A dreamy Paris apartment

Posted on Fri, 23 Feb 2018 by KiM

I could not love this Paris apartment more. Seriously spectacular detail. By Studio Razavi Architecture.

Before Baron Haussmann started gutting Paris under Napoleon the 3rd, a wave of modernization had started in the center of Paris where new buildings had gone up according to a different set of rules which would ultimately lead to what is known as the Haussmannian type. This apartment is located in such building and its decorative influence (both on the facade and inside apartments) bares a Greek influence, rather than Neoclassical, which would be generalized for later buildings.
As in most apartment renovations in older buildings, the layout was radically modified as the kitchen was brought right next to the front entrance and left as an open space and a master suite was created where the kitchen was formerly located. We undertook heavy restoration of original features (more specifically a remarkable wood floor) and created a smooth transition with remodeled areas so as to preserve the feel of an early 19th century apartment. Whenever possible, contemporary elements were introduced which, in combination with the furniture selection, create a lively and modern interior.

It’s lovely. Light and bright, sophisticated yet relaxed, traditional yet fresh and fabulous. The perfect home … I should say second home. A stylish family getaway in the chic seaside hamlet of Corona Del Mar, California by Kelly Nutt Design.

Crushing

Posted on Tue, 6 Feb 2018 by midcenturyjo

It’s just a hallway I hear you say. It’s just a staircase. Yet I’m crushing heavily on these normally neglected areas. In the hands of Moscow-based Malyeva Interiors the monochromatic spaces are crisp, refined, divine. Such timeless beauty.

Cape Cod in Missouri

Posted on Tue, 6 Feb 2018 by midcenturyjo

It looks like it could be beachside Nantucket but instead it’s lakeside in St. Louis, Missouri. A base of crisp, bright white is enhanced with pops of colour, vintage finds and handcrafted touches with visual interest added through texture and patina. This serene family vacation home could have looked staged and cheesy in the wrong hands. Instead the Amy Studebaker Design project has a casual elegance, a coastal charm.
