Home This was a “house of the day” featured on the WSJ website a while back. Although the condo is a city condo, it breathes and evokes an essence of beach-ness don’t you think? I absolutely love the funkiness of its aesthetic – the pale blue walls mixed with darker blue floors (which i LOVE by the way, go gloss go!), the more contemporary kitchen mixed with Danish modern furnishings, worldly accents mixed with design classics…yet it all still feels so fresh airy and for sure lived in.
Check out the fun knobs in the bathroom too!

Kaypee Soh Art Ooohhh la la! Kaypee just showed us these two new pieces he’s done for a project. Just LOVE them and can imagine them in a fun surf lounge/coffee shop type space (as well as a home of course!). It’s like Christmas every time a new piece pops out of the printer…
“Wind”
“Water Leaves”

Finds Minus the horrid granite and paneled cabinets, this is such a cute kitchen! A colored concrete countertop would have been my choice, keep it feeling rustic and aged with a little whimsey. And of course, simple Shaker style cabinetry but overall, the feel and warmth of the space is fabulous. I just love the brick floors and exposed beams and all the jars and hanging pots… The Wall Street Journal Real Estate section is my new obsession, so many fun homes and articles…check it out if you get a chance.
On a side note, I started the day with this image in mind, which led me to finding the kitchen…kind of fun to see what evolved from that original vision, such a similar feel…

Delights Just came across the work of industrial designer, Gry Fager and fell in love with this modern picnic style porcelain. She used “recognizable patterns in new and unconventional ways”, hence the kitchen-towel and cloth like pattern so beautifully executed. I love the simplicity and aesthetic it provokes and would be delighted to be using this everyday in my kitchen!
