Happy in Happy Valley

A dark and dingy 3 bedroom apartment in Hong Kong's Happy Valley has been completely reworked and revived by architectural firm Lim + Lu. The idea was to explore the multi-use of spaces through a series and glass and black steel sliding doors. Rooms could expand and contract, be open or intimate all dependent on how the owners wished to use the space. Colour and pattern not only add a vibrancy and freshness to the apartment but also help delineate core living spaces from the extensions.

Pretty in white and pastels

As much as I love dark colours, this home is really beautiful in white and pretty pastels. Without a doubt it is easy on the eye and must be so relaxing to come home to after a long day. ++Scandinavian cool++. Design: Laura Melling and Portico Design Group, photos: WTFU.

Broadhurst Gardens

I wanted to share another British location home available via lordshippark.com. I am not usually much of a fan of pastel colours, but the large, rough around the edges reception room that is accented in pinks and blues is really pretty - especially the ceiling details. With a rustic, semi-industrial kitchen and an outdoor space to swoon over, this period home is cozy and so soooo lovely.
