Apartment in Soho, N.Y. part III - bathroom

Take a black and white checkered tile floor, a shower corner built with old factory windows and a sink bench with an open shelf (the most reasonably priced bathroom item, btw). Combine this with a round mirror from Bruka (yes, they have it in their collection still, these are HARD to find at least in Scandinavia) decorated with a silk garland, some bamboo textiles by Chakra and a vintage zinc pitcher from www.rubylane.com, for example.

Add a lilac orchid.

Apartment in Soho, N.Y. part II - bedroom

This post is part II to my previous post! The above bedroom was introduced in Design Shimmer blog, and I would for sure try to introduce something similar to my SOHO loft. Only - if my bedroom was like this, I don't know if I would ever be able to get out of bed!

My love for linen won't be fading anytime soon, so I would use linen voile or similar for the bed.

Some Iznik ceramic tiles for the wall, Himla linen and Himla cushion covers to build the bed. A vintage foot stool together with Harri Koskinen's block lamps, vintage wrought iron chairs for bed side tables, and a small color splash with Svensktten wall paper. Perhaps add a room divider for dressing up?

Apartment in Soho, N.Y.

I've become majorly hooked with Pinterest, I love the tool! There it is possible to build anything with pictures on a board! One of my boards is called 'dream home in N.Y.' (You find all the images on this post from there!)- if I was given the task to decorate a home in N.Y., specifically in SOHO, what would it look like?

Let's start in the living room:

We would have the must-have old brick wall, of course, to start with:

We would dig out the old wooden floor:

A bookshelf

And some other items!

You think it would work with a vintage leather chair (I think I would NEVER get out of it), IKEA Ektorp 3-seater (it is perfect for a 'background' furniture), some canvas prints, Balmuir lanterns, Himla silk cushions, Harri Koskinen's block lamps and a Louis Vuitton vintage trunk (DREAMING, remember :))?

We add a cozy work space:

With the Louis Ghost, of course..

A kitchen with a SMEG fridge, and some vintage Tolix chairs

The crate spool table I would change to some upcycled table made of vintage doors from Ruby Rhino to fit as many dinner guests as possible.

I would smoothen the style with a hand-made linen rug, photo frames made of recycled wood, and some Festivo vintage candle sticks by Timo Sarpaneva. Kitchen linen made of 100% linen, and this kitchen would be everything I dream of.

You like? I will be continuing with the bathroom and bedroom sections - - -

she's telling you what she's doing

MISS DESIGN

My last blog post was a color splash - what is she doing? This isn't her style!  Well, like said, I LIKE mixing styles :) - you can call it rustic loft style, or whatever. As long as it is balanced, and looks good to your eye.

Here is some wonderful pictures of a rustic loft in Bagnolet, France, at www.miss-design.com. You see their babushkas? They've chosen to add them white (anyone know, where to get these, I want some!!), as their loft has other splashes of color in the Electric Romance style. I LOVE this interior! It has so much air, they are not afraid to mix and not match - and the end result is fantastic, and matches perfectly. The owners are both visualists, clearly.

MISS DESIGN

See how it balances? They have clearly a shabby chic floor, and a cupboard. They've mixed those with industry style lightning and chairs in the kitchen, a designer lamp on top of the wooden dining table, modern shelves on the wall and a pop-art style TABAC multi-color floor light. Talk about vision - it is not very likely some interior designer would've come up with this selection if she/he was given the task to decorate this space...

...and the colors. AH. Yes, I know, I'm still going through my pink season, but isn't pink just DELICIOUS mixed with yellow? I think so.

Going through my favorite blogs I ended up again in Loftenberg - ah, the beautiful lofts! Look at this one - all the elements are just right!

Do I need to say more? It is just GEORGEOUS! So many interesting details - just absolutely LOVE it!
