An 18th Century Copenhagen apartment full of historical charm

I love older homes and buildings not only for their historical charm, but because each one is a little different. This is sometimes by design, and sometimes from the relationship the house has had with previous occupants.








Love this room- great for napping or reading



I really like that this home is obviously lived in - not just staged for the photographer

Modern day French interiors that still have that effortless glamour

Posted by Mr Wong at 7:46 AM 0

It never fails that French interiors, through the ages, have always had a certain...je ne sais quoi. Their beauty and glamor seems so effortless and natural! Therefore, French interiors make for excellent eye candy - enjoy!



This bedroom has a palette I would never come up with on my own, but I think the effect is really nice and great for a bedroom.

A contemporary twist on that never fail crisp white and blue.


The above two images are actually from a home in Tuscany, but it was renovated and restored by a French architect. I think it's a nice blend, and I love the soft, earthy palette.

I really like the look of stacks and stack of books.

What a perfect place for an afternoon nap

Interior photographer portfolio - a light and airy treat

This is the portfolio of Maree Homer. I love the blend of country, modern, down-to-earth lived-inness (prob. not a real word) that these homes capture. One day when I finally stop moving once a year I hope to achieve such a comforting home.

Beautiful built-ins

Posted by Mr Wong at 11:29 AM 0

I've lived in quite a few old houses and one thing I love about them are the built-in features. Bookcases, desks, window seats - they add so much charm and personality. How about you? What's your feeling on built-ins?

A dreamy day bed/window seat - oh the hours I could spend there

serene office - my desk is never that clean though - as I use it to work on... :)

I love this room. The curtains hung lower ads a lot of dimension to the room I think...
