In the early light of a May dawn this is what the living room of my apartment looks like: Over the white marble and granite gas-log fireplace hangs an original David Onica. It’s a six-foot-by-four-foot portrait of a naked woman, mostly done in muted grays and olives, sitting on a chaise longue watching MTV, the backdrop a Martian landscape, a gleaming mauve desert scattered with dead, gutted fish, smashed plates rising like a sunburst above the woman’s yellow head, and the whole thing is framed in black aluminum steel. The painting overlooks a long white down-filled sofa and a thirty-inch digital TV set from Toshiba; it’s a high-contrast highly defined model plus it has a four-corner video stand with a high-tech tube combination from NEC with a picture-in-picture digital effects system (plus freeze-frame); the audio includes built-in MTS and a five-watt-per-channel on-board amp. A Toshiba VCR sits in a glass case beneath the TV set; it’s a super-high-band Beta unit and has built-in editing function including a character generator with eight-page memory, a high-band record and playback, and three-week, eight-event timer. A hurricane halogen lamp is placed in each corner of the living room. Thin white Venetian blinds cover all eight floor-to-ceiling windows. A glass-top coffee table with oak legs by Turchin sits in front of the sofa, with Steuben glass animals placed strategically around expensive crystal ashtrays from Fortunoff, though I don’t smoke. Next to the Wurlitzer jukebox is a black ebony Baldwin concert grand piano. A polished white oak floor runs throughout the apartment. On the other side of the room, next to a desk and a magazine rack by Gio Ponti, is a complete stereo system (CD player, tape deck, tuner, amplifier) by Sansui with six-foot Duntech Sovereign 2001 speakers in Brazilian rosewood. A down-filled futon lies on an oakwood frame in the center of the bedroom. Against the wall is a Panasonic thirty-one-inch set with a direct-view screen and stereo sound and beneath it in a glass case is a Toshiba VCR. I’m not sure if the time on the Sony digital alarm clock is correct so I have to sit up then look down at the time flashing on and off on the VCR, then pick up the Ettore Sottsass push-button phone that rests on the steel and glass nightstand next to the bed and dial the time number. A cream leather, steel and wood chair designed by Eric Marcus is in one corner of the room, a molded plywood chair in the other. A black-dotted beige and white Maud Sienna carpet covers most of the floor. One wall is hidden by four chests of immense bleached mahogany drawers. In bed I’m wearing Ralph Lauren silk pajamas and when I get up I slip on a paisley ancient madder robe and walk to the bathroom. I urinate while trying to make out the puffiness of my reflection in the glass that encases a baseball poster hung above the toilet. After I change into Ralph Lauren monogrammed boxer shorts and a Fair Isle sweater and slide into silk polka-dot Enrico Hidolin slippers I tie a plastic ice pack around my face and commence with the morning’s stretching exercises. Afterwards I stand in front of a chrome and acrylic Washmobile bathroom sink—with soap dish, cup holder, and railings that serve as towel bars, which I bought at Hastings Tile to use while the marble sinks I ordered from Finland are being sanded—and stare at my reflection with the ice pack still on. I pour some Plax antiplaque formula into a stainless-steel tumbler and swish it around my mouth for thirty seconds. Then I squeeze Rembrandt onto a faux-tortoise-shell toothbrush and start brushing my teeth (too hung over to floss properly—but maybe I flossed before bed last night?) and rinse with Listerine. Then I inspect my hands and use a nailbrush. I take the ice-pack mask off and use a deep-pore cleanser lotion, then an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for ten minutes while I check my toenails. Then I use the Probright tooth polisher and next the Interplak tooth polisher (this in addition to the toothbrush) which has a speed of 4200 rpm and reverses direction forty-six times per second; the larger tufts clean between teeth and massage the gums while the short ones scrub the tooth surfaces. I rinse again, with Cepacol. I wash the facial massage off with a spearmint face scrub. The shower has a universal all-directional shower head that adjusts within a thirty-inch vertical range. It’s made from Australian gold-black brass and covered with a white enamel finish. In the shower I use first a water-activated gel cleanser, then a honey-almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Vidal Sassoon shampoo is especially good at getting rid of the coating of dried perspiration, salts, oils, airborne pollutants and dirt that can weigh down hair and flatten it to the scalp which can make you look older. The conditioner is also good—silicone technology permits conditioning benefits without weighing down the hair which can also make you look older. On weekends or before a date I prefer to use the Greune Natural Revitalizing Shampoo, the conditioner and the Nutrient Complex. These are formulas that contain D-panthenol, a vitamin-B-complex factor; polysorbate 80, a cleansing agent for the scalp; and natural herbs. Over the weekend I plan to go to Bloomingdale’s or Bergdorf’s and on Evelyn’s advice pick up a Foltene European Supplement and Shampoo for thinning hair which contains complex carbohydrates that penetrate the hair shafts for improved strength and shine. Also the Vivagen Hair Enrichment Treatment, a new Redken product that prevents mineral deposits and prolongs the life cycle of hair. Luis Carruthers recommended the Aramis Nutriplexx system, a nutrient complex that helps increase circulation. Once out of the shower and toweled dry I put the Ralph Lauren boxers back on and before applying the Mousse A Raiser, a shaving cream by Pour Hommes, I press a hot towel against my face for two minutes to soften abrasive beard hair. Then I always slather on a moisturizer (to my taste, Clinique) and let it soak in for a minute. You can rinse it off or keep it on and apply a shaving cream over it—preferably with a brush, which softens the beard as it lifts the whiskers—which I’ve found makes removing the hair easier. It also helps prevent water from evaporating and reduces friction between your skin and the blade. Always wet the razor with warm water before shaving and shave in the direction the beard grows, pressing gently on the skin. Leave the sideburns and chin for last, since these whiskers are tougher and need more time to soften. Rinse the razor and shake off any excess water before starting. Afterwards splash cool water on the face to remove any trace of lather. You should use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol. Never use cologne on your face, since the high alcohol content dries your face out and makes you look older. One should use an alcohol-free antibacterial toner with a water-moistened cotton ball to normalize the skin. Applying a moisturizer is the final step. Splash on water before applying an emollient lotion to soften the skin and seal in the moisture. Next apply Gel Appaisant, also made by Pour Hommes, which is an excellent, soothing skin lotion. If the face seems dry and flaky—which makes it look dull and older—use a clarifying lotion that removes flakes and uncovers fine skin (it can also make your tan look darker). Then apply an anti-aging eye balm (Baume Des Yeux) followed by a final moisturizing “protective” lotion. A scalp-programming lotion is used after I towel my hair dry. I also lightly blow-dry the hair to give it body and control (but without stickiness) and then add more of the lotion, shaping it with a Kent natural-bristle brush, and finally slick it back with a wide-tooth comb. I pull the Fair Isle sweater back on and reslip my feet into the polka-dot silk slippers, then head into the living room and put the new Talking Heads in the CD player, but it starts to digitally skip so I take it out and put in a CD laser lens cleaner. The laser lens is very sensitive, and subject to interference from dust or dirt or smoke or pollutants or moisture, and a dirty one can inaccurately read CDs, making for false starts, inaudible passages, digital skipping, speed changes and general distortion; the lens cleaner has a cleaning brush that automatically aligns with the lens then the disk spins to remove residue and particles. When I put the Talking Heads CD back in it plays smoothly. I retrieve the copy of USA Today that lies in front of my door in the hallway and bring it with me into the kitchen where I take two Advil, a multivitamin and a potassium tablet, washing them down with a large bottle of Evian water since the maid, an elderly Chinese woman, forgot to turn the dishwasher on when she left yesterday, and then I have to pour the grapefruit-lemon juice into a St. Remy wineglass I got from Baccarat. I check the neon clock that hangs over the refrigerator to make sure I have enough time to eat breakfast unhurriedly. Standing at the island in the kitchen I eat kiwifruit and a sliced Japanese apple-pear (they cost four dollars each at Gristede’s) out of aluminum storage boxes that were designed in West Germany. I take a bran muffin, a decaffeinated herbal tea bag and a box of oat-bran cereal from one of the large glass-front cabinets that make up most of an entire wall in the kitchen; complete with stainless-steel shelves and sandblasted wire glass, it is framed in a metallic dark gray-blue. I eat half of the bran muffin after it’s been microwaved and lightly covered with a small helping of apple butter. A bowl of oat-bran cereal with wheat germ and soy milk follows; another bottle of Evian water and a small cup of decaf tea after that. Next to the Panasonic bread baker and the Salton Pop-Up coffee maker is the Cremina sterling silver espresso maker (which is, oddly, still warm) that I got at Hammacher Schlemmer (the thermal-insulated stainless-steel espresso cup and the saucer and spoon are sitting by the sink, stained) and the Sharp Model R-1810A Carousel II microwave oven with revolving turntable which I use when I heat up the other half of the bran muffin. Next to the Salton Sonata toaster and the Cuisinart Little Pro food processor and the Acme Supreme Juicerator and the Cordially Yours liqueur maker stands the heavy-gauge stainless-steel two-and-one-half-quart teakettle, which whistles “Tea for Two” when the water is boiling, and with it I make another small cup of the decaffeinated apple-cinnamon tea. For what seems like a long time I stare at the Black & Decker Handy Knife that lies on the counter next to the sink, plugged into the wall: it’s a slicer/peeler with several attachments, a serrated blade, a scalloped blade and a rechargeable handle. The suit I wear today is from Alan Flusser. It’s an eighties drape suit, which is an updated version of the thirties style. The favored version has extended natural shoulders, a full chest and a bladed back. The soft-rolled lapels should be about four inches wide with the peak finishing three quarters of the way across the shoulders. Properly used on double-breasted suits, peaked lapels are considered more elegant than notched ones. Low-slung pockets have a flapped double-besom design—above the flap there’s a slit trimmed on either side with a flat narrow strip of cloth. Four buttons form a low-slung square; above it, about where the lapels cross, there are two more buttons. The trousers are deeply pleated and cut full in order to continue the flow of the wide jacket. An extended waist is cut slightly higher in the front. Tabs make the suspenders fit well at the center back. The tie is a dotted silk design by Valentino Couture. The shoes are crocodile loafers by A. Testoni. While I’m dressing the TV is kept on to The Patty Winters Show. Today’s guests are women with multiple personalities. A nondescript overweight older woman is on the screen and Patty’s voice is heard asking, “Well, is it schizophrenia or what’s the deal? Tell us.” “No, oh no. Multiple personalities are not schizophrenics,” the woman says, shaking her head. “We are not dangerous.” “Well,” Patty starts, standing in the middle of the audience, microphone in hand. “Who were you last month?” “Last month it seemed to be mostly Polly,” the woman says. A cut to the audience—a housewife’s worried face; before she notices herself on the monitor, it cuts back to the multiple-personality woman. “Well,” Patty continues, “now who are you?” “Well …,” the woman begins tiredly, as if she was sick of being asked this question, as if she had answered it over and over again and still no one believed it. “Well, this month I’m … Lambchop. Mostly … Lambchop.” A long pause. The camera cuts to a close-up of a stunned housewife shaking her head, another housewife whispering something to her. The shoes I’m wearing are crocodile loafers by A. Testoni. Grabbing my raincoat out of the closet in the entranceway I find a Burberry scarf and matching coat with a whale embroidered on it (something a little kid might wear) and it’s covered with what looks like dried chocolate syrup crisscrossed over the front, darkening the lapels. I take the elevator downstairs to the lobby, rewinding my Rolex by gently shaking my wrist. I say good morning to the doorman, step outside and hail a cab, heading downtown toward Wall Street.

