    Modern kitchen: A modern spin on Shaker style in this stunning kitchen

    Modern Kitchen

    This kitchen caught my eye instantly.  I love the clean aesthetic of Shaker style, but I also love the finishes and materials in modern design.  This kitchen from DeVol marries the two.  You’ll also be surprised to know that this modern kitchen isn’t in LA or the Hamptons, it’s in the Hertfordshire countryside of England.

    The pale herringbone parquet with a limed finish are probably my favorite part of the space. I also really like the contrasting island and cabinetry.

    Even though this kitchen has a cool, calm rustic feel, it is in the coach house of a Victorian family home.

    As you can tell, light plays a huge factor in the space.  The understated pendants don’t take away from the amazing natural light from the skylights.

    LOVE the Crittall style doors, which lead out to a garden.

    The brass cabinet hardware is a perfect choice.

  • A French apartment with amazing classical bones mixed with modern furniture

    Decorative moulding, parquet floors, lead panel windows…do I have your attention?  Now add bold pops of color and the clean lines and minimalistic nature of modern furnishings and you have a design buffs wonderland.  Behold, in this Bordeaux apartment below:

    Those herringbone parquet floors my friends…how gorgeous are they?

    A worn leather armchair has been on my wishlist for a long, long time, pair it with those lead lined windows and classical moulding and you have one heavenly reading nook.

    19th century decorative moulding, wainscoting, and original wood floors are present throughout the apartment. 

    Aqua blue in the kitchen, mixed with stainless steel and wood cabinetry is an unusual combination.

    The master bedroom has the feeling of sleeping in an old library.

  • Parquet floors are still in?

    I don’t love all the parquet patterns, but I LOVE herringbone parquet. I thought today I’d just share some examples of how gorgeous it can be…

    What was your initial reaction to parquet and what do you think now? Could you see yourself having parquet floors?

    Every now ant then I like to pull up the websites of companies that manage properties for movie and photo shoot rentals.  Here are a few favorite spaces I found this time.
