I couldn’t resist showing you this stripped back but still quietly glamorous interior of restaurant Dottir in Berlin’s hip Mitte district where renowned Icelandic chef Victoria Eliasdóttir serves fresh Nordic cuisine.

The grand dimensions date back to the 1880s and many of the original details remain. I love how the interior design has been carefully kept in a state of semi renovation with some beautiful vintage items like the 1930s bar stools, large abstract paintings and some antique lighting. It’s a great juxtaposition of old and new, drab and glamour and feeds the imagination.

DREAM HOLIDAY HOME | MINIMALIST IN GREECE

13 July 2015

Whilst I’m on my way West with the family and everything but the kitchen sink I’m leaving you with this beautiful minimalist dream holiday home in Greece.

Summer holidays are almost here and the shots by R Richard for Elle France capture the essence of easy summer living for me with an almost tangible laid-back atmosphere thanks to a relaxing combination of hot sunshine and a cooling breeze off the sea. Looking at these images makes me want to flop into a hammock and have a long siesta.

The minimalist, contemporary renovation features old favourites like polished concrete floors (do I ever feature a place without!?) white-washed walls and a perfect modern rustic kitchen combined with traditional open floor cabinets, not to mention the large outdoor dining space.

I might just turn the plane around and head East instead. Enjoy this little Greek getaway. There will be more holiday spam coming your way in the next couple of weeks. 😉

DREAM HOLIDAY HOME | ‘FIVE COLUMNS’ ESSAOUIRA

2 July 2015

dream holiday home, restored house, Essaouira, marrakech, morocco, worlds best surfing, unspoilt beaches, medina, renovation, restoration, paulina arcklin, simple, contemporary, ethnic, chic, style, travel, wifi, fully equipped kitchen, sleeps 8 people, wet rooms, sunny terrace, authentic, culture

The dream holiday home series continues with a beautifully restored 200 year old house in Morocco. The Five Columns is a 2.5hr drive from Marrakech in the laid back resort of Essaouira which I read has got some of the world’s best surfing and unspoilt sandy beaches as a well a bustling Medina with bakeries and fruit stalls all within a five minute walking distance.

The house has recently gone through a complete renovation and sympathetically restored retaining it’s original features such as the 5 sand stone columns that give the place it’s name. The shots are taken by one of my favourite photographers, Paulina Arcklin, whose personal style fits perfectly with the restored house: simple, contemporary, ethnic and chic. I even like the way she’s water marked all the images with her signature – true Paulina!

It’s a stunning home from home with a luxurious and comfortable feel and I can imagine going there with a group of friends for a relaxing holiday to soak up some authentic Moroccan culture and style with great cooking provided at extra cost by a local lady.

The fully equipped kitchen, central dining area and cosy fire place should make it easy to relax and feel at home straight away. They even have wifi and an iPod dock for those who don’t want to be off the grid. And the sunny terrace on the second floor has got sun loungers and an open-plan bar.

Does this have party written all over it!? There are 4 double bedrooms comfortably sleeping 8 people with en suite wet rooms. To find out more click here.

INTERIORS CRUSH | RENOVATED LOFT IN FRANCE

10 February 2015

interiors crush, renovation, loft, anduze, france, planet studio, decor, materials, industrial, modern rustic, vintage furniture, style, trend, interior design, interiors, styling

Oh what an Interiors Crush I have on this renovated loft by Planet Studio in Anduze, Southern France. I want to dive right in and touch all the surfaces… the rough wooden beams, the cool black steel, the floor which looks like polished concrete tiles to me though I suspect it’s something entirely different but equally clever.

It’s a beautiful mix of modern rustic with vintage furniture and I adore the industrial style pendant lights and the old armoire serving as a display cabinet for crockery and glassware. And what about those skylight windows!? They flood the place with light and make the former paper mill feel like an artists studio.

The semi-covered courtyard allows for sheltered dining al fresco and I love the three artfully hole punched globes above the table giving off some beautiful light and reflections.

Wouldn’t that work well for Valentine’s dinner!?

MODERN RUSTIC CABIN IN THE PYRENEES

17 November 2014

Let’s kickstart the week with a gorgeous example of Modern Rustic with wonderful textures and contrasting materials. A beautifully renovated stone house in the Spanish Pyrenees that retains it’s character despite the modernisation.

Restored and modernised by architect Carlos Nicolau his brief was to create a weekend get away where his clients could relax and live a simpler life. They wanted a complete antidote to their busy lifestyles in the city and reconnect with nature. The dilapidated building is an old farm in the mountains and needed it’s facade restoring as well as a new roof, running water and electricity.

I love the large open-plan living area divided by a minimal concrete fireplace open on two sides so the flames are visible from the bedroom and the living area. The exposed oak beams give a great sense of height and rest on three original stone pillars. The new floor-to-ceiling oak framed windows bring in lots of light and the deep window frames serve as extra seating to admire the view – perfect for some daydreaming.

Another favourite of mine is the clever bespoke kitchen island designed in black metal which looks like a large table and has ample space for preparation and cooking. The in-built storage doors are made of large oak boards that blend well with the flooring.

This is a cabin after my own taste and I love the combination of rough and smooth surfaces, cold and warm materials and the muted colour palette. I’m pretty sure I’d loose myself daydreaming on one of those window seats.
