Here’s an amazing apartment for you owned by the super talented Francois Halard. Mr or I should say Monsieur Halard’s pad is effortlessly chic he pushes his space into the fast lane of design by decorating distinctly. Paring a dashing green sofa with dark floors is heavenly. Also I am particularly taken with the photography on the walls, most rooms even the kitchen are peppered with some incredible images and so transitioning from space to space becomes an experience to savour.
I love the idea of creating separate nooks or zones in rooms even if you have small rooms. It just shouts snug, cosy, boutique hotel and is way more interesting than shoving furniture against walls.
Layer, layer and layer again. How beautiful is this image pictures resting on a mirror for a super relaxed feel. Am totally inspired now to create the very same thing for my hallway. Have been on the search for an old console for what feels like years and now I realise I should just go modern, make something out of cheap as chips wood and let the accessories do the talking.
The more I look at this space the more my mind starts working overtime. All I need is two plaster columns an oval piece of wood sprayed a glossy black hue and hey presto a dining room to literally die for! As Rachel Zoe would say – its bananas.
Who knows what I have been doing with my own kitchen I now realise I need art, art and more art
The first photo is fabulous! And the artwork divine… Am loving your blog, your style, your mix. Back since I first saw your house in Elle Decor Italia (I think). Thanks for blogging! – A fan in Barcelona
Thank you very much thats very sweet of you to say
Right, that is my perfect PERFECT house. I got one of those chequered shaggy rugs on a trek in the Atlas mountains last year and made the mule carry it. Reluctantly had to get rid though. So beautiful but even after a month on the washing line it made whole house stink of sheep. Mule karma obviously.
I know exactly what you mean – I once brought some really beautiful bags for the store which when they arrived smelt beyond bad. I had to hang them out on the line the whole summer long and even then the smell didn’t go! Neighbours thought I had a serious addiction to handbags
It’s such a shame. The hours and hours and the talent that goes into handcrafting these pieces and yet they’re commercially useless because of simple mistakes, the dye isn’t colourfast, the leather isn’t waterproof or the ceramics are brittle. Buy of the trip was a dead simple bowl/platter carved from a single enormous piece of thuya wood.
…about the Beni Ouarain Carpets – might anyone know where i can get a reasonably priced non-smelly one in the U.S.? …even a well done knock-off might work. Thanks in advance for your help. I’m a fan of your/the blog and gave your book as a Christmas gift.
freshest images I have seen in a while…
