Swedish Rustindustriamodern

The EPITOME of eclectic, this apartment in Stockholm strikes a perfect balance of rustic, industrial, vintage, and modern.

All white everything with pops of color, texture, artwork, industrial lighting, and found objects.... I couldn't feel more at home in this space!














love y'all!

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

old train depot revived and repurposed

"For almost 100 years, electric generators buzzed in this building on the outskirts of Gstaad, Switzerland." For the past few years it had been vacant and inoperable. That is, until architect Antonie Bertherat-Kioes decided it would be the perfect chalet for her family of six.


Here is the basic layout she decided on for the space. You will see, that instead of trashing the generators that gave this building it's original purpose, she worked them into her design in a very clever way!




The MASSIVE generators would have seemed an eyesore and a waste of space for most. However, by repurposing them, the architect preserved much the character and the history of the building. Now, instead of "looking old and in the way", they seem like they're part of the decor and function of the new home.

Artist retreat on the French countryside


THIS HOME IS INCREDIBLE! It is seriously one the most organic and beautiful rustic spaces I've ever seen. Every room seems comfortably lived in. And, the two separate outdoor spaces are ridiculously beautiful!













What a charming rustic retreat for a very lucky artist. I'm inspired and just a little bit jealous.

Italian Barn Renovation

I'm not crazy about the furniture selection, but everything else about this space is incredible. I love how the home is isolated in the middle of a hay field. The old barn has so much character that was well preserved and the finishes they used in the restoration are dead-on. I especially love the repetition in the arched walkways and windows in the main living space.










So, I was a bit confused about why they decided to do these glass panel walls to isolate the bedroom and bath, but after looking a bit closer, I realized that the glass is "tent-able"... meaning if you flip a switch, you have instant privacy! BUT, if you want that open airy feel, like you see in the picture, you can have that too! Pretty great design element for such a wide-open space like this with tons of natural light!





Love y'all! Have a GR8 WEEKEND!
