SMALL SPACES | WHITE HOUSE IN DELFT

28 May 2014

After so much colour on the blog last week I want to share a very pure white interior with you today that caught my eye on the fabulous Nordic Days blog.

It’s a second home in Delft, Netherlands and was renovated by the talented designers Nathalie and Tessa from Nu Interieur Ontwerp with the brief of making the small space feel as big and bright as possible.

I’m always fascinated by white spaces and how they make you feel. Just from looking at the photos I feel strangely uplifted and calm. With the white floors boards, walls, ceiling and stairs it reminds me of a photographers studio and I particularly like all the in-built storage space and the neat little window seat in the kitchen for, errr… day-dreaming – at least that’s what I would do.

I like how the few plants and natural wooden elements break the space up a little and give it a bit of a homely feel. I also spotted a fire place which I’m sure will make this just the cosiest space and I can see the owner snuggling up with her adorable dog on the sofa.

There are also some clever design elements that Nathalie and Tessa incorporated like their leather strap handles which come in different sizes and colours and the little oak foot stool that I’ve fallen in love with. A gorgeous design, sturdy, useful and only getting better with age – perfect.

I love this white house! And now I want to paint my own home all white. *day-dreams*

COOL STUFF | ECLECTIC STORE FENTON AND FENTON

19 May 2014

Hello and happy Monday to you! We had amazingly hot weather and sunshine (!) here in the UK over the weekend and I started to manically pull out all our summer clothes and sandals. Only to discover that when I finally got everything together the boys were already jumping in and out of the paddling pool without any clothes on! Obvs! 😉

Somehow the warm temperatures and explosion in nature made me think that I should embrace colour a bit more on the blog so this week will be a colourful one for a change which I hope you’ll enjoy.

Today features the brilliantly eclectic and colourful Australian home wares company Fenton and Fenton which I found whilst browsing on Pinterest late one night. I love the styling of these shots and that it’s all curated and carefully selected by owner Lucy Fenton who manages to combine her love of travel with a passion for vibrant and unusual home furnishings and artefacts. She says:

The range at Fenton And Fenton reflects Lucy’s bold and adventurous spirit, her love of colour and expresses a style that dares to mix and match objects, origins and eras.

Fenton and Fenton offers a unique shopping experience on- and off-line with an eclectic collection of home wares and lifestyle products. Where else would you find antique, reproduction and recycled timber furniture pieces next to one-off curios, artwork, fashion and jewellery!?

I love that it’s all individually and ethically sourced from around the world and the team even offer a bespoke service on specific items and advice on your interior design needs. What a great find! And BTW I want that stag head, one of the rescue rings, the number 1 tote and some black beaded bracelets please.

BEACH HOUSE FILLED WITH CHARACTER

6 May 2014

Beach-House-by-Brooke-Holm-via-Share-Design-11

I saw this character filled Australian beach house back in the autumn on Share Design and thought it would be a great Springtime feature because of the slightly retro and colourful interior. Photography and styling is by one of my favourite Australian duos Brooke Holm and Marsha Golemac who seem to be on the proverbial roll.

I love the architecture of the house which is reminiscent of a house boat with it’s long, two-storey shape and wide decks at different levels. The design was mostly brought to life by the owners themselves who took a photo from Wallpaper magazine as inspiration. Not a bad starting point!

My favourite element has to be the enclosed glass spiral staircase and the timber cladding – horizontal (and white) inside, contrasting with vertical (and black) on the outside blending nicely into the rugged Victorian landscape.

Another reason I wanted to share this project with you is the unique interior with it’s mint green kitchen cabinets and multitude of colours and fabric patterns throughout the house against a very Scandinavian backdrop of white walls and ceiling which calms it down just enough not to be overbearing.

And how cute is that little tree house with it’s own rope ladder and boat at the end of the garden!? My kids would have a ball in there!

INTERIORS CRUSH | VINTAGE HOUSE DAYLESFORD

2 May 2014

Vintage-House-Daylesford-via-Stylejuicer-12

Happy Friday y’all. My love affair with Australian architecture/design/interiors… basically everything, continues today with an absolute highlight.

It’s the home of stylist Kali Cavanagh who had this 1860s cottage lovingly restored, now sharing it with friends and family as a weekend getaway. Set in Victoria Vintage House Daylesford has a stunning mix of old and new, quirky finds and a wealth of materials on display. Animal skin rugs, rusty iron work, rough wood or smooth marble it’s all under one gorgeous roof.

I love the fact that every room has it’s own character ranging form white Scandi influences in the master bedroom and en-suite to a shabby chic country kitchen with a to-die-for pale blue Chambers oven found in LA.

The living room has a dark and cosy feel reminiscent of an old gentlemens club with brown leather Chesterfield sofa and arm chairs and an antique French cast-iron fireplace above which hangs an original French cafe sign from Côté Provence.

Wherever you look there are eclectic finds from around the world like French stable doors, subway tiles, antique wooden shutters, a vintage fan, a framed Union Jack flag, industrial style pendant lights and a fabulous cast-iron bath.

Kali is clearly a talented interior designer and clever business woman as the house is also available as a location hire for photo shoots. Check out Vintage House Daylesford for more inspiring photographs.

SORRENTO BEACH HOUSE BY SHAREEN JOEL DESIGN

17 April 2014

Sorrento-Beach-House-Shareen-Joel-Design-via-Stylejuicer-07

This beautiful weekend getaway on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria belongs to interior designer and founder of inspiration blog Share Design Shareen Joel and her family of four. I’m rather envious of her little gem as in my opinion it has all the components that a home-from-home should have: set in a great (coastal) location with a sociable layout and a simple, casual and relaxed interior.

Cleverly integrated into the coastal landscape the house with it’s L-shaped floor plan is easy to live in centering around a sheltered decked terrace and an old Moonah tree. The natural light flooding in from those gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows helps with the flow of the semi open-plan space where the living and kitchen/dining areas are partitioned off with a (kitchen) storage unit and integrated wood burner. A sign that even in Victoria it does get chilly which for some reason I find hard to fathom.

What I love most about the house is the black timber cladding and contrasting natural timber window frames and doors. On entering the space is almost completely white with Larch floorboards and a mix of vintage and design pieces. Accent colours are kept to a minimum and only provided through crockery and soft furnishings. The overall feel is very clean and minimalist with natural textures like wood and worn leather chairs taking the lead.

I wish there were more shots of the outside of the house and the surrounding landscape as I’m sure the coastline must be beautiful and I read that Shareen’s husband and son are sailing nuts. Maybe the outside shower with the old fashioned zinc tub is for them to rinse off after a tough ride on the ocean waves!?
