Who doesn’t dream of traveling the world in search of unique and exotic items? On Sailor’s Island, Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil, a summer house was created for family and guests. The look and feel of its eclectic interior design is gorgeous, featuring colorful rugs, modern candle holders and lighting fixtures, traditional pieces of art, while here and there you can also spot classic suitcases which enhance the concept of travel and exploration.

Using the words pastel and power, the one next to the other might sound a little odd, pastels being mostly correlated with sweetness, calmness, innocence and often a feminine or even “girly” mood. Lately though, more and more interior trends are emphasizing the indeed powerful impact pastel touches can have when incorporated in modern homes. It’s all a matter of the right mix, the right amounts and there you have it! The gorgeous home residence I’m sharing here with you today has been sitting in my folders as a “good example of a mix of pastels used in an overall architecturally and chromatically minimal space.

Sukha Amsterdam shop is on the top three list of favorites by talented blogger and interior stylist Desire, a “tough lady” with an exquisite approach to design and great taste in shopping. Through reading her blog Vosges Paris, I got myself familiar to this concept store (which despite my five visits in the city of canals and bicycles the past few years is still waiting patiently on my list of ” awesome places to see”). At Sukha, the interior changes a few times around the year, proving how capable and inspired the styling team working there is. Continue reading
For the Asplund family that lives in Stockholm, Scandinavian design is something more than just a superb way of arranging their living environment. As owners of their own furniture store, named after their family, the Asplund store, they have incorporated in their home’s design many of the elements available in their store. Scandinavian design therefore is indeed for them a way of life, both in professional and personal spectrum. Characteristic cabinets, carpets, lights, chairs and carefully selected decoration and kitchen objects all are combined together to make up a very individual, inviting and functional space.

Are you ready for yet another visit to a gorgeous property? This time we are flying to {well, unless you are already located there!} the north of Sweden geographically and chronologically back to the 18th century. A fabulous combo don’t you think? This rustic farmhouse has been carefully and so beautifully renovated by the owners and the architects and designers they hired, in order to keep intact some of its charm dating back to the years, while becoming modern and functional for the needs of a rather large family.

“Paris is always a good idea” said lovely Audrey Hepburn. She was far from wrong and this is why I’m sharing here with you another Parisian home residence. This time it is a modern atelier located north of the city. It belongs to interior designer Marianne Evennou and her husband Frank Evennou, who is an artist. Both their identities are reflected throughout the whole place, as art meets design and interior architecture in such a fabulous way. Continue reading
Today I’m sharing a most interesting approach that combines kitchen, ecology and effective recycling. I must admit that quite a lot of time has been spent from me diving deeper and deeper into its details in order to come up with a few basics to share with you. At the beginning it seemed to me that I was learning about a NASA program!
Completely astonished, line by line read, I was being informed about how in fact the vision of some people can have a great impact on our everyday living and our lives on this planet. Continue reading

This remodeled roof top in Paris has been landing on my laptop’s screen over and over again lately. The final notice that the time has indeed come to share it with you was when I stumbled upon it this morning browsing through one of my favorite German Interior magazines that come home monthly.
The dark colors that the two architects has used to create their warm abode for themselves and their son, situated on the last floor of an old convent {yes indeed!} in the center of the city of lights attracted me in an usual manner, me being a lover of white, Scandinavian like interiors.
