Country Loft

A crumbling Italian villa was completely renovated and is now an airy loft-style home. The original architectural details were preserved, beautifully complemented by the modern fixtures and staircase. Particularly love that silvery wood table — wonderful. More here on Afflante.

Cinema: Hallowe'en Special

Looking for something spooky to watch tonight? The Internet Archive has a great selection of free vintage films online, from the terrifying classic 1922 silent horror flick Nosferatu to the 1962 low budget but extraordinarily atmospheric Carnival of Souls. Happy browsing!
