I'm so inspired by this!!
Here are some inspiring storage solutions...
the designerpad.com this is just so inspiring |
neat and tidy, a good solution to create space for both plants and books |
I would love to put my hands on something as cool as this file cabinet |
i don't know why this has always been one of my favourite things, a library around the windows.. |
Opening my Scrapbook
I have a huge folder full of cut-outs from interior design magazines etc, that I've collected over the years.
This is one of them, they are images from an article I read on MarieClaire Maison years ago about a charming bed and breakfast in Brussels: Chambre en Ville.
It's not the style I would normally go for, but some of the objects the owner selected are so particular, and the cupboard in the kitchen is just amazing.

The table is surrounded by chairs of different styles Note the antique ladder beside the shelving. |
One of the bedrooms and another lovely neutral paint on the walls |
I love the antique console table give a romantic touch to the bathroom |
Again the chairs around this table have all been painted in different pastel colours |
I love the details of the key rings |
Another one of the bedroom painted in a colour that reminds me of the "skylight" shade made by Farrow and Ball |
Home Extension the Glass Box
I love this home extension project by David Mikhail Architects in particular the material used. The black wood, the cherry wood the bricks and the glass, mix in so well and it's so elegant yet urban & "edgy"

Total white?
Do you love white? This is a good solution to make a total white home look warm and welcoming.
Contraindication: just make sure your dog is of a slightly different shade of white...

Old barn - Total make over
Here is a great project by Maxwan Architects
It is an old barn on a beautiful site on the river Linge in the city of Geldermalsen.
I love the large piece of furniture that also serves as kitchen, storage, stairs and library all at once.
The old barn restored |

This staircase is also used as a library, reading area and s part of the kitchen presses |
Can you keep a secret?
I found the most amazing website!!! and now I'm goung to buy myself a nice treat!!
I can't believe they sell this sofa for only £599 instead of £2.999.
There also are some beautiful tables and chairs... here is the link, but keep it to yourself!
Another DIY project
Did I tell you I like pallets?
I like them so much that I actually make my husband going around with me at night in the market area in Dublin to collect unwanted and abandoned pallet in need of love and care!
With a couple of pallets I have made a pretty garden table (which I'll show you some time) but for now, study this project here below, because it's cute!

Modern Small city Garden
I adore this creation by Modular Garden a small city garden designed on two levels,.
Multiplies the space and the impact of the vegetation.
I would say you need a minimum of 7 meters length to reproduce something similar to this garden.
I also think they could have used the space underneath the second level for storage...

Free standing kitchens
More and more I'm interested in freestanding kitchens, because the way the compromise between functionality and warmth.
In general I love kitchens that make you feel at home, where you can be surrounded by your things, and when you come back after a day of work even looking at the morning cereals is kind of reassuring, on the other side I'm quite demanding in terms of functionality and storage space and my ideal is a professional kitchen, easy to clean and comfortable to use.
Freestanding kitchens matching materials like stainless steel and wood are a really good solution.
Here is my choice:

Colour palette for 2011 - Something blue
Blue seem to be the new hot colour for interior design. Beautiful on the floor if you dare painting your house old floorboards I recommend Farrow and Ball floor paint, "drawing room blue" or "hague blue" would be my choice)
Match it with grey, red, ocra - brown & C, here is a small selection of objects I made for you...

Not the usual pull out bed
Pull out beds are always associated with cheap design and poor quality. But this is definitely not true when you talk about a pull out bed made by Futura, the company that invented the first pull out bed mechanismsn (by - Mr Luigi Recalcati)
The company offers a huge variety of sofas, armchairs and poufs that become beds if necessary, all of them have a distinctive design and great functionality.
I went to visit their show room and I was really impressed with the quality of the products and also with the beauty of some of them.
The first couch I want to present in my blog is Game that becomes a double chaise long or a double bed 153X200 without even having to move it away from the wall. Pure genius (Ps: it is a patented system)
