While I’m feeling quite chipper as usual, these are some spaces that could hold a different tune. I love the dark rooms – there is something moody, dignified and mysterious about them.

I never thought much of macrame until I fell upon these pictures – this knotting style has been popping up right and left. I love the headboard! It gives a sort of bohemian/vintage look that’s so sweet. The plant hangers and lighting are also lovely. Is this trending? Because I’d be ok with that!
Today’s covet are these large tilting bowls designed by Staffan Holm, a Swedish multi-faceted designer. These will be featured at the Furniture Fair in Stockholm in February.

London designer Paul Cocksedge, one of my favourite lighting designers might I add, has created this beautiful 25 meter sculpture titled “Bourrasque” in Lyon, France, for the recent Fête des Lumières.
I have always been a fan of his work, and this one is nothing short of magical. the 200 suspended sheets are set to mimic papers scatteringin a gust of wind – a beautiful bright image against a backdrop of the 17th century architecture of l’Hotel de Ville. Simply beautiful.
My gosh is it ever getting cold outside. I don’t do well in these condition, friends. I’d rather stay bundled up inside and have some poor soul go fetch my things from the outside world. Unfortunately this utterly unrealistic. Next option is to have quick heating methods. Such as a fireplace. Where you’ll find me sitting about 1 foot away until my skin starts to burn. Will you join me? I also have hot chocolate with mini marshmallows. Yum!

I love this tiny little cabin designed by Olson Kundig Architects on San Juan Island in Washington State.
Only 500 sf, it is surrounded by wildlife and a great view, and when needed, it can be closed up tightly by the surrounding decks. A kitchenette, bathroom, a beautiful seating area, and a rotating fireplace is really all you need to get the creative juices flowing.
The cabin is five hundred square feet and is a private writers retreat and guest cottage. Located on San Juan Island, Washington, the owners wanted the cabin to feel contacted to its setting, the climate, the wildlife and views. They also needed a structure that could be easily secured when not in use. Perfect!
This home featured in Inside Out is so nice, not to mention the backyard, the dark grey hues with touches of green, wood and cozy fabrics. I’d move in in a second!
I am absolutely crazy over the look of these two images, combining a modern look with total luxury. The first is a shower at Hotel du Marc in Reims, France, and the second is Smeg‘s new Newson cooktop. Finally, a lovely penny-tile bathroom with more gold fixtures and a beautiful pendant. Drool.
