This is quite an apartment. I love the dark cabinetry with the wide plank floors. The kitchen is fantastic – I think that might be a floating hood vent, I’m not sure. I have no idea how that would work – but it looks very cool. I also don’t know what type of counter top is used, but it has this very neat texture. I love that the original ceilings were maintained + Sergio Rodriquez chair + Caravaggio pendants + + +. I only wish they’d shown the living room – you can get a glimpse of an oversized pendant in the space, but man, would I love to see it. Thanks Marie Claire Maison.
Mediterranean Bliss
Sep 26 2011I’d be thrilled to stay in a shack anywhere near Sardinia – so I can only imagine what it would be like to stay in a place like this:
Contemporary home in “ile de La Maddelena” designed by architect Jean-Paul Arrivetz, as seen in Marie Claire Maison.
What I particularly love: Window instead of backsplash in kitchen, tiled bathroom walls, black oval tub. steel beams. Could go on and on…
A Splash of Colour
Apr 13 2011I’ve designed a house with pretty neutral tones – walnut floors, white walls, charcoal doors and accents. But I love colour. I think little touches of colour here and there make a home.
Here are some shots that add a bit of upmh by mixing it up a bit.

Textured Walls
Mar 17 2011Now that we’ve moved in, I’ve been a bit preoccupied with what to put on our walls. Well, I need to unpack first, but hanging artwork is on my radar.
Maybe that’s why I seem to be spotting interesting textured walls all over the place – these walls are decorative in their own right and don’t need any extras at all. From fur wallpaper to wide plank wood, who said walls can’t be a bit more ornamental?