Peek of Perfection: A Look Inside a Chic Ski House Renovation

Photography by Christian Garibaldi

Marisa Lafiosca’s clients were so pleased with the New Jersey home she designed for them that when they purchased a ski condo in Windham, NY, they asked the New Jersey-based interior designer if she would make the trip to transform the dated, four-level ski home into a fun, cozy, modern space for them to enjoy future family ski weekends and vacations in.

The space was dark and drab with wall-to-wall beige carpeting and red-orange flooring, cabinetry, and trim, so Lafiosca of ML Interior Designs, gutted the interior including all of the flooring, the existing kitchen, the master bathroom, and the boot room. With family and friends visiting often, it was also important for the designer to maximize space.

Working with local contractor Hickory Hill Builders and cabinet maker Shawanga Ridge Woodworks, Lafiosca redesigned the kitchen layout by removing all cabinetry, soffits, the peninsula, and outdated appliances. The upper cabinets were replaced with open shelving and shiplap was applied horizontally to work with the existing layout of the windows. An island was added that works perfectly for an open concept and family gatherings, and a large dining table for gatherings sits opposite the new kitchen. Lafiosca chose an antler chandelier painted in a high gloss black and black metal chairs for a rustic modern look.

For optimal seating in the living room off of the kitchen, Lafiosca added a large comfortable sectional with fun pillows and swivel chairs. A game table completes the space for the children’s off-slope puzzle hobby.

Shiplap detail was continued in a new foyer entry with coat hooks, shelves and a bench to keep outerwear organized, and large brick porcelain tiles were installed for low maintenance flooring.

All of the trim and built-ins flanking the stone fireplace were painted a dark gray/black color for warmth, and grass cloths and other wallcoverings added texture.

The wall to wall carpeting and red-stained wood flooring was replaced with warm gray/brown toned wide plank flooring, beautiful area rugs and staircase runners. With open staircases, all four levels of the condo were unified and a big open space concept was created.

The lower level originally housed a built-in entertainment center, a makeshift boot room, and a guest bedroom and bath. By removing the entertainment center Lafiosca was able to create ample space for a comfortable children’s TV room. A sleeper sofa was added to accommodate additional guests. The boot room was updated with lockers for each family member, a built-in bench and shelving for extra storage which created a very convenient ski-in ski-out! Lafiosca smartly chose a fabulous looking indoor/outdoor carpeting for the TV room foreseeing children running in and out with boots on – a guarantee!

The family wished to create additional sleeping accommodations for the children’s cousins and friends and so a queen size bed in the girl’s room was removed and Lafiosca designed wall-to-wall bunk beds – two twins over two fulls. The walls were wrapped with shiplap painted in a light gray high gloss, and reading sconces were added for each space.

A new master bedroom, sitting area, and master bath were created – continuing the same paint colors and design scheme adding warm gray finishes on furniture, and cream and brown fabrics to the mix including beautiful bedding and fur throws. The stunning view of the mountain from the bedroom adds the perfect finishing touch!

The master bath was updated with a soaking tub, steam shower and wall to wall vanity using the porcelain tiles, river stones for shower flooring, and classic white subway tiles.

An empty space on 4th floor landing was transformed into a cozy reading nook under an existing skylight. Lafiosca added wall sconces, a daybed, pillows and a warm throw – a great space to sneak off to for a quiet read!

Beautiful Homes of Instagram: Connecticut Beach House

Hello my wonderful friends! How are you today? It’s great to be back with this new “Beautiful Homes of Instagram” post especially because I am featuring such a talented and kind woman! Marcie, from @designsixtyfive, is a busy mom of two little boys, and, together with her husband, she managed to renovate and decorate this gorgeous Connecticut beach house.

