It's not about faces, just places, spaces: Laetitia Lazerge's Home

Hot on the heels on such a success story that INAFJPS is, I bring you another spaces, places cracker.

I love that moment when you spot an image and your heart does a wee somersault.  Case-in-point, Laetitia's home in Paris.

All her bits are just right.  

To see more go to DesignSponge and check check.

It's not about faces, just places, spaces: Annon House

Haha.  Do you like my new segment name.  I do - I think it's hilarious!  

(NB:  I am an only child and have learnt from a very early age to entertain myself)

Also I've learnt to write the way I would want to be entertained - anyways I digress.

So here is a space for your eyes to look at...

Highs:

White-out wood.  I do love white wood.  Much better than wood wood.

Big rooms

Big ceilings

Arty art

That parquet flooring - oh my.

Little gems of colour

old vs new ratio is good

Bulls-eye pillows

Paper bag standard lamps (good lardy me)

Grey paint.  See it doesn't make it feel cold like ya Grandma told ya.

Lows:

Wood stair rail - paint that bitch out I say

Office chairs for dining table.  No.

So all in all, it's fantazzy.  Apologies as I know not-mucho about about it, as no links.  I did find it over at Diversion Project though.

A house in: Greece

Firstly - I would just like to apologise for not being around very much lately.  My work has been very busy (I no complaino) but it does mean less time on the blog.  

I'm hoping this post will make up for it...  Get your Greek juices flowing and all that.  

This home is in Piraeus, Athens GREECE.  A  310sqm neoclassical private residence beautifully restored by ASKarchitects.  It's a real old-meets-new story and I really love the balance - they got it just right.

Good Cop, Bad Cop: Bathroom

Hello, In todays "Good Cop, Bad Cop" post we have two bathrooms.  

Both contestants choosing a checkered bathroom floor tile and a lovely accent of blue.

I'm looking forward to seeing our two looks, so come with me and see who is our 'good' and who is our 'bad'.

It's no surprise this is the 'good'

Zoe Murphy's Bathroom found over at The Design Files - you gotta see the rest of this house!

The over sized marble tiles in a diagonal format make this spacious bathroom feel even roomier.  It's mono-chromatic scheme is spear-headed by an insanely bright blue, enhanced further by it's high gloss finish.  This bathroom is sophisticated, elegant with punches of whimsey and light.

And to our 'bad'.  

Found here and lucky for all concerned it is a 'before shot'

It's shit and made my eyes fall off.

Well that's all for today, but please come back next week when we explore more into the heady world of "Good Cop, Bad Cop" design...
