Weird and wonderful...

A gathering of some of the more fun furnishings around, with a heavily 1980s slant. Because who doesn't want a Nintento-esque fire screens!

Hotel envy...

New trend...

Parquet. No longer just for floors:

Fire hazard...

I know these beautiful Russian churches have done the blog rounds, but I thought I'd put together a more thorough photo deluge. It would be fascinating to renovate one into a home, as they have such grand proportions and quirky angles. Always a shame to see such elegant architecture going derelict, we've got a renovation project coming up, and my mother speaks Russian, so I think a salvage trip might be in the works!

Flat envy...

This Berlin pied-à-terre was rescued from ruin by  landscape architect Guido Hager, who uses it as an art store/holiday home. I think it displays the perfect balance of period features and clean modern spaces, as neither is dominant or overwhelming and the result feels fresh and exciting, whilst being elegant and stately.
