I honestly don't know why I'm so enthralled with the dining space above. Maybe it's because I've never seen small kitchen appliances look so good on display.

Stalking a beautifully renovated art deco era apartment in Sydney's Rushcutters Bay. Open flow living and dining with clever wrap around kitchen. Sunny, bright and all white the space is warmed by the use of timber benchtops with a dash of red in the backsplash as focus. Everything is sleek and clean lined with minimal furniture and art. Something annoys me though. The large piece of leather carelessly wrapped around the couch. Deliberate wabi sabi? Haven't sent the couch out to be upholstered yet? Forgot to straighten it before the photo shoot? It's driving me crazy in the otherwise zen like apartment. Link here while it lasts.
Just because. Photography by Julia Hoersh, styling by Andreas Lichtenstein.
Nicolet, a real estate developer from Amsterdam, emailed with a really impressive project she just completed that I had to share. It is an 90 m2 apartment in De Pijp area. The Ruysdaelkade is formally known as a red light district. It is a studio with a walk-in bedroom and walk-in bathroom. I created a patio to provide more day light. I bought it as on office and turned it into an apartment. It is build around 1920 as a temporary church in name of our Queen, but unfortunately there are no signes of that anymore. Unfortunately, for the sale of houses in Amsterdam, everything needs to be pretty plain without being to eccentric. I absolutely love the simplicity of the space. It allows the gorgeous details to stand out - like the hardwood floors (YES!!). And that patio - so cool!!! (View the listing here)
It's all in the details. Two stylish kitchens by Workstead. The first defined by tailored cabinetry with highlights of rich timber and brass accents. The second plays with ideas of storage . Beautiful timber boxes tumble across the kitchen walls while kitchen cabinets are rich and warm but still subtle in their finish. Not your everyday high gloss, over designed McMansion kitchens. Simple, restrained, delicate.
