Bricks Amsterdam - part 1

Last week I received an adorable pet photo from James van der Velden, and his email included a link to his design firm called Bricks Amsterdam. I nearly fell off my chair when I took a peek at his portfolio. His style ROCKS. James calls it "timeless eclecticism". I love every bit of it - the neutral colour palette of black, brown, white and tan, the overscale furnishings and accessories, the industrial elements and use of linen. That right there is the recipe for great decor (IMHO). James kindly sent me tons of photos from 3 of his projects which I'll be sharing here today and tomorrow. This one is my favourite, and I believe it is James' own home - a penthouse apartment on the canals of Amsterdam. *SWOON*

Jeltje, a photographer from Amsterdam, emailed in the hopes that we might be interested in posting some of her photos. After taking a peek at her website and her blog, and picking my jaw up off the floor, I wrote her back and said "FOR SURE!!!". Stunning. And she's only 26.
