Stalking one

Got my checklist for today's real estate stalking. Apartment in an old textile factory. Tick. Saw-tooth roof line. Tick. Large metal framed windows. Tick. Inner city Melbourne, Fitzroy to be precise. Tick. Red brick. Double tick. Think my factory conversion wish list is complete. If the owners throw in the hanging garden of string and moss wrapped plants then I might just sign on the dotted line. I'm stalking the first of two industrial style apartments. Link here while it lasts.

P.S. If you are looking for moss ball plants in Australia then try Mister Moss. Mine was a Christmas gift and it is still going strong.

A compact loft

If you've got to live in a small space, why not make it a loft? Nothing like soaring cielings to make you forget how little square footage you actually have. That's why I love this little downtown Salt Lake CIty, Utah loft for sale by cityhomeCollective. It's a 452 sq ft space with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom over 2 floors with a little patio to boot. LOVE the brick exterior, original hardwood and exposed ductwork. A funky bachelor  pad(or bachlorette if you throw in some feminine touches).

A Tribeca loft

Check out this fabulous loft by Dirk Denison Architects in collaboration with Sara Story Design. It's just the right amount of modern design, sophistication and comfort. The black steel (?) beams and black framed windows are a cool, graphic touch, and I love the sleek integrated look to the kitchen cabinetry. Yep, I could certainly live here.

Lofty dreams

One day, I have to experience living in a loft. With soaring ceilings, massive windows, exposed brick and concrete...lofts will always be one of my favourite spaces. I fell in love with this dreamy loft, designed by Brazilian architect and designer Luiz Fernando Grabowsky - it has everything I mentioned and more. That storage wall in the kitchen/dining area is gorgeous and totally functional. The art wall over the bed draws your eyes up and is a perfect contrast to the opposing storage wall. LOVE!!
