This apartment in Lyon is so gorgeous and subtly elegant. nails Parisian chic each and every time. Neutral palette, luxurious linens, modern classic French furnishings…everything comes together so perfectly. (Previous features here, here and here).

Photographer continues to amaze me with his photographs that are so lively and bright (we also featured his work here and here). They remind me of summer – which at this rate us Ottawans are never going to see this year. (Does anyone else wish they had a bright yellow front door?)
P.S. Sorry folks looking for Monday’s pets on furniture – there we not enough entries this week for a post. Hopefully it will be back next week.

The soaring ceiling in this two bedroom duplex in a converted 19th century schoolhouse in Cobble Hill, New York lifts this otherwise small space to another level. has exploited the height during their renovation of the space with clever built ins to maximise storage and provide architectural detail. Splashes of blue and pink play against white walls while a gallery hang of small art pieces accentuates the height. The original kitchen has a low ceiling height but by removing upper cabinets and replacing them with open shelves the space appears more open. An awkward apartment soars to new heights