I can’s stress enough for you to follow her on Instagram because she’s one of those rare people you meet and instantly feel connected to. Here, Marcie shares more details about her home:

“When we began planning for our home renovation, Home Bunch was one of my go-to sources for inspiration, so to be sharing our own home on this platform now is such an honor! I first started Design Sixty Five as a way to document our renovation for posterity, not thinking anyone would actually be interested in following along with the progress. A year later, I am truly amazed at how it taken on a life of its own and has become such a fulfilling creative outlet. It brings me so much joy to exchange ideas and inspiration with others and I couldn’t be happier to share our renovation experience here with you!”

Beautiful Homes of Instagram: Connecticut Beach House

“We bought this 1920’s colonial in 2012 (before having children) when it was only 1,300 square feet with 3 small bedrooms and 1 bathroom. After growing our family to include 2 kids and 2 dogs, we felt it was time for us to either expand or move. We fell in love with the location of this home, which is within walking distance of downtown as well as the beach, so we decided to renovate in order to make this home work for our family in the long term.”

Front Door Paint Color: Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray.

Front door knocker is Michael Healy Designs.

Roof: Cedar Shingle & Standing Seam Copper.

Expanding your Dreams

“As part of the renovation, we essentially gutted the existing house, demolished an old detached garage and 3-season sunroom, and added on an attached garage, mudroom, kitchen, master suite and junior suite. While it might have been easier to demolish the entire house and start from scratch, we loved the original house and wanted to stay true to its history, charm and character. We replaced the windows, siding and roof and added architectural details to create interest and dimension while honoring the style of the original house. The newly renovated house is approximately 2,400 square feet and has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.”

New Year, New Beautiful Homes of Instagram

Hello, my wonderful friends! How are you in 2019? Did anything happen? Did a switch turn on, bringing more Light into your heart during this first week of this New Year? It’s been terribly cold, gloomy and dark out there. The weather is miserable and it’s easy to feel the winter blues insistently knocking on my door, but I am not opening it… instead, I decided to take a small break during the Holidays to do what I love the most in life; which is spending time with my family and work whenever I feel inspired. I took a small break and I am finally feeling like myself again… nothing makes you feel more centered than being able to slow down and hear your own thoughts, and that was exactly what I did.

During this New Year, I certainly hope to continue to listen to what’s inside of my heart and that goes to what I want to share with you here on Home Bunch. I have to be completely honest with you guys. I am tired of cold homes, everything looks the same these days. Although I will always bring the latest trends to my readers, one of my main goals this year is to share homes that feel more like real homes, homes that have character and feel loved, and that starts with this year’s first “Beautiful Homes of Instagram”. Please, get to know Erin from The Heart and Haven. She’s someone that will inspire you to transform your current home into your “home-sweet-home”!

Hi, my name is Erin @theheartandhaven and I’m a home renovator, home décor enthusiast and mother. I have always enjoyed staring at all the pretty things, but I never realized how much joy I would find in creating them until my husband and I bought a 1950s fixer upper about five years ago.

My husband and I are high school sweethearts from the Jersey Shore. We dated long-distance throughout college and upon graduation, we decided to move across the country to start our life together in Los Angeles. I worked in television before deciding to become a stay at home mom when I had my first son. I now have two boys, ages 7 and 4.

After getting married, we purchased a newly-built, builder-grade condo in Los Angeles and while the finishes were not exactly my taste, I was excited to just have a place to call our own and honestly never thought about changing anything. Two years after having my son and really craving some private outdoor space to have him run around, we searched our neighborhood to find a house. We found a corner house only a few blocks away on a beautiful, wide tree-lined street. It was custom built in 1950, and nothing had been updated since then. The house was head- to-toe covered in orange wood (floors, ceilings, walls, you name it!). The bathrooms had parquet linoleum, the staircase had scrolling wrought iron and each room had ceiling fixtures hanging so low that it made the 8 ft. ceilings feel much smaller. Having no reno experience under my belt, I still felt that this 2400 sq. ft. house had potential. Thus began our renovation journey, and we lived through all of it! I don’t think I knew what my style was when we started renovating our home and decisions often had to be made quickly. There are some things I would change, but I have learned so much throughout this process. And five years later, I think I have found my casually modern, beachy-boho style through decorating it , and it has truly become a passion of mine.

New Year, New Beautiful Homes of Instagram

Our kitchen was the last major renovation. After living in what felt like a wooden cave, I wanted our new kitchen to be light and bright. We took down the wall that separated the kitchen from our playroom to open it up. I had always wanted an island but, due to building codes, the island would have been very small. So, I adjusted my vision and was able to have the counter space and seating area by making it into a peninsula instead.

Peninsula measures 6 ft x 4.5 ft. and counters are Salt White Marble.

Paint Color: Valspar Mountain Mist.

Kettle: Crate & Barrel.

“Let’s Stay Home” sign: Here.

Runner & Flooring

This pink kitchen runner is one of the cheeriest pieces of home décor I own. I paired it with the wallpaper to make our kitchen more playful.

Runner: Here.

Flooring: Wickham Hardwood, Maple (color Walnut) – similar here, here & here.

Cabinet Paint Color

Kitchen cabinets are Maple, painted Benjamin Moore White.

Canisters: West Elm.

Backsplash is Daltile Subway Tile, 3×6 in Arctic White – similar here.

Appliances: Thermador Range, GE Café Series Refrigerator.

Marble Clock: Sur la Table.

Cabinet Cup Pulls: Hickory Hardware.

Sink & Faucet

While it might not be the most picturesque faucet, I love how we can turn the faucet on and off without dripping on our marble counters. Definitely a functional win!

Kitchen Faucet: Faucet, Moen Motionsense Chrome.

Kitchen Sink: 33” Farmhouse Fireclay Sink.

Kitchen Towel: Kate Spade.

Lighting & Barstools

When choosing the pendants over our peninsula, I didn’t want to compete with the chandelier in the nook. These cone pendants with their antique brass interior echoed the glam of the chandelier without overwhelming the space.

Barstools: Serena & Lily.

Lighting: Visual Comfort – 15 Inch Wide.

Utensil Holder: West Elm.

Breakfast Nook

I loved the idea of a breakfast nook and wanted to make it feel special, so I went with wallpaper and a statement chandelier. I think the wallpaper adds so much personality to this otherwise all white kitchen. I then paired it with a more rustic feeling table and chairs to contrast the crisp, geometric design.

Table is RH – similar here, here, here, here & here.

Chairs are RH – similar here & here.

Pillows: here, here, here, here, here & here.

Chandelier & Wallpaper

Wallpaper is from Serena & Lily in Denim.

Chandelier is Visual Comfort.

Playroom

After taking down the wall between the kitchen and the playroom, this is now our view. Since this is the room my sons hang out in the most, it had to be functional for them but also flow with our kitchen.

Sofa is from HD Buttercup

Window Treatment throughout home are plantation shutters by American Vision Windows

Paint Color

The barstools had to become part of the design for the playroom because of the open concept, so going slightly more coastal in this room with the oversized beach print and using blue accents in the room helped tie things together.

Paint color is Valspar Mountain Mist.

Inspired by this Look:

Sofa

Some might think a white sofa and children do not go together. And they would be right! However, I love the crisp look of a white sofa so I chose a slipcover that can be removed and washed.

Sofa is from HD Buttercup.

Ottomans: Etsy.

Knobs: Restoration Hardware Dillon Knobs.

