A Room With A View

 

Everybody loves a room with a view, but this is insane. Imagine living across from the Bilbao Guggenheim. I'm a bit gobsmacked by that view, but the rest of the home isn't anything to sneeze at either.

 

A stunning mix of contemporary and antique treasures, it has a real gallery feel itself. And seriously loving the design of that bookcase, what a great way to reinvent the everyday.

Absolutely Perfect

 

Sorry for the late start today. I'm in the land of long weekends and sleep-ins.

 

Seriously looking forward to a slow paced weekend pottering about the house. I wish I could report that I had big projects at hand, but nothing that exciting will be going on. Probably cleaning, most likely!

 

Over my leisurely coffee this morning I was trawling through some archives over at AT and found this slice of perfection. What a gorgeous home. I love the way the owners have furnished this place.

 

Nothing too precious, but absolutely perfect for the space. And I'm really loving that crazy paving. I think the Splendour needs a good dose of that pool side! One day.

 

I hope everyone has a lovely, lovely long weekend and safe travels.

Such Abundance

 

 

 

Here's a quick peek at something fabulous for the end of the week. Such abundance of MCM goodness in one home is rather fetching don't you think. But then again this home doubles as a gallery. Bit like having your cake and gorging on it too.

 

Feeling a bit inspired to spend the weekend glued to eBay, Gumtree and Craigslist. Oh if wishing made it so.

Oozes Cool

 

Be still my palpitating heart. This place is a bit alright, now isn't it?! I was hooked the minute I saw that outdoor area. Imagine the fireplace roaring, gluhwein in hand and everywhere white. Just stunning.

 

Apart from that knock out, this place oozes cool, from the timber, leather, cane - through to the stone and concrete bathroom. This is a bit of alpine heaven.

Deft

 

And to finish off the week with a bit of colour - how stunning is this slice of creative genius? I love the painted finishes this couple have used in their home. Often the term 'painted finish' evokes a skin crawling mental image of terracotta bagged walls in an effort to try and turn a white box into a faux Tuscan villa. But this place definitely avoids that category.

 

Apart from the stunning colour mixes and deft paint work, I'm seriously loving that old billiard table light used for a long dining table. Great idea.
