At Therese Winberg's home

This is a freshly inovated apartment of Therese Windberg. She painted the floor herself. Many pieces of furniture are vintage and they look so good mixed with the classic designs and pastel colours.

A bright interior from South African ELLE Decor

mid century modern


design interior


This amazing interior was published in ELLE Decor South Africa. Not only does it have a fantastic vintage feel but it also combines vintage mid-century pieces with ultra bright, almost neon colors. A nice touch is also added by the black and white photos from Alfred Hitchcock's movies.

Artful Danish modern apartment


sandinavian design


The owners of this wonderful flat, Katrin Bjork and Jens Søgaard, felt so overwhelmed with all the photos and art that they decided to throuw their TV away. The couple created perfect balance in this interior: Katrin prefers bold colors whereas Jens likes the variations of black and white. Apart from the decorations there are several interesting obejcts such as the tables or the Mushroom lamp.

Guest Bedroom Facelift and Some Other Stuff…

design makeover decor diy
Good morning everyone! If we are friends on Instagram, you know that I’ve been working on a few mini projects and wanted to complete them before the hubby returned home. I had only 2 weeks to complete them. Above is the guest bedroom. I painted the bed head wall Benjamin Moore Soot. I also repainted the BM Revere Pewter that was on the other walls to BM White Dove.

Unfortunately, I was using this room as my “catch all” space. I am not a fan of folding laundry and usually would fold only the boys’ clothes and leave everything else! Yikes!  Anyway, I buckled down and tackled the space.

After painting the space, I had the fan replaced with this Sputnik look a like light fixture that I purchased from Lowes. Love it! The curtains were already in place.

I am waiting on a pair of swing arm lamps for the space, but I borrowed this one from my bedroom for the shoot.

There are still art pieces missing from the walls because I hate to make holes on freshly painted walls. Dada will do that when he gets home-reaaally soon!

In Other Areas

I papered the commode area of the Master Bath.  I originally intended to use a thrifted light, but used this very modern one that I had purchased from DWR when we first moved into this house. I totally forgot that I had it!

The foyer also got repainted. Benjamin Moore White Dove is on the walls, and door is painted Benjamin Moore Symphony Blue.  Big thanks to Lea of Lea Hartman Photography, the magic worker for capturing the spaces. I am off to go shopping at Victoria SecretSmile. Have a lovely day everyone! xx

A colorful Parisian interior




 Emilie Fair and Nicolas Andre both live and work in this apartment in Paris - she is an artist, he is an architect. The color green is a prominent feature of the interior, as it appears in all the rooms. A lot of the furniture comes from local flea markets, which Emily painted herself to fit in the apartment.

Rustic meets bright in a music lover's flat

scandinavian living room

fireplace



This is, quite apparently, a music lover's apartment, as is a display of vinyl records and posters. What is really nice in this interior is the use of modern colorful design pieces with antiques like the light blue burning stove and the battered wall.

An industrial romance






 Fanny and Pascal François rebuilt this factory into a modern home, which, despite its industrial aesthetics, has a warm, relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The couple decided to knock out all the  remnants from the past, and created a ground floor where the kitchen and the dining room are completely open to the living room. To preserve the original spirit of the building, two specific elements remained: a monolithic concrete floor and the old windows.
