A Lovely Loft for the Weekend.


I am a fan of oversized art and really unique lighting in a space. This loft overflowing with natural light and located inside the former van Houten Chocolate factory in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood showcases exactly why.







Just so  beautiful!  Do you have great plans this weekend? I don’t know what I’ll be doing just yet, but I know whatever it is, it will be outdoors related. We are being smiled upon with this lovely weather that is set to continue this weekend. I am sorry if you’re still covered in snow. However, I have a feeling the weather will be getting better in your neck of the woods soon tooSmile. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! XX
PS. You’ll regret it if you don’t enter the giveaway below! It’s truly an awesome one!

GOOD MORNING DEAREST! Ohhh, I got to visit you twice! I came by to comment on your older post last night; thank you for coming over to say BONSOIR! AND I LOVE THAT GORGEOUS, twisty metal chandelier! Let me tell you...YOU, Shari and Deborah have taught me how to look at MODERN in a different way. I AM LOVING those angular lines along with the animal skin rugs. I have got to figure out WHERE I can use a rug like that! HAVE FUN OUTSIDE THIS WEEKEND DEAREST! We too are having a great thaw and off I go to at least walk around our local lakes....enjoy! Anita

When my husband and I lived in NYC there were tons of amazing lofts but you also pay for that space! This one is fabulous and yes you're making me appreciate modern decorating. Have a fabulous weekend Stacey!

Im also a huge natural-light fan and this loft is beautiful. My favourite are the bedrooms with the brick walls and the huge windows:) Wish you a lovely weekend, darling

Love it...love the tall soaring spaces, the clean asthetic and love that brick walled wall in the bedroom, it kind of is the seal of approval for a loft to be authentic:)
Looks like they are also lucky enough to have lots of natural light and a view...double bonus. Happy weekend!

I love large scale art. No really big plans for this weekend, but since the weather is going to be so nice here, I'm might be tempted to get out to a few garage sales. I know people are going to have a few.

Yes that light is indeed a luxury, as is that wide hallway and brick wall, very nice. Don't care for those alligators on the wall though.

I live in a loft, so I love seeing this kind of inspiration! It's tricky to get the perfect mix of industrial/modern and cozy.

That's loft living at its best. Beautiful. I'm more a traditional lover myself, I live in a Georgian Hall (farm house), but that apartment is pretty amazing.

Found you on Boost my Blog Friday, CJ xx

The only thing that would make the loft better is if it still smelled like chocolate from the old factory!

 
At February 18, 2011 at 9:44 PM , Blogger Unknown said...

Such a cool loft!! And, I think they can sometimes be hard to decorate and feel cozy in. This one....does not have that problem at all. Great find!

Dear Stacey!
You have really got an eye for design. Well, to be honest I totally knew that about you already:)...
What is there not to LOVE about this place? It is all in my taste! The industrial lamps- want those, the marble countertop, the brick walls, the artwork -especially the one in steel hanging from the seeling- Gorgeous, the dining table chairs and everything else!!!
All my love!
