Timeless Living

Timeless Living is another favorite inspirational book.  They have compiled pictures of some of the most inspirational homes in the past ten years.  
These rooms are soft, simple and timeless.

Here is a design created by one of my favorite designers/antique-dealers Axel Vervoordt. 
The room was painted with lime paints in order to achieve the perfect aged effect.

I love the furniture in this room, it's perfect next to the more heavy drapery.

Once again the walls were painted with lime, applied with a brush to give is some texture.  The floor is sandstone from France which goes perfect with the soft colour palette.  The light fixtures are perfection, they add the perfect touch of detail to this room.

The combination of the old reclaimed wood floor and the contemporary elements create so much interest... one of my favorites!

Antique-dealers Michel and Christine Ceuterick restored this entrance hall which was once an old brewery.

This kitchen carries the feel of the Flemish design, minimalist style and authentic materials.

I love the warm minimalist atmosphere of these kitchens.  The gorgeous Aga and La Cornue range stand out as the main focal points in both rooms... they're the perfect furniture pieces in a kitchen!

Have a wonderful week!!

  2. Gorgeous checkerboard floors! It's such a wonderful way to add graphic punch but still be classic and elegant. And I love that bathroom with the sandstone floor and lime walls...you can really see the great texture that room has. I just finished painting a great curvy french style coffee table with milk paint and it has that wonderful chalky finish...it really gives any piece a sense of history and age.
