bathroom remodeling

2012-01-26T23:42:00.000-08:00

Bathroom makeover.

Renovation of the bathroom is not always just an aesthetic change. Often change is needed from the functional side. I had a project to change it to become more convenient for person with mobility problems.

I moved old small shower and replace it with big one.

Bath also needed a changes. The previous was too large and the was a hard to go out of it.
I made it small enough to seat comfortable and go out easterly.

Here is the result.

AS A SCULPTURE

2011-05-21T11:05:00.000-07:00

A single spectacular piece of furniture can lift a whole room. The chair became a star as a beautiful sculpture and would naturally be the center of an interior.

IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT COFFEE TABLE

2011-05-19T04:39:00.000-07:00

Believe or not, but I'm still looking an coffee table to this apartment.

The problem is color, size, material and the fact that there is a dining table next to it.

What should I do?

I like one from ILVA

Living Island from Smarin/CPH

or two smaller, that will be better solution?

ENGLISH COUNTRY STYLE KITCHEN

2011-05-18T12:02:00.000-07:00

I would like to show you my last kitchen in English Country Style.
After all the modern kitchen I design lately, all white and high gloss, I really enjoyed this one.
Investors decided to change only kitchen in the house.
Whole house is build on the open plan, that's why changing the walls color is not so easy.
If I would decide to change it I should paint whole house. And that wasn't possible.
So ... what was for sure, that was a wall color.

Olive green.

Old kitchen was dark and "crowded", just look:

And that's how it's looks now:

LIVINGROOM

2011-05-18T08:14:00.000-07:00

I was asked to finish a house in Szczecin.
Investors live there almost 3 years now, but whole the time house needed finial touch.
In this project I found already started style, that was secession (Jugendsti).
House is from 1936 and in fact where are two terraced houses connected.
Some furniture where there, some I needed to design, make or buy.
I almost finished it.

As soon I will come back to Szczecin, I add more pictures.

Stay tuned!

WINE BREATHER CARAFE

2011-05-15T11:48:00.000-07:00

Yesterday in ILLUMS BOLIGHUS in Copenhagen I found Wine Breather Carafe. Until Saturday I even did know that wine needs to breath, anyway... This is it!
Let me introduce you to this elegantly designed Menu Wine Breather Carafe,

which aerates your wine in one easy step.
Simply press the Menu Wine Breather Carafe onto the top of an opened bottle of wine and flip it over so that the wine pours into the decanter.
You can serve the wine from the Menu Wine Breather Carafe, or flip it back over once it's done and pour the aerated wine back into the bottle and serve from the original bottle.
Menu shortens wine aeration time down to 2 minutes with their new Wine Breather Carafe that you simply pop onto your favorite red, flip it upside down, and you've got a properly aerated bottle of vino that can be served in the decanter or in the original bottle.

WITT SVERIGE AB

2011-03-22T11:59:00.000-07:00

Today I discover fantastic appliances. That's 3 in 1.

elektric ceramic cooker
+
oven
+
dishwasher
!

Just perfect for young people and small kitchens.
Love it.
Still don't know how much does it cost. I can imagine that is not the cheapest in the word.
In my opinion this kind of compact oven is really enough.
Although I like this kind of dishwasher, I think that's is to small for a couple.
Maybe it's enough for one person.

Still I can't stop to look at it, really like it.
As I wrote, I don't have a clue how much does it cost, and now I'm really courius to know, but somehow I'm afraid to even start to search ;-)
I don't what to discover that's extreme expensive.

new poster

2010-11-02T04:55:00.000-07:00

I just found great poster in antique market in Copenhagen. It fit perfect on the wall in the kitchen. Look at the details in the background. Whole poster is amazing, colors, female character, details. I love it!

Appartment in S.city in Scandinavian spirit.

2010-10-11T11:55:00.000-07:00

I almost finished decorating one of the appartments in S.City, of course is whole white!!!! This appartment is one of my favorites, and it's not because is all white :-) but also because of the owners. It is this type of investor to whom it is hard to say goodbye. They moved to this appartemnt already, but I still drop by. Sometimes I visit them, making a small improvements or to set the final decorations or just to gossip over coffee :-)

new apartment in Kbh

2010-09-22T03:35:00.000-07:00

Because I'm in Copenhagen right now, I had a chance to take some pictures of an apartment I designed.

There are a few things which are still missing, like a coffee table, but could I say... it's Denmark ;-) For a coffee table we have to wait until week 45! Unbelievable! Anyone who has lived in kbh for a while knows what I am talking about ;-) Everything takes ages.

Anyway, I would like to share with you my work. For those who know me and my style in interior design, what won't be any surprise is that everything is white. Have a look.

Mixing the earth tones and the global tones will actually be quite complimentary to one another. Earth tones are often more neutral in color and global tones tend to be vibrant and bold. For example, expect to see browns, greens and other neutrals in combination with pinks, blues and yellows or purples.

Urban Nature by VILLEROY & BOCH

2010-02-09T12:45:00.000-08:00

"Urban Nature" – innovative tableware reflecting the nature trend

"Urban Nature" is based on the characteristic design theme "inspired by nature". Following on from "HotWave", "Dune" and "Flow", "Urban Nature" is, so to speak, the highlight of this new trend. Its sensuous use of forms is derived from Nature and country utensils, for example wooden water troughs, yet at the same time, the series is both practical and multifunctional.

The great potential of "Urban Nature" is opened up by combining its various items. This new tableware series offers every design alternative – from simple, basic elements, through to ambitious, dramatic multi-level table creations.
