A new kitchen and a staircase to the next floor. A simple design request with a fabulous outcome. Melbourne based Venn Architects believe space is what you make it. Their clever use of the transition up the staircase as a library is elegant and functional with a wonderful sense of space and light. No longer a kitchen diner. Perhaps a kitchen library?
I thought I would do a little something different today so last night I went through my inspiration folder (always a bit sad as it seems rebuilding this house is never going to become reality) and picked out all of the photos that really stand out and make me have heart palpitations. So here's the first batch.
This has been my favourite wood floor for EVER. I adore the rustic/raw look. DREAMY. (Via Hus & Hem)
While I love my current kitchen, black and white kitchens always get me going. The tile backsplash is perfection. (Via Anna Carin Design)
My next kitchen absolutely must have some sort of butler's pantry type situation going on. Check out the little space off this kitchen. (Elizabeth's lake house)
It's been quite some time since we featured Toronto interior designer Jennifer Worts. I see she's been hard at work perfecting her craft, and I am a huge fan of the less classic, more contemporary vibe she has gone with. I feel like I should give her the title of the Canadian Queen of Kitchens and Bathrooms because WOWZERS, they are spectacular. Each space is totally magazine worthy. (Stay tuned later for cottage spaces like you've never seen!)
I thought I'd get a bit artsy fartsy with you all this afternoon and feature two really creative projects by Parisian architecture firm 37.2 (made up of Francesca Bonesio and Nicolas Guiraud). First up we've got "cook on the wild side". This domestic installation is a portrait of our client Lise. Made of multiple oak pieces, it shows two distinctive sides of Lise's personality. The corridor side is a very symmetrical, neat, precise and tidy structure that turns wild. The kitchen side is a very instinctive, light and chaotic design that seems more fragile. What a fun way to hide an ugly hood fan!
I'm obsessed with gold/brass accents. Mix it with some marble and it's pretty freaking sexy if you ask me. :) Via Michaelis Boyd.