Both the desk and window-seat are IKEA hacks. I upgraded the desk by swapping out the hardware and I made the IKEA Kallax bookshelf-turned-window seat feel more custom by adding a bench cushion.

Rattan Mirror: Pottery Barn.

Vintage rug found on Etsy – similar here.

Window

Pillows and bench cushion by Tonic Living – Similar Bench: here (on sale!) & here.

Bins found at Target.

Living Room

Our sectional is actually a recliner and the chaise lifts up for hidden storage. I love how functional it is for our family.

While there is still updating to do to this room, we recently removed the metal stair railings and replaced it with a wooden banister. Painting and staining the banister was a beast! But it was well worth it.

Stair posts are Benjamin Moore Super White and stain was a custom mix.

Sofa: West Elm.

Rug is vintage – similar here, here, here, here & here.

Wooden Candle holders are locally sourced.

Planter in corner is from HomeGoods – similar here & here.

Artwork by JaxnBlvd.

Stool: Target.

Dining Room Chairs

The white wishbone chairs help to bring a lightness to this space which doesn’t get a lot of natural light and the chairs’ low profile makes this small dining space feel bigger. Paint Color is Benjamin Moore London Fog.

Chairs are by InMod – similar here, here & here.

Lighting: West Elm – similar here.

Mirror: here.

Having no prior design experience, I went with timeless marble and this little bathroom still makes me happy.

Vanity: Wayfair.

Faucet is Kohler Bancroft.

Bachelor Apartments That Exude Great Taste & Sophistication

http://cdn.home-designing.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/bachelor-apartments-600x401.jpg

Bachelor apartments have a bad rap. When imagining a bachelor pad many people would think of a somewhat unloved, unkempt kinda space, that’s crying out for a feminine touch to kick it back into touch. But hold on. These three apartment tours are here to knock that misconception on the head. Home number one is a dynamic design that challenges the stereotypical interiors ideals. Tour two takes New York loft style to an apartment in Bangkok, Thailand, with a stunning bedroom and home workspace setup. Interior number three is an upscale Russian man cave filled with moody monochrome contrasts. All three exude enviable taste, and brim with polished sophistication.

Architect: Kupinsky & Partners

In this nonconformist abode, the interior design laughs in the face of conventionality by placing a home gym in a prized part of the open living room. The gym area is even lit around its edges to draw extra attention.

A TV lounge neighbours the gym. The screen and some sizable speakers are set against rugged living room wall texture, which builds an imposing black accent. The black media unit, coffee table and black sofa are broken apart by an intense red carpet.

An open staircase design rises through the centre of the lower floor layout. It divides the TV lounge from another cosy sitting area with a roaring fireplace.

The wood burning stove is situated beneath an eye catching chimney design. Two sleek armchairs rest side by side to watch the flames leap.

A polished marble floor reflects the glow of the fireplace.

Above the lounge chairs, a masculine piece of artwork climbs the double story height of the impressive sitting room.

The ceiling height dips over the kitchen…

… A unique kitchen pendant light descends from the slope.

The kitchen island is a split design that features a wooden dining surface at one end. The stylish kitchen bar stool design is the Hee bar stool.

Lowered ceiling height above the home gym accommodates the installation of a large punch bag. A custom cut mirror reflects form during workouts, as well as bouncing more natural light into the room.

A small pouf sits between the home entryway and gym, both for putting on outdoor shoes and workout gear.

Upstairs, the bedroom is set into the eaves.

A low bed and bedside table fit neatly under the roofline.

Black metal railings side the staircase and form the headboard wall.

A glass wall bathroom makes the bedroom seem bigger than its actual floor area.

Black sanitaryware, black fixtures and bathroom vanity lights add to the shadowy drama of the bathroom scheme.

Architect: ONG & ONG Visualizer: Tero Design

This loft style apartment is located on the 49th floor of the Circle Prototype in Central Bangkok, Thailand. The bachelor home is part of an exclusive high-rise condominium, and has been revamped to embody total sophistication. Warm timber backdrops and monolithic minerals come together to build a New York feel. A 270 degree viewing range opens the home up to an exciting city skyline.

Confident blue accents uplift the grey and wood tone interior. A black side table and square coffee table add strength and weight.

Gold accents and a designer table lamp top the black stained coffee table.

The other side of the room is dedicated to a home library. An elegant lounge chair, side table and round footstool furnish an understated reading spot by the window.

Stainless steel wraps the base of the bookcase with a light reflective quality.

All of the wood effect wall panelling, furniture, and even the kitchen are built in the same material to create one cohesive flow.

Monochrome marble clads a showstopper of a kitchen island.

Cylindrical lights protrude out of the ceiling above the kitchen island, cutting boldly through the cityscape behind. Black kitchen bar stools line up to take in the view.

White marble floor tiles form a chevron pattern across the entire living room.

Three bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms and balconies are concealed strategically by ornamentation around the interior. The stunning master bedroom is combined with a spacious home workspace.

The silhouette of the modern home office desk is minimal so as not to obscure the panorama.

A dividing wall is cut through to connect the workspace, bedroom, and the urban horizon.

A small seating area is tucked behind the cream platform bed.

The upholstered bench is accompanied by a unique wooden side table.

A walk in wardrobe completes the master suite.

Designer: Sivak+Partners

This 81 square metre man cave in Omsk, Russia was created for a young bachelor who wanted to upgrade his old house. Simple monochromatic decor builds a strong and settled feel.

The lounge stands open to the kitchen diner. A round dining table echoes the outline of a stylish pendant light. The table’s pale base compliments the colour of the kitchen’s beautiful stone countertop and backsplash.

Light monochromatic decor is swapped out for its darker alternative in the bedroom. A white bedside table lamp pierces a black headboard feature wall.

Industrial style decor envelops a dividing wall that separates the sleep space from a dressing area.

Glass closet doors display the clothing collection. LED light strips softly illuminate garment racks and shelves.

On the opposite side of the industrial styled dividing wall we find another glass closet.

In the monochrome bathroom, bold black marble clads the tub. A wooden ladder shelf brings in a warmer tone.

A subtly textured feature wall ripples behind the shelving unit and a modern pedestal sink.

Floor plan.

Spring Decor: Evergreen Tips, Ideas And Accessories To Welcome The Season

Weather is warming up again at long last, flowers are popping, and the world is looking beautifully colourful once again. It must be Springtime! To celebrate the season, we’re looking at four energetic, character packed home interiors that embody a springtime theme, by embracing cheerful hues and uplifting nature inspired prints. Home number one is an airy space, spiked with zesty orange and green. Tour number two is light and enlivened with bright accents of coral, yellow and green. Darker colours and a deeply floral theme fill our traditionally styled third home tour. Then finally, we finish up in contemporary chic springtime, elevated with luxe elements of gold and copper.

Designer: Aliev Studio Visualizer: Aliev Studio Home tour number one hits us with a juicy orange and green theme, inside an airy open plan apartment.

Springtime flowers sprout from a vase placed right at the centre of the room; A modern chevron print adorns the ceramic. See more modern decorative vases here. A modern fruit bowl placed beside the vase has a cool geometric design too.

The living room dining room combo is melded together by colour, but a thin strip of LED light cuts down the wall to clearly define one area from the other.

A wall of windows lets springtime sunshine flow into the living space. Light taupe curtains gather at one side of the glass.

The orange decor continues seamlessly into the hallway, where a small bench seat has been built into a recess. A row of wall hooks equip an area for coat hanging above it. Bold pattern gives the floor a characterful look.

