It is definitely no secret that I love a loft ... and this fine example is no exception ...
Certainly not as shabby and rambly as I am normally drawn to, but the gallery like spaces have really captured my attention ...
Take a minute to really look at the room above - it has been designed so cleverly to really take advantage of that wall of windows...I can't get enough of that bright white everywhere ... from the glossy floor to the bookshelves at the far end ...
I love the mutey colours and the use of rugs to anchor each 'room' ...
Venetian mirrors get me every time ...
Close up shot of these fabulous cubby holes ...I am a massive fan of freestanding furniture in the middle of a room to act as a division and an anchor ...
Note the gallery like accent lighting and chandelier - good to mix it up a bit ...
This gorgeous wardrobe is around the back of the bookshelves ...What a lovely spot to sit and read (or have a glass of wine ...)
Another glorious freestanding piece of furniture ...Don't you hate a desk against a wall ... I like to see what is going on!
And those sconces are just dreamy!
Certainly more modern than my usual style, but perhaps I am growing up a bit!

ReplyDeleteLOVING THIS! My total dream space! - and in that dream it also has an outdoor area similar to that in Richard Gere's apartment in 'Autumn in New York".....
ReplyDeleteMmmm...I love the couch in that first photo! If I remember correctly, Gunklemann Flesher are a little obsessed with that couch and use it in several of their interiors...Fine by me!

Yes, I'm with Luce here Emm - don't like playing favourites but this is by far todays BEST post in the whole of blogland! Oh that Venetian mirror over the wash-stand - too, too gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMillie ^_^
So.....what do you think those floors REALLY look like after people walk around on them? I see white floors in decorating magazines all time time and LOVE THEM. But I don't understand how they do not get dirty and ugly. Do they? And you just don't see it in the magazines??
ReplyDeleteAnyone?
Thanks!!!!
Jennifer
Kim, I love that you remember that courtyard - I used to pause on that scene!
ReplyDeleteAnd Luce and Millie, thanks, I agree - am developing a more modern style I think, but still love a bit of a scrubby something or branchy bit in a corner!
And Jennifer, I agree but I can suffer having to clean daily for such a stunning gallery like space - how we suffer in the name of beauty!
I am loving all of these pics. Keep'em comming. Heidi
