroll and drink deep. Tumble turn and do it all over again.

I wish there was more time in a day. I wish I lived in a warmer climate so I could experience summer-like weather for more than 3 months a year. Because of these wishes, I am going to be sort of random with my posts on Sundays for the next couple of months. I’ll be spending time at my sister’s cottage trying to get in as much fresh air, sunlight and warmth as I can (I was there yesterday – it was a blast). Today I have a quick post of a beautiful home featured in Lantliv magazine. I sure wouldn’t mind spending my summer here.
On a side note, I have a million chores to get done today but I’m hoping to find time to tweak some photos I took of new items in my home so stay tuned for that later on ‘kim’s page‘.
