One apartment three ways

One report, three interior stylists, one apartment, three ways. When Sweden's leading real estate brokerage firm Fastighetsbyrån wanted to know what effect styling a home for sale had on the price and how fast it sold they enlisted the aid of design psychologist Sally Augustin. Her report shows that home styling works if done correctly. The buyer must connect consciously and unconsciously with the home. They need to imagine themselves living there, moving right in, daydreaming and scheming how to get it. OK we all say. Fair enough. Nothing new there. That could have been the end of Fastighetsbyrån's research but ... they decided to take it one step further. They took one apartment and let three stylists, Mikael Beckman, Hans Blomquist and Tina Hellberg, mess with our minds and our hearts and make it into their version of our dream home. They put the research in practice. So now there is one apartment three ways and I have one big problem. I can't make up my mind which one I am moving into. They are all tugging at my heart strings.

The Craftsman Workshop

Yet another workspace that makes my cubicle look like a HOLE. The Craftsman Workshop is the latest design of  Bucharest’s architects Alexandru Calin and Vlad Draghescu. The workshop hosts the new office of a young and fast growing Romanian software company, Softescu in downtown Bacau, Romania. If this place doesn't get these IT nerds' energy level up I don't know what will. :)

Monday beauty

I'm facing my Mondayitis. I'm not running away to a virtual bolt hole. My new solution is a strong dose of something beautiful. Today I'm in love with this glorious photograph by Beth Evans. Drink it in. Stay still. Sigh it out. Done.

The Cross Design - Laneway house

I adore this Vancouver home designed by The Cross Design. It's spunky and feminin and ethnic and OMG the doses of pink throughout! It makes me love pink again. And makes me smile. This is a happy home. 

P.S. By the time this post publishes, I should be an aunt for the fourth time. Congrats Jen and Dave! :)