Orange and pink tropical fronds are the subject of some colourful bedroom art, which fills half an orange accent wall. A delicate bedroom pendant light drops down in the white space next to it, providing calm contrast.

Green and orange throws dress the bed with contrasting stripes.

A white tv wall panel stands proud of another orange accent wall opposite the foot of the bed.

Turquoise and orange hexagonal tiles make a spectacle inside a combined bathroom utility room. The heavily patterned design climbs the wall behind a minimalist floating vanity unit and washing machine. In curvy contrast to the geo cut tiles, a round vanity mirror and decorative wall mirror dot the wash area.

Tiles behind the bathtub have been kept simple and neutral.

To complement the turquoise tiles, a green shelf top has been applied over the cistern, alongside a turquoise heated towel rail.

Designer: Yujian Interior design & Guan Pin Cracking onto the next tour, some colour contrast nesting coffee tables get things off to a bright start.

Busy little accents of coral, yellow and green hum throughout this apartment, positively fizzing with bubbly personality.

A piece of modern art brings the different hues together on a white living room wall, above a neutral shoe bench.

In fact, most of the walls and larger furniture pieces are of a neutral finish inside this home, it is the smaller accessories and accent sections that create the buzz.

This city apartment also benefits from the addition of a green space, which is made visible to all of the living area through an L-shaped window installation.

Yellow dining chairs sit two by two at each side of a wooden table that is held up at one end by a modern shelving unit. A yellow accent wall has been painted in behind the dining area to complete a lemon sorbet ensemble.

Alternatively, the table can be used as a modern home office.

A sky blue reading nook is calm and welcoming, made cosy with plump blue and monochrome print cushions.

A blue accent chair sits at a desk/dressing table, which is built onto the side of an open fronted wardrobe.

From all blue, to all pink. This pink bedroom even has a pink door and a pink ceiling to top it off.

Strong yellow accents break up the pink theme, in the form of a yellow bedroom chair, bed cushion and shelf knick-knacks. A pink floor reading lamp blends with the wall.

A double bed fills the majority of the narrow bedroom floor, so an open fronted closet and storage shelves keep belongings neat and accessible.

Visualizer: Korry Chan Darker colours and deeply floral wall treatments shape our third home tour with a somewhat Victorian vibe.

Modern floor lamps dip over a classic chesterfield sofa. The Gubi Beetle chair has been matched with a heavy marble dining table.

A translucent white chandelier dangles in the dark teal room.

The dining table runs directly into the kitchen peninsula, which has a matching marble top. A floral wall treatment whimsically decorates the kitchen diner.

Yellow ochre and dark teal cabinets provide deep contrast.

A heavy traditional canopy drapes above a matching teal velvet headboard. next to yellow ochre window drapes.

Pink light shades pick out pink detailing in the floral wallpaper.

A nature inspired wall mural climbs the bathroom wall.

Green tile matches the foliage in the wall imagery.

Visualizer: Art Group by Vasilkova Daria Last in our springtime interior collection is a contemporary chic living space, featuring luxe elements in gold and copper.

A cobalt blue pouf cosies up to a ceiling mounted fireplace.

Light gold upholstery wraps the modern sofa, which stands in front of a delicious copper kitchen.

Beside the copper kitchen, dining pendant lights bring a cluster of metallic shades together.

Brilliant blue tiles floor the kitchen.

Russet toned kitchen stools complement the copper cabinets.

The cobalt blue floor tiles continue up a hallway of blue doors, with gold tassels hanging from gold door knobs.

Decorative vases bring the colours of the room together.

Mandi’s Fireplace and Media Center Makeover

Last June, I moved into a basic suburban home straight out of your favorite ’80s teen movie in every way. Okay, so someone did us the favor of removing tired wallpaper and painting everything tan and brown. But we loved how much the peculiar floor plan exactly fit our particular needs, and I was really taken with this grand living room. It didn’t exactly look like a grand space when we moved in, but I saw its potential for the fireplace of my dreams, and was enamored with the tall ceilings complete with skylights and weird sofit-clad nooks on the walls. (You can see the plan of our first floor in this blog post.)

The living room has finally undergone its transformation, and I’m so excited to share the process with you! We now have a bright space with a beautiful stone fireplace that accentuates the high ceilings. Below the fireplace is a long hearth, worthy of any mid-century masterpiece, but still fitting in with our ’80s home. We aren’t shy about the fact that we watch TV, and I decided to show it in all its glory, since this is the family room in our home and hey, our family likes movie nights, and sometimes movie days!

When I first drew out the plans for the fireplace wall makeover, I had planned to build shelves above the TV, as well as the shelf you can see below it. I wanted to wait until our TV was installed to see how the space would feel, and was surprised that I felt it was perfect without shelves above the TV. Maybe that will change someday, but we are building a shelving wall in our study, so I can’t imagine that we would need any more book storage. I do like how minimal it feels, allowing other areas of the room to shine, like the gorgeous stone fireplace!

From the moment I first saw this space, I knew it needed a stone fireplace that went all the way up to the ceiling. Since there was already brick in place, we opted to use a stone veneer, rather than demo the brick or waste square footage by using large stones. In fact, after doing quite a bit of research, I settled on using manufactured stone, called Cultured Stone by Boral. It looks like real stone, but it is 1/4 of the weight of full-thickness stone, and since it is a veneer, it is not as thick either. You can purchase corner pieces to achieve the look of a thick fireplace, but since our plan was to do some drywall work next to the stone, we didn’t end up using corner pieces. I selected the Old Country Fieldstone in the Summit Peak colorway, and used a sanded grout with a wide mortar set. I was thinking I’d like to use an overgrout style, but my husband vetoed me and we met halfway. Check out the dramatic before and after below!

Above is a cellphone picture of me in my excitement after the first day of Boral stone installation. I had considered doing this project myself, and know that I could’ve (hear me roar). But since we were taking on so much work elsewhere in our home, I decided to hire someone to do the work, and I’m so glad we did! My friend Jeremy Miller did a great job. He added a moisture barrier and metal lathe to the drywall section of the wall above the old brick fireplace, and then covered everything with a coat of mortar. It took him two days to place the stone and fill it in with sanded grout. We chose a white grout, which when mixed with the sand makes an off-white color. I liked the contrast and also wanted it to tie in with the hearth and walls around it.

But let’s take a step back to when we first got the keys to our house! I had made all of the plans for the space while waiting for our mortgage to close, so I confidently began demo in the living room on the very first day of homeownership! Out came the carpet and baseboards, down came the mantle, and out came the old cabinets. I had originally planned to remove the platform inside of this media center nook, but when I pulled up the carpet, I saw that the platform beneath was actually the subfloor that went under the walls, not a platform that was built onto the subfloor. Then I pulled up the subfloor to discover plumbing pipes, electrical conduits, and vacuflo tubes going through the space. My plan was foiled! The platform had to stay.After an afternoon of frustration with The Platform That Came To Stay, I came up with a plan B I liked even better than plan A! I decided to embrace the platform and build it out on the front to meet the depth of the hearth. I decided to create a mid-century style hearth that extended all the way from one wall to the other, to be covered in concrete for a sleek, minimal look that would tie in with the floors and walls, allowing the Boral stone fireplace to take center stage. (More like stage left, but you get the idea …)

After we built out the platform, we covered it with sheets of Wonderboard that we screwed into place with Rock-On screws, and then I prepped the area for a couple of coats of Ardex Feather Finish in white. Prepping simply involved putting fiberglass joint tape between boards and where the Wonderboard met the brick of the fireplace. This step prevents the concrete feather finish from cracking as the structure shifts with house settling and temperature/humidity changes that affect the wood structure below it.

