Hello Everyone

This home dedicated to retired residents in Taiwan, created by Wei Yin International Design Associates has been a recent favourite of mine during this past fortnight. 

Despite an incredibly simple layout and design Wei Yin International Design Associates, have mastered the art of using different materials with different finishes and properties to create a beautiful relaxing and calm environment, whilst taking advantage of the view outwards.

Using a mixture of terrazzo, recycled woods, concrete, and simplistic lighting, this gorgeous space is home to an incredibly minimal, yet tranquil atmosphere.

Hello Everyone

Today I bring to you this minimal retreat for Jim Jennings, by Jim Jennings. This white canvas of a weekend retreat, based in San Francisco's, Palm Springs, features nothing but minimalistic beauty and an endless outward view of the close by mountains and surrounding desert. 

Having everything designed perfectly down to the last measurement, Jennings took advantage of being his own client and made sure that everything that was completed, was completed to both his and his wife's liking. This retreat, similar to my previous interior featured on the blog (read it here) features tall walls that from the outside seem pretty cold and uninviting, but internally seem quite cosy and reassuring. Which all seems to work with the blank white wall aspect, and rather than giving off a medicinal or clinical feel, works in perfect harmony with the forever blue skies and distant mountain ranges.

One weekend here, and I'd be set for life. What do you think?

Hello Everyone

The best things are made when you're either pushed to your limits, or someone tells you that you cannot do something. This was the case for this home in Mexico. Design for a retired couple, Architects Pérez Palacious had the challenge of working with high restricting walls from the surrounding houses, and a lack of external views. However, they handled it well and created this cream, minimal, relaxing style. 

The house features 3 mini courtyards that all have their own separate functions, but the house harmonises internally with the open floor plan, linking all the family areas together. To say I like it would be an understatement. Even with the lack of natural landscape to look at, this home is such a natural beauty.

Hello Everyone

On my second day in Paris, I took a train ride to the area called Asnières-sur-Seine, and it was gorgeous! There were trees everywhere and the side streets all had a mini story to tell. The area was slightly cheaper as it wasn't central Paris, but that didn't stop it from being beautiful! I wore my favourite blazer again on the second day and paired it with these adorable shorts from Uniqlo. I was going for the relaxed but still chic city look. I teamed the whole look with these gorgeous earrings from ASOS and my mini suede bag from &OtherStories (similar here).
I found that in order to keep costs down while visiting Paris, it was best to shop like the locals and take a visit to the supermarket called Monoprix, but shorted down to Monop'. Needless to say, this little wonder became my favourite shop while I was out in France. The prices were cheap, and the food quality was incredible! Each one that I visited, had an in-house bakery! Can I say that I was in heaven? Haha

Hello Everyone

Bonjour!  With this amazing weather that we've been having recently, and my sister's birthday being in one of the warmest seasons, my family and I recently went to Paris, France. I had an amazing time and was able to see many of the usual tourist things, as well as the often overlooked parts of the city.

I hope you all enjoy my video that shows my experience in the city of love. Salut!

Hello Everyone

This week I bring to you this gorgeous home based in Sweden. The blue and white definitely add some colder tones to this apartment, but I believe its also what helps it to come alive. The dark accents and the daylight go hand in hand and make this apartment a beauty and a place that I definitely would not mind living in!
