A converted straw hat factory

In serious love with these stylish apartments converted from the old Stockholm straw hat factory spotted on the always deliciously inspiring Pingouin de l'Espace blog [if you've never been, I highly recommend!] Love, love the neutral tones, the design pieces, low height furniture and mixed textures, and these wall art hat arrangements, a constant reminder of the history of the original building. More pictures here!

At home with Krisztina

Krisztina is a stylist and has a passion for 1950s-60s american vintage furniture. She decorated her Hamburg home with vintage finds from this era, colorful fabrics and moodboards and carefully handpicked pieces, giving her home a vintage and very feminine character.

House Tour : Herve + Emma + 3

Emma and hubby Herve brought their Parisian lifestyle to their New York upper east side home. New York based correspondent for Milk Magazine, Emmanuelle furnished her nest with second hand market finds and carefully chosen furniture.  As a result, a very European atmosphere reigns throughout the space. I love the personality of this home!

More inspiring home offices

I am finally redesigning and putting some order in my home office {Merci, Ikea!}, so any picture of a clean, clutter free desk ends up on my moodboard this week. I realize that having a minimal work space is extremely hard to achieve, because without any color, a workspace is cold and impersonal, and too much color ends up looking messy and cluttered. These desks have it all : minimal mood, yet a dash of color gives them a homy and feminine feel. Love these, a whole lot...

House Tour : Nina + Samuel

Swedish illustrator Nina and husband Samuel moved close to Hyde Park, London with their two sons and transformed this Edwardian Kensington house into a diverse living space. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet relaxed, thanks to the precious wood parquet floors, white walls, contemporary art pieces and vibrant colors throughout the space... the perfect combo for Nina to find inspiration.

House Tour : Séverine + Jean-Marc

When Séverine and Jean-Marc were house hunting for a flat in the French capital, they expected to find a flat with lots of remodeling to do. Instead, they found this gem in the Condorcet quarter of Paris, and just got busy with their painting brushes. The result is a cosy family home with vibrant colors and just the right amount of vintage and designer pieces.

Today, I am loving...

Today, I am loving this kids corner with these vintage 1960s camping beds and washed out color pillows... So cosy, comfy, full of different inviting textures, I'd even use these for a grown ups corner! Love, love, love this space.

A loft Place des Monges

This loft, located Place des Monges in Paris, has many industrial features that were kept from the original building structure [will you say oh la la with me about the windows?]. And let's talk about color here : look at this sumptuous palette used throughout the loft. So subtle, yet deep and strong and delicate all at once. Now that's what I call a color statement. This loft is full of personality. And I love it!