Ardex feather finish is a material typically used as a floor leveler or to repair subfloors before laying the finished flooring material. But it’s become a trendy finish for countertop refinishing and other home DIY projects with a modern flair. The technique I used on the hearth is actually the same process that was used in the old ABM studio house countertops to cover the formica countertops. On the left side of the fireplace, I was smoothing the Ardex over Wonderboard. On the right side, I was smooshing it into the spaces of the brick.

Ardex is a lot of trial and error, but I learned to only work with small batches at a time, because it sets up quickly and becomes very difficult to smooth out. After about 30 minutes, I went back and scraped off any majorly uneven areas, such as the globbyness around the front ledge of the hearth. I absolutely couldn’t get photos of this because I was working along and also working against the clock with the Ardex.

White Ardex is very difficult to find in my experience, but you can order it some places online. I would try calling around in your area to see if you can buy it locally to save on shipping costs. I didn’t have any luck here in Canton, Ohio.

Now for the nook where this very ’80s midwestern media cabinet used to reside. Of course, some of us older folks remember when TVs used to be monstrosities. In fact, until I graduated high school, my family had one of those huge cabinet televisions that was an actual piece of furniture with a dial on the front. A DIAL. When I designed the new space for our flat-screen TV, I knew I wouldn’t need the depth required for an older television, but ironically, I wanted enough room for my turntable and receiver. So my dad (who has done all of my drywall work for me—thanks, Dad!) moved forward the back wall so I had just enough space to build a shelf for my vintage record equipment and a shelf for my speakers and albums.

After the drywalling was complete, I built supports for the chunky nook-style shelving using 2x3s, as shown below. I attached the supports to the rear wall and side walls after making sure there was enough room to comfortably fit my records, and of course making sure the shelf support was level.After the supports were anchored into the wall, I attached the front 2×3 and covered the supports with 1/4″ plywood. I planned out the support size so that the 1/4″ plywood would make the front of the shelves flush with the drywall around it. After nailing on the plywood, I did a lot of sanding to compensate for any unevenness in the plywood, then I primed, wet sanded, and painted the shelves to match the walls.

I had planned to take more process photos of the shelf-building when I built the upper shelves, but since I decided not to do upper shelves, I don’t have as many photos as I would’ve like to have shared. Feel free to ask me any questions about this process in the comments at the end of this post!

Because we will be using a 2″ sound bar mounted to our TV (situated at the bottom of the TV) and a wireless subwoofer, I decided to keep my record player on its own speaker system. I actually bought “new” vintage speakers that perfectly fit in with my record shelf, and have drilled holes in my shelf to connect all of the wires out of site. Also, since we built the wall that the TV and shelves are on, I added electrical outlets behind my turntable and receiver, as well as behind the television. And when I said I added, I mean Dad added. (Thanks again, Dad!)

So there she is! I finished up the hearth just in time to decorate for Christmas. I’ll be sharing more of the before and after of this space very soon! Check out the list below to find out where everything is from, and stay tuned for the full reveal! – Mandi

Two Contemporary Renovations

One comment I get over and over again is:

Why don’t you show more reasonably priced houses?

And, I understand that comment.

Interior Design to me is: Dreaming. Wishing. Inspiration.

When I show an interior that is over-the-top or has an out-of-this world budget, it’s not that I mean to imply this is what I can afford (it’s not!) or what I think your house should look like. It’s just that people with big budgets can afford to hire talented interior designers and the effect is (sometimes) visually stunning. And often, it’s those big budget houses that allow us to dream, wish, and get inspiration from.

Still – I personally appreciate a great design with a smaller budget. I also love smaller homes. I love to see a tract home turned into something unique which is probably why I faithfully watch Fixer-Upper each season and why Lauren Liess’ new HGTV show will be so popular!

And…that’s why when I found these two houses shown here today, I thought you would enjoy seeing them too.

Unique? Yes.

Good design? Yes.

Affordable? Well, kind of. Location adds to the cost and has nothing to do with quality.

What also caught my attention is that both houses are contemporary.

The tide has turned (unfortunately!) and contemporary is back in fashion – big time. Driving this trend are the younger Millenniums and Generation Xers. These younger sets don’t want French design or English Country Manor (also unfortunately.) Instead, they want modern, slick, colorful and and lots of pattern.

And when I saw these two houses, below, they ticked all those boxes.

BEFORE: The first house in Houston that caught my eye was this Mid Century Modern house – which was in dire need of a renovation. What’s really nice about this particular house is it is a single story – and for families with young children, it’s great to have the babies close by. Also, single story houses are especially appealing to empty nesters who no longer want to climb a lot of stairs. This house has a front courtyard with no front windows, which makes it seem rather forbidding and uninviting. And it looks, very tired and worn.

The house was built in 1960 and is 2600+ sq. feet. It recently sold after it was listed for only two months!

And here is the house today! What a nice change!!! Look how much more friendly and inviting the house seems now with the new front window installed in the dining room. And notice how the double front door with glass planes lets even more light into the house. Instead of a solid brick wall – there is now a slatted wooden fence that adds to the openness. A fresh coat of light gray paint, new landscaping, and a cleaned up sidewalk creates a much improved curb appeal.

Impact Design Group.

BEFORE: Another view shows the front wall hidden behind an overgrown accent tree.

I think these were the original owners – it’s hard to maintain a house over such a long time. Notice how the brick needs cleaning, but who does that, especially if you are elderly? Sometimes it just takes a young couple to shake things up – like paint the brick, or have it power washed.

The large ornamental tree in front of the house was removed – letting in more light inside and opening up the house to guests. This closer view shows the slatted fence and the refreshed courtyard with new modern lanterns.

Who wouldn’t want to move into this house now??? I would! It’s so inviting and the Mid Century Modern is a nice change from the Georgian and Colonials which are the most popular architectural style in Houston.

The courtyard shows off the modern fountain. Now (pregnant pause) I think I would not have chosen a modern fountain, myself. I would have picked out a more classic styled fountain. You don’t have to overdo the Mid-Century look, you can mix elements which makes it more interesting. Or, maybe it’s just this particular fountain that I don’t care for?

What I do love is all the new windows that were installed in place of the original ones, which while functional, were undoubtedly, dated. The black trim is a nice accent. The trend today is metal doors and windows, but those are so expensive – no one on a budget can afford them; these, less costly, windows are a nice alternative. And I love the new door with the panes. This is a focal point inside the house - so many rooms look out to the courtyard. Love!

The lot is extra large and a pool would be a great addition later. But for now – notice there is another courtyard which the house wraps around. Inside, the former breakfast room has now become the utility room – and that window in the breakfast room was removed, seen on the left side here.

New doors and new siding, along with gray paint and darker gray paint on the doors – all which update the back yard. There is also a new roof which makes the house look almost newly built. The small accent tree was removed.

Notice the breakfast room window which was removed.

There’s a new terrace or a newly resurfaced terrace and whomever styled this house did a great job! New lanterns were also added here.

Another view shows how large the lot this. The house could easily be added onto at a later date. Inside these doors is the master bedroom.

BEFORE: The front doors lead to a hall that runs left to right. And down this step is the carpeted great room. Paneled and beamed with 60s styled prefab wood, there is a nice brick fireplace. The wall on the left that separates the great room from the kitchen has been removed. The dining room is off to the left of the front door, it faces the street.

Today: The dining room is off to the side of the front door and overlooks the street and the courtyard. The step down has been removed – all rooms are now level. There is new gray hardwood floors throughout the house, which is beautiful. This floor is so trendy, but I absolutely love it.

