Yes, these gorgeous interiors are contained in only 3 rooms, and wow, what wonderful rooms they are. The owners recently sold a newer, larger home located in Gothenburg after finding they preferred this smaller apartment located in an 18th century building where they could enjoy city life in the heart of Stockholm. The minimal space […]


Through the use of both dramatic artificial lighting and skylights installed in the floor, this 1st floor apartment with basement is anything but dark and dreary. Thanks to a collaboration including award winning Porras & La Casta Architects this lovely Madrid apartment truly marries history with modern day while maintaining an air of whimsy.  The common […]

Is your dining spot ready for the holidays? If not, time’s a wastin’. These dining spaces all scream one thing, personality. The biggest roadblock to achieving the room of your dreams is often you.

The 1920′s Mediterranean style home is not very common in Portland but designer Jessica Helgerson shows that decor to match the structure’s design can be a light filled, bright, and happy interior.  Typical Mediterranean style can often be dark and heavy so the injection of hot pinks, oranges, and reds liven up the wood and […]

While maintaining ancient sandstone columns and thuya ceilings, they managed to add modern […]


Jenny and Paul Camlett were judged Best Apartment by Period Living magazine’s 2012 Reader’s Awards. I fell in love with this gorgeous Victorian maisonette the Camlett’s worked so hard to restore.

In this Berlin home designer Maria Llado mixes vintage with modern while introducing splashes of color into an mostly white environ with skill.  I particularly like some of the lighting choices, notably the distinctive table lamps and the floor lamp in the fuschia bedroom, however, I will never be a fan of the all white […]


The color coral can refer to tones ranging from very light peach or pink to a deep red or orange. When opting for this color scheme the grey can range from the palest silver to the deepest charcoal. It is such a great pairing that you can decide on the value of each color and […]


No, we are not discussing religion today but the conversion of 1868 Methodist church that now houses this sleek interior. Designer Gary Tarn skillfully adapted the space into a home that features a double height living room, 4-5 bedrooms, family room, home office, exercise pool, and a theater/music room all while preserving the church’s original […]
