a lovely small apartment in gothenburg

stadshembedroom.jpg

This lovely apartment looks spacious but this two room home in Gothenburg, Sweden, measures only 50m2. I love how limited space is used and the decoration is just beautiful. Is this your dream home? Lucky you: it is for sale!

an old berlin factory becomes a modern city home

berlin1.jpg

An old crumbling industrial building has been transformed into a modern and spacious home in Berlin, Germany. The owners had the almost impossible dream of of finding a haven in the middle of the city: a bright and spacious house with a garden for the children play in. Thanks to Miethe + Quehl, the architectural firm that is responsible for the renovation of the factory building, they succeeded in realizing this dream. The owners’ Scandinavian roots are reflected in the interior design. Various Scandinavian design classics can be found in the light and spacious rooms.

These lovely Ibiza poufs are almost sold out. The last ones are now available with a discount. I could not resist keeping a large pouf and some smaller ones for myself.. These images here are all shot in my home.

white armchair: designer brand or ikea?

ghostchair.jpg

I am looking for a white armchair for my son’s bedroom that I’m redecorating. I love the Gost armchair (top image) designed by Paola Navone for Gervasoni. It has been on my wish list for a long time. But this chair comes with a price tag (around 2000 EUR). An alternative is the chair featured in the image below, which is the Ektorp chair from IKEA (199 EUR). Not as beautiful but a hell of a lot cheaper..

a home right at a beach in cape town

za1-13.jpg

I was preparing this post and suddenly I remembered that I had already featured this gorgeous summer home in South Africa. But as many of you might not have seen it before (plus I have added new images), here it is again! There might be more duplicate posts after 7 years of (almost) daily blogging… This laid-back wood-clad bungalow on Cape Town’s Bakoven beach oozes seaside style. The lucky owners are Cathy, Mike and their three children. A lover of bargain finds, the resourceful Cathy did the interiors herself. ‘A well-known interior designer once came up from the beach and had a look, and his advice has always stuck with me – he said that the painting was outside the window and that whatever happened inside shouldn’t compete with it,’ she recalls.

a modern home in amsterdam

krag2.jpg

A mix of raw and finished materials add textural interest to the interior of this modern home in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In the open-plan dining area (image above) a graphic circle adds drama to the otherwse undecorated plasterboard. Splashed of red and orange give some colors to the sober color scheme. Personally the colors are a bit too dark for me. Living in The Netherlands I know it can rain quite often and days can be dark and short, that’s why I prefer lighter colors which add light to a space. What do you think?

an eco friendly country house in uruguay

decores3.jpg

This eco friendly country home in Uruguay is owned by artist Pablo Reinoso. The decor is left very simple: some Thonet chairs, basic furniture pieces and cotton fabrics from Indian are used to decorated the various rooms. The bathroom features a huge trunk that is embedded in the polished concrete floor and serves as a towel rack. The many outdoor places were designed to enjoy the southern summer. Although this lovely house is simple, it has all one might need!