NOTE: Be careful when buying the new wood floors. Some of the choices have fake wood patterns and it looks awful!!!

From the kitchen – here is view of the great room. The shelves were removed which is a new edit and it opens up the room. The paneling and beams were also removed. All new French doors open the room to the back yard. The fireplace was painted with a smear technique and a new rustic mantel was added. I like that they mixed the elements and not everything is Mid Century Modern.

Myself? I would have installed a large lantern or iron chandelier here instead of a fan. But this is Houston and it gets really hot here. And obviously, the builder is a man.

A close up of the refreshed mantel. I use those kinds of urns a lot in decorating. They are not expensive and they are a nice accessory – plus they are large and give a lot of look for the money.

Before: The kitchen with the dining room to the right. The breakfast room is to the left, but it was turned into a laundry room. The kitchen was opened to the Great Room by removing the wall between the two rooms.

Before: The breakfast room with the large windows that looked over the backyard. These windows were removed when this was turned into the laundry room.

Today: Looking from the Great Room back to the kitchen, now open with the wall removed. The dining room is also now open to the Great Room since its walls were removed. And the opening between the front hall and Great Room was expanded. Today, with no stepdown, the opening is much larger.

The view from the kitchen to the Great Room. Through the door at the right is the laundry room.

I love the subway tile - it is classic and will always look nice. Always. Plus, it won’t date or age as fast as all the trendy tiles people are using today. Those trendy tiles will be so out of style in five years. Be careful!!!! Subway is a safer way to go.

The counters are Quartz and Dolamite – a mixture of two colors. Well, I have to say, I’m still a white marble girl but so many people are using the faux marble and it does look good and is a viable alternative to marble, which needs TLC. Marble has to be resealed every couple of years and the faux marbles don’t.

The layout of the kitchen is very pretty with the stove between the two windows. I would not have put in the upper cabinets at all and I would have run the subway tile to the ceiling which would have been really dramatic and great looking. But this design is still very nice. Certainly not worth changing except, I would change out the pendants, which is a personal choice. Despite my critiques, I do really love this kitchen - well done!

After: The breakfast room is now a large laundry room/mud room.

Before: The dining room. That chair is … 60’s cute! I’ve never seen one like that before. The dining room was very large – and the renovators decided to divide it into two rooms. They removed the side window and added a new window at the front – which opened up the room to more sunlight and created a much more pleasing façade.

AFTER: The newly divided dining room. The front section is now a sitting area which seems like a waste – I do wonder why they didn’t make it a small library, at least? The room can be closed off with barn doors with glass, so no light is blocked out if the doors are closed. I’m really not sure why they chose to divide the room at all. They could have added bookshelves along the back wall and made it all one, nice large dining room/library. I will say this - the barn doors do add a nice architectural element.

A beam was added here where the window was removed. Very nice staging.

The sitting room in the front part of the dining room. This is the newly installed front window – which adds to the curb appeal.

Before: The master bedroom overlooks the back courtyard. Look at that TV cabinet!!! It matches the King Henry XVIII chair. Most interesting.

OK. I ASSUME that is the TV cabinet! Any other ideas?

BEFORE: The master bathroom has yellow foil wallpaper typical of the 60s.

Today: The room was made roomier with the newly raised ceiling. It accounts for an extra foot which adds to the luxe factor. The bathroom door was moved to the center of the wall and a modern barn door was installed.

NOTE: The barn door has taken the place of the old sliding doors. Will this be a trend or is it here to stay? I think it’s here to stay.

Sorry to say – but I really can’t stand that bed – it looks so heavy and SQUARE!!! LOL. But in general, the staging is really nice, and staging is such a necessity.

Looking out towards the back terrace.

One more time. Yes – we’d be proud of that barn door too!

The bathroom was reconfigured and since then, seems much larger. The center vanity was moved to the back wall. The shower stall is classic white tile which won’t age as opposed to the trendy tiles of today, which to me – are so unattractive.

Before: The front bedroom that overlooks the courtyard.

Today – with the new windows, this room is now the study. It’s carpeted, probably to save a little money. But – how much do you really save? Instead of the beautiful wood floors found all over the rest of the house, why have carpet here?

Wall to wall shelving would make this a great library but the new owners could add that later. Boy, I really want them to have a library!!! LOL.

Before: The bath was in the blue and white, which I actually like! The former owners were big Mark Sikes fans.

AFTER: The same layout, but all new cabinetry and notice the concrete tile floors. I do love concrete tile, but in 5 years it will scream 2020!!

Do you think that concrete tile is just another passing trend? Since concrete tile has been used for the past 200 years, I think it’s a safe bet it’s here to stay.

This mid-century modern house was recently sold, but if you want to read more about it – go HERE.

Our second house today is called a tear-down, but the owners chose to renovate it instead. Built in 1940, this house is now a sale pending after being on the market for just a few days. It is located in trendy Garden Oaks – which is one reason why it went to contract so quickly.

The front view of the house – shows that there is a large side yard, which is used instead of a back yard.

The garage is now gone, replaced by the front entry.

The back yard looking towards the street and the side yard.

The house now has 1,540 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.

AFTER: Quite a difference!!!! Now white, with a new driveway for cars, the side yard is open to the street through a modern, very contemporary fence. The garage is gone and that space was used for the entry. Another huge change is the roof was raised and pitched. Love the front lights.

This is the modern Farmhouse look – a combination of contemporary and charming.

The side of the house is used as the back yard.

Before it was staged – this shows the side yard. The floating deck is placed over the gravel. Cute house across the street.

And another view of the floating deck, now styled.

This view shows the doors open to the living room. The bedrooms are at the back. I think the master bedroom/bathroom was added on to during renovation.

Looking into the house.

The back yard. Since the bedrooms are at the back of the house – the side yard is used instead. Although, the new owners could install a French door instead of a window so that the back yard is open to the bedrooms.

Inside. The new roof is raised and has exposed shiplap. Although the ceiling is new, it looks old and it initially fooled me! It’s just hard to believe this is not original. A loft was added – reached by an iron ladder. The French doors open to the side yard on of both sides of the living room. The kitchen looks out at the front street. The front door is to the left of the ladder.

The view towards the other side – open to the side yard. Notice the exposed duct work which adds to an industrial feel to the house.

The loft. This area is small, but would make a good study or - with shelves along the sides – a library. Hmmm. I want them to have a library too!

Can you tell that I have books all over my house and I’m constantly looking for a solution to that problem????

I love the styling. Great job!!! I do think I would have added two French doors here on this side, not just one.

The view from the kitchen, over the marble counter. Love those glass pendants!

I found this one below that might be the same pendant. Be sure to check dimensions, always.

To see – go HERE

This view shows the French doors out to the side yard.

The kitchen counter has the same shiplap as on the ceiling – which adds a warm texture.

I believe this is Quartzite on the counters. Love the stove – another industrial touch. Wood shelving instead of cabinets. White subway tiles – flanked by two front windows.

The farm sink and contemporary faucet are nice touches – luxe.

Against this wall is the pantry and refrigerator which looks built in because the cabinetry surrounds it. Why everybody doesn’t treat refrigerators this way just astounds me! It looks so much better than….this:

In another house – the cabinetry was built around the refrigerator – BUT it wasn’t built out enough so that the appliance looks huge and out of place!! If done correctly, this wouldn’t be an issue but for some reason, carpenters don’t do this enough, although it is becoming more common. This is something to watch for when renovating your kitchen!!

