Modern Loft in Venice, California


I have had this Venice loft hovering around on my computer's desktop since I spotted it on Remodelista a couple of weeks ago. I like to save inspirational interiors on my desk top when I know there is something that I like about the spaces or I am working on a job and the visuals serve as a starting point - so every morning the images are sitting there waiting for me to keep liking them or to remove them. This one has stayed and I know why.
While the overall interiors of this loft is fresh and modern, which I like, it's the consistent use of the same style joinery that has been used throughout - the wall hung cabinet under the TV, the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedside tables, the low level bedroom storage and the wardrobes. This is very effective in small spaces, especially when the joinery is in the same colour as the walls. It also lets the other elements in the spaces, like the furniture, lighting, art and objects, to be the focal points. Nice.

Carl Larsson at Home

Cosy Corner c.1895
 I was browsing in my client's store recently (yes, I was there on a site visit but hey...) and I saw a boxed set of cards of Swedish artist, Carl Larsson (1853-1919), which I snapped up. I have always liked these charming, light-infused watercolours by Larsson and this card set were based on his home, a cottage named Little Hyttnas in the rural village of Sundborn, Sweden. Larsson lived here with his wife and eight children, and as shown in these watercolours, it was a charming setting of domestic bliss and idyllic country life. There's just something lovely about that blue and white stripe covered sofa and chair in the 'Cosy Corner'...

The lastest issue of HOME magazine is out today and it is the annual Art issue. The adventurous home of New Zealand artist John Reynolds is featured on the cover and Reynolds himself is a guest on the HOME team, adding his artistic touches throughout the issue.
The Reynolds' Auckland villa was renovated with architect Malcolm Walker and I can't stop looking at that intricate kitchen splash back that Reynolds designed! Read more about it here.
