Green With Envy

     I stumbled upon a pin of this delightful space on Pinterest and had to hunt down the source which brought me to a magical glimpse into Dirac Castle. As a color lover, I was absolutely "green with envy" and immediately fell in love with the splashes of green punctuated throughout. The green painted doors are everything! Additionally, as a plant lover, I love how they've adorned their spaces with plants-so welcoming.  The textures, the materials used, the details, the decor; really everything about Dirac Castle envelopes you and makes you feel right at home.

Dreamy, isn't it? xx

Quiet Elegance in Seattle

This light filled apartment in Seattle is very easy on the eyes. There is a quiet elegance about each space and it is clear that each object was meticulously placed. There is a sense of calm as one goes from room to room despite the evidence that the interior designer who lives there, Terry Hunziker is clearly a collector, there is a sense of order to how everything in each space is artfully arranged.

I think most of us are either covered in snow and freezing or if we don't have snow, we're still freezing. Yikes! Stay warm folks. xx

This Artist's Home Does Not Disappoint

           'The owners are both artists. They have quite wild tastes and they love strong colours,' says Beata Heuman, the interior designer of this wondrous home.  'I was told by the wife that her childhood dream was to have a house with a series of rooms each with its own distinct personality - Chinese, Japanese, American and so on. That would have been too much, but I did want to give the house variation and changes of mood.' This inversion of the usual dynamic - clients requiring encouragement to embrace bold decorative concepts - was an early characteristic of the project. 'It is one thing looking at something and thinking it is cool. It is very different living with it,' says Beata. 'I wanted the house to be fun and uplifting, but also comfortable and not too "full on".'

          I would say mission accomplished! This home is such a visual delight...

Happy Wednesday everyone. xx
