I’ve lived in some pretty tight apartments in my time, but none seemed quite as comfortable or well put together as this tiny Swedish apartment spotted on Desire to Inspire.
2 rooms + 1 bath = 500 square feet of white wash and charm.
From Room to Room
Jun 15 2011Living in an open concept house, I have a new appreciation for how to fill space in a cohesive way. Maybe that’s why I really love these designs by Pfau Long Architecture – the transition between rooms seems so effortless.

City Landscaping by Rees Roberts
Jun 13 2011We’re finally getting around to doing some landscaping. But the problem with landscaping, in my opinion, is that it’s done after the fact – after you have nothing left in your budget, after you’re tired from all the decisions that led up to this point…you get the picture.
If I ever go through the build process again (which I really hope to get to do again!)…I’m going to factor in all these decisions ahead of time. Because when you see the work of a firm like Rees Roberts + Partners you can really get a sense of how good (great!) landscaping can transform a property.
These homes featured below are smack in the middle of Manhattan. As much as I adore New York, I wouldn’t exactly call it clean. But these properties would transport you somewhere far beyond the smog!

House Tour: LA House by Studio Guilherme Torres
Jun 8 2011The LA House in Londrina, Brazil was designed by Studio Guilherme Torres and is over the top in every which way. The size of everything is mind boggling. Those doors. Insane! The dining room table comfortably seats 12 (it’s stunning, isn’t it?). The couch looks like it’s 14 ft long. The ottoman could fit my entire family! Might that be a 30 ft runner?
Anyhow, I doubt you’ll get practical decorating advice from these photos, but they are fun to look at, aren’t they? Oh – and the shock of yellow in the kitchen – gutsy and well worth it.
