Weekend

Happy weekend! Have a lovely one. And a truly lovely space to spend it in—the seaside home of a Spanish artist. It was designed by Jørn Utzon, the architect of the Sydney Opera House. More here.

Stylish in Stockholm

Interior designer Pella Hedeby has created a calm and welcoming atmosphere for this modern Danish apartment, using a palette of warm greys and a variety of natural materials. Located on the sixteenth floor, the space also has a spectacular view of Stockholm and a private roof terrace, making it the perfect urban retreat. More here on Elle Decoration Sweden.

Weekend

Happy weekend! Hope it's a lovely one. Looking forward to a fairly relaxed one — depending on the weather, it'll be outside to enjoy the changing leaves or off to see a movie if it rains. Have a good one too.

Sunny Days

Cold winter weather outside has me looking fondly at warm, sunny spaces like this one — the Barcelona home of transplanted Australians Crick King and Tommy Tang, founders of  Federal Café. Love how welcoming and personal their house is — and the pretty courtyard is a wonderful added bonus, too. More here on Nuevo Estilo.

Classically Modern

After almost a year of restoration, the lovely early twentieth century Alsation mansion of Sandrine and Hervé is now a fascinating fusion of old and new. Love how they've mixed colour and modern art with the original Belle Epoque architectural details, to great effect. More here on Marie Claire Maison.