AND, here is the house without the staging that shows how VITAL staging is when selling or renting a property. Without the staging, I wouldn’t have looked twice at this house. It looks so plain and so uninviting without the staging. But, by spending the money, which is recouped by a quick sale – the house is so much more appealing with the staging!!!

Such a difference!!!

I love this table. They used a console to save space, but I found one that was very similar, and on sale!!

I love this French table HERE. Notice how pretty it looks when you mix antique-look furniture in with contemporary styling? Love the mix.

And here is the view from the outside, the side yard.

The master bedroom. I believe this was added onto the house during the renovation – creating an extra bedroom and bathroom.

The master bath has a shower with two sinks and a window! Love the light.

The second bedroom is in the house’s original footprint. Very cute styling.

And the original bathroom – renovated with subway tiles – shelves were created out of the extra space.

The vanity sink. Cute mosaic tiled floor.

The third bedroom, also in the original footprint. Again, very cute styling!

Both these renovated houses appeal to me and I could see downsizing (although the first house wouldn’t be a downsize!) and moving here. Living in a single story house appeals to me so much at this stage of life. And I like the contemporary styling as done here – very light contemporary!!!

BUT……

I can’t help it, I’m still a Francophile for life.

Now, why can’t I find THIS house for $350,000 somewhere in Houston? I’m not asking for much! Those floors!!! Those chairs!!! Sigh.

Those floors alone probably cost $350,000!!!!!

5 Great Ideas for an Outdoor Man Cave

Since the idea first hit pop culture, most guys dream of having a man cave, the perfect place where they can get away from work and life to just kick back, relax, and enjoy your guy things. Whether it’s watching sports, building models, playing games or working with your hands, it’s always great to have a space of your own, removed from everyone else.

For many people, there’s not enough space in the home to have such an area, so they turn to the back yard. Having your man cave outdoors can present even more advantages. After all, it’s separated from the rest of the house, giving you the space you need. Check out some great ideas for outdoor man caves, and think about how steel storage buildings can be ideal for your backyard getaway needs.

The Rustic Escape

No matter what the outside of your man cave looks like, inside should be your fantasy space. Try putting up wood paneling, hanging a few hunting trophies and installing an electric fireplace. Throw down a bearskin rug and some rustic, antique furniture, and you’ve got the perfect country hunter’s lodge escape!

Ultramodern Luxury

For something more ultramodern, try putting up some drywall, a tiled floor, and modern amenities like a dorm fridge, a few leather recliners, and a minibar. Don’t forget a big-screen TV and surround sound for the best in an ultramodern luxury lounge, so you can enjoy a brandy or bourbon while watching the game or the latest action flick.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

How about a more traditional bar look for your cave? Put up a nice oak bar with all the trimmings and amenities, a full stock of top-shelf liquors and the best in craft beers, ice maker and mini-fridge. Don’t forget a few neon signs while you’re at it, and look for indoor paneling or facades that resemble natural brick! Add some bar stools and a jukebox and you’ve got an old-fashioned bar.

A Game for All Seasons

How about a super gaming den? Whether your thing is board games, role playing games, video games or poker, deck out your man cave to suit. A MAME (multi-arcade machine emulator) cabinet or console can give you hundreds of classic video games with an authentic experience. A multipurpose gaming table can be great for board gaming, poker or Friday night D&D. Don’t forget the LCD monitors and an outstanding surround sound system for tunes, the must-have mini-fridge and cabinets for snacks!

The Ultimate Library and Writers Den

If you’re a bibliophile or writer, why not set up your man cave as the ultimate library? Be sure to include climate controls and the right kinds of shelves, with plenty of extra space to grow your collection. You’ll also want comfortable chairs to kick back with your favorite novel, and a computer terminal and desk for research and writing.

Steel Storage Buildings for Every Man Cave

Of course, you’ll want the best possible structure for your man cave, and that should start with a steel storage shed. Steel storage buildings can be built to your specifications, offer 100 percent usable space, and can stand up to the harshest elements. For more information, check out what Metal Pro Buildings has to offer, and give us a call today!

Bachelor Apartments That Exude Great Taste & Sophistication

Architect: Kupinsky & Partners In this nonconformist abode, the interior design laughs in the face of conventionality by placing a home gym in a prized part of the open living room. The gym area is even lit around its edges to draw extra attention.

An open staircase design rises through the centre of the lower floor layout. It divides the TV lounge from another cosy sitting area with a roaring fireplace.

The wood burning stove is situated beneath an eye catching chimney design. Two sleek armchairs rest side by side to watch the flames leap.

A polished marble floor reflects the glow of the fireplace.

Above the lounge chairs, a masculine piece of artwork climbs the double story height of the impressive sitting room.

The ceiling height dips over the kitchen…

… A unique kitchen pendant light descends from the slope.

The kitchen island is a split design that features a wooden dining surface at one end. The stylish kitchen bar stool design is the Hee bar stool.

Lowered ceiling height above the home gym accommodates the installation of a large punch bag. A custom cut mirror reflects form during workouts, as well as bouncing more natural light into the room.

A small pouf sits between the home entryway and gym, both for putting on outdoor shoes and workout gear.

Upstairs, the bedroom is set into the eaves.

A low bed and bedside table fit neatly under the roofline.

Black metal railings side the staircase and form the headboard wall.

A glass wall bathroom makes the bedroom seem bigger than its actual floor area.

Black sanitaryware, black fixtures and bathroom vanity lights add to the shadowy drama of the bathroom scheme.

Architect: ONG & ONG Visualizer: Tero Design This loft style apartment is located on the 49th floor of the Circle Prototype in Central Bangkok, Thailand. The bachelor home is part of an exclusive high-rise condominium, and has been revamped to embody total sophistication. Warm timber backdrops and monolithic minerals come together to build a New York feel. A 270 degree viewing range opens the home up to an exciting city skyline.

Confident blue accents uplift the grey and wood tone interior. A black side table and square coffee table add strength and weight.

Gold accents and a designer table lamp top the black stained coffee table.

The other side of the room is dedicated to a home library. An elegant lounge chair, side table and round footstool furnish an understated reading spot by the window.

Stainless steel wraps the base of the bookcase with a light reflective quality.

All of the wood effect wall panelling, furniture, and even the kitchen are built in the same material to create one cohesive flow.

Monochrome marble clads a showstopper of a kitchen island.

Cylindrical lights protrude out of the ceiling above the kitchen island, cutting boldly through the cityscape behind. Black kitchen bar stools line up to take in the view.

White marble floor tiles form a chevron pattern across the entire living room.

Three bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms and balconies are concealed strategically by ornamentation around the interior. The stunning master bedroom is combined with a spacious home workspace.

The silhouette of the modern home office desk is minimal so as not to obscure the panorama.

A dividing wall is cut through to connect the workspace, bedroom, and the urban horizon.

A small seating area is tucked behind the cream platform bed.

The upholstered bench is accompanied by a unique wooden side table.

A walk in wardrobe completes the master suite.

Designer: Sivak+Partners This 81 square metre man cave in Omsk, Russia was created for a young bachelor who wanted to upgrade his old house. Simple monochromatic decor builds a strong and settled feel.

Light monochromatic decor is swapped out for its darker alternative in the bedroom. A white bedside table lamp pierces a black headboard feature wall.

Industrial style decor envelops a dividing wall that separates the sleep space from a dressing area.

Glass closet doors display the clothing collection. LED light strips softly illuminate garment racks and shelves.

On the opposite side of the industrial styled dividing wall we find another glass closet.

In the monochrome bathroom, bold black marble clads the tub. A wooden ladder shelf brings in a warmer tone.

A subtly textured feature wall ripples behind the shelving unit and a modern pedestal sink.
