Hello dears! I'd like to introduce you to Susan Marinello's work. She used to be a fashion model (isn't she gorgeous?) but now she's an award-winning interior designer in her hometown near Seattle. This is her 1940s house on Mercer Island. So elegant, bright and neat. A cool gray-and-white color scheme soothes, while warm gold, chocolate brown, and mossy green accents add warmth. Come and take the tour!





The wood-burning fireplace was updated with a new surround made from concrete finished to resemble stone.




Open plan for the kitchen, dining room and seating area.








A large vintage photo of New York City printed on linen hangs in a hall just outside the dining room. French doors on the opposite wall open to a terrace.

Hello readers, hope you are enjoying your weekend. This 1930s country style cottage is in Australia, in New South Wales Northern Tablelands.






Old cane chairs and lounges fill the wide verandahs. The meat safe is filled with tea lights and citronella candles.


Elegant fretwork divides the kitchen from the living room.

To celebrate my post number 300 I'm going to indulge in white. This Edwardian house in Streatham combines antique and modern furniture. It really makes me happy as I hop from picture to picture.
White haters... run away as fast as a frightened rabbit.
White lovers... rejoice!

Good morning dear readers. How was your weekend? Mine was splendid, thank you. Let's have a look at another spacious apartment from real estate site Alvehm. Located in the middle of Linnaeus it preserves period features such as stucco, oak parquet flooring in the bedroom and living room, and high ceilings. Like it?

Such a beautiful Friday morning deserves a beautiful home. So I'm taking you to Annabel's house to see these gorgeous white rooms. London based 1st-option firm has prepared it for location shooting for films or TV. Every detail is taken care of and I'm sure you can find lots of ideas to inspire you. A beautiful way to start your Friday. Have fun!
