Stalking

It's a cold, wet day and I'm chained to my computer. What's a girl to do? Why surreptitiously real estate stalk that's what. How about a warehouse apartment in inner city Sydney, in über cool Darlinghurst? What I like about this space is that it's old school warehouse, a little rough around the edges, not renovated to death to look like a display home. Open plan, few walls. So while I'm sitting here chained to my computer I'm daydreaming of how I'd configure the space if I owned it. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking Sydney

I'm stalking a lovely family home in inner city Sydney. The Woollahra property is by Dowse Architects with interiors by Anna Carin Design. Ah you say. You thought it looked familar. Yes I featured it a few years ago but it's great to see how the house has matured and to peek into other rooms not seen on the designer's website. Link here while it lasts.

Not quite white

Still on my mission to show that not every Swedish styled real estate listing is white on white Scandinavian boho. How about a touch of Granny chic? Not crocheted rugs and silk boho lampshades Granny chic. More traditional wallpaper, shaker style green kitchen and of course those fabulous kakelugnar. Yes there are still bare floors, rustic bleached furniture, mid century classics, an Ay Illuminate clone and a bedroom that doesn't conform to my anti-white scandi code but it's not cookie cutter. Unfortunately for us this lovely Stockholm 2 bed apartment is sold. Link here while it lasts.

Moody Scandinavian

White walls seem to be getting a bad rap this days. All those insipid white walls. There is nothing washed-out about this Swedish apartment though. Moody greys add depth and character, acting as a foil to all the Scandi white. A small 32 m² home with style and personality recently sold by Stockholm real estate brokers Historiska Hem.

A fun little apartment in Stockholm

I found another apartment for sale on Lagerlings that I had to share. This one is spunky and fun in a fairly small footprint (63 m²). It consists of basically 2 rooms - a combined kitchen/dining room/living room and a bedroom. Some photography framed and hung along with a gallery wall add some drama to the walls and the floor to ceiling shelving in the dining room is a great storage solution and also adds some architectural interest to the space. A glamorous bedroom with stripes, satin curtains and faux fur round off the drama. (And I'm guessing the homeowner found a really awesome sale on Kartell Bourgie lamps).
