Modern holiday family cottage converted from existing barracks

Wonder how to best convert your old barrack into a living cozy cottage? This is how, a perfect example to follow. Soft whites on the inside to create a bit of Scandinavian modern taste, in contrast with vintage dark rough wood and waste materials.

Notice the Ikea kitchen, and I have to tell that I was shocked to discover the good quality and fast service for such a low price when I first designed and installed one for a client in Manhattan on 68th Street East side.  Yes, they make such an affordable solution and easy to install.

Graphic designer Charlotte’s townhouse Svoldergata in Oslo

This apartment in Oslo is a very nice styled mix of old and new. A great decoration job by owner and graphic designer Charlotte. An abundance of whites and off whites on walls and floors creates the perfect landscape for the old collection furniture pieces and the modern or contemporary elements like the Ball clock of George Nelson, also his bubble lamp, Missoni puff and rug, ikea shelves.

This old 1913 Swiss house was transformed by industrial designers Anette and Frederick Tonsberg into a modern living place.

Slow Chair from Vitra, designed by brothers Boroullec. The light bulb in the ceiling with colored wire is from NUD. I like the gray floors too.

In the laminate kitchen work lamp is Tolomeo and ceiling lamps from Light Years.  How lovely is also the simple white wall shelving system in the children’s room.

Arco from Flos

ContactSheet-001ContactSheet-002

I am delighted with this floor lamp. Arco from Flos was designed in 1962 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni.  The foot is made in marble, which makes the lamp steady, and the arm – in stainless steel. I really like the use of solid and heavy combined with thin and light, stem like elements – very architectural!
