Rope Bannister

I just love this idea for a bannister :)

I imagine it in a beautiful sea side cottage!

Glass Balustrade

My parents are about to replace the old (rather daggy) timber balustrade in their new townhouse with a glass one - heres hoping it comes out looking even slighly as good as this one!

Neutrals

I am usually known as a person who loves a bit of colour, but recently ive really been getting into my neutrals at home. One thing i love is that they all work together so you can constantly add pieces without wondering if they'll clash!

House in Rio de Janeiro

I stumbled across this home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by Progetto Arquitetura & Interiores on Design Milk

 ...wow wow & more wow!

The goal was to create a union between the indoor and outdoor areas using a contemporary language. That language — being awesome — allowed them to create an expanded area for leisure activities that feels very much a part of the entire residence. There are three main levels: the social areas (kitchen, living, dining) on the bottom floor and then the bedrooms and private areas on the top two. There are two sets of stairs (one for service) and an elevator. Using high ceilings to create large yet integated spaces

Love the great spacious and airy feel and the use minimal natuaral matrerials like stone & timber, the landscaping & palms also really set off the neutral colour pallete. My two favourite features are the huge shutters opening to the pool (and how fantastic that palm looks infront of them!) & the vision through the huge pivot front door to the stairs and how they've used the timber here. Something as simple as the slat work & cladding the stairs to create a really 'architectural' look.

This image gives me the fuzzies!!

Happy Friday ;)

Dont need to say much here other than how gorgeous are these painted staircases!

Particulary the top image - pale blue & white so serene!
