Contrasts

Old and new, black and white, minimal and wealth. Lots of contrast but well choosen works awesome! I'm just lookin for a wood burning stove like this one, believe me it's really hard to find similar one. Actually I'm looking for someone who would build one for my customer...

White backgound always work!

Week ago I wrote about well minimal-designed attic. This time i fond something simillar, but without stones. Whats special about this one? A coffie table made of raw wood. Everthing in this room is well thought out. Colours, white background, photo gallery on the wall. But the coffie table gives final look for the whole room.

Mansion kitchen with fireplace

I few weeks ago i went with my team work check our next assigment. I'm working on the renovation of nineteenth-century villas and mansions quite often, so another one didn't impress me. But while I saw the kitchen in the basement I realized it will be a really interesing challenge. Fireplaces for cooking was very common in the nineteenth-century, just imagine those bustling cooks and servants. A lot's of ideas comes to my mind and still coming. I want to add a little modern touch with metal and aluminium accessories. Cabinets will be made of raw wood... I think we made something truly outstanding.

Here it is - "my kitchen" looks almost exacly the same ->

Fireplace specialist

Dear friend of mine started just started a blog about his work. Why I'm writing here about this? Because he making incerdible things! I meet him when I was working at old cottage renovation. Cottage owner hired me for decorating and improve home and John were working with chimneys and fireplaces. You need to know – at the cottage kitchen was awesome old (from ninethy century) fireplace for cooking, sadly it was completely devastated. 

John has done a really good work, I regret to took an “before – after” pictures. That would be really something – you wouldn't belive your eyes! Afterwards, I keep in touch with John. And here is his blog – about his work with fireplaces and stoves. Be sure to check it!

Minimal colours

Usually I do preffer rich decorative interors. You know - chandeliers, vases, baroque motives and all in-between.
But last time i absolutley fell in love with minimal decorative at large spaces - like in this picture. Whoever said that greys colours can be rich - he was wrong. A little piece of silver, chrome and white fur on the floor add special and unique luxurious felling. However grey shades and black colour are consider to be not cozy. But look - pireplace, fur and huge windows (add natural light) adds lots of cozy felling.
Absolutley amazing!
