Today's Brittish Place

This is Rochester House, in Kent. A delightful mix of old and new, stone work, aged wood, genius light solutions and beautiful colors.

It's simple, yet rich.

This last room kills me. Can't deal!

Really small but Really clever

Here are 3 really-really small spaces with a ton of personality.

I honestly was like: SAY WHAT!? Can't believe a place so small can look that good and be so functional at the same time!!!

1: Grown-up and sophisticated

{rich tones and textures and a jazzy, elegant vibe... I wanna touch everything in this room!!}

2.- sunny, cheerful, modern

This is probably not the direction I would take, but I have to admit some of the choices here are genius!!!

{gorge window treatment!}

3.- Finally, we have this awesome living/office area

Which is absolutely fabulous. I love the neutral, organic elements, love the white, the house plant

and the DESK!!! this place is small but looks super-duper comfortable!

Do you have a fave???

have a FAB weekend!!!!!!!!!! xx

Refurbished Flat in Barcelona

This is one of the most glorious refurbished spaces I've ever seen. You know, old buildings have a certain charm to it, which is why many people like buying Old rather than new... fixer-uppers sure are attractive to some of us, but remodeling can be really expensive. 

The house features a delicious blend of contemporary and traditional- swoon.

Check it out!

Via Decoist,

Oh the floors!!! the tall ceilings!!

The windows and views!!!

Question:

Would you rather have a brand new house {white canvas?} or a Fixer Upper???

Dear Small Apartment...

I am in love.

People, check it out. This is a gem of an apartment, where truly genious choices have been made in order to make the most of every square inch.

For starters, this bult in shelf unit not only serves as backdrop for that cozy sofa but it provides depth, then there is the wicker chair to add texture and organic fabulousness, the rug, wooden table and stools follow suit.

Kitchen and Dining are right there too, everything tied together by the fabulous and paneled 50's looking wood. It all flows and connects in such a natural way.... oh man....

Use all of it! all of the space, get creative. Use a lot of white.

Never underestimate the power of fuzzy rugs (or anything fuzzy) esp in the bedroom. Will cozy-up any bedroom in NO time.

What an adorbz bedroom for the little one, could be boy or girl, it's equally good. And what a terrific way to maximize space. Pretty damn brilliant if you ask me.

what a treat right???

Today's Brittish Place

Palace Rd. House in London has so much simplicity and beauty I am like, floored. You see, i have a weakness for white spaces, {I'll wait till my kid is older though..........ok who am I kidding, I am just bad at deep-cleaning on a regular basis}.

This house has certain elements beyond the white walls, trims and frames we cannot overlook: fresh, organic slipcovers, natural fibers and wood, touches of baby blue, bare windows or VERY simple blinds, and many elements that were repurposed and revamped in some way. This is a DIYer's dream you guys. Let's see it!

Hello this kitchen!!! I love YOU!

Did you adore it or WHAT!

Fabulousness times four: Nooks

Hi there lovelies? what-up!

I cannot wait to figure out a way to have my own pretty little nook in the house, here are the most amazing breakfast nooks you guys. My faves are 1, 2 and 4 {ok, all of them}.

1.- this one is pretty darn stunning. Masterful use of space, textures and natural light here.

just one question though.

who lives here? can I crash?

2.- Perfection. Like visiting your fave coffee shop!!

3.- Cottage style has never been my thing, but this little nook is making my knees weak!!!

4.- Ahhhhhhh........... the french bistro style........... for a romantic date in the kitchen.

Me likey!!!!!!

Another Friggin' PERFECT Boutique Hotel....

Casa Sur Hotel, I found while looking at sites from the ultra-fabulous Buenos Aires, Argentina. I go NUTS for Argentinian Steak, Tango dancing, and all things Argentinian in general. Well, this lil place called Casa Sur is like... TO DIE. Seriously. Just check out the insanity of so much perfection. (color palettes alone have got me drooling) 

Wood & Wine....

A seemingly endless Argentinian wine collection??? OH, YES PLEASE!

I need the table above and pronto! my casa deserves it

(may not fit in the room, but who cares)

Deep, rich colors and textures for a cozy, yet modern atmosphere....

A State of the Art SPA.... just what a girl needs after a long day of shopping on the streets of Buenos Aires!!!

ALL KINDS of Yummy!!! {I am hungry now.. dang.}

I have never been to Argentina, my boyfriend has and he raves about it!... have you been????

do you dig this Casa Sur place??

love and xoxox to ALL of you.
