A Lighter Shade of Pale
Done entirely in soft shades of grey, the 18th century Copenhagen apartment of designer Oliver Gustav is a tranquil mix of antique and modern pieces against a classical background. Lovely. More here in T magazine.

Sweetness and Light
Love the quality of the light in this space—the way it filters through the curtains reminds me of the way sunlight refracts through tidal pools. Beautiful.

Early spring wardrobe inspiration. A polished approach to layering—really love the contrast of pale blush pink with black.

Left Bank Style
The elegant 19th century Left Bank Paris apartment of Alexandra Fain Sur and her husband Pierre-Olivier was recently discreetly modernized by architect Federico Masotto. The result is a perfect balance between the space's classical origins and contemporary style. Love that sofa. More here in The Telegraph.
