2014 Brian Gluckstein Princess Margaret Lotto Showhome | PART THREE

So without further ado, let me share my favourite space in the Princess Margaret Lotto Showhome. It is – in one sense – the simplest space in the house.

A desk.

Two chairs.

A tree.

That’s it.

Well, unless you count the endless windows and decadent abundance of natural light. At the end of the day, that’s all I really need. NATURAL LIGHT. In fact, it’s my favourite Designer luxury.

Turns out, the chairs were scooped up at a thrift store and reupholstered. My kind of find!

And have I mentioned those windows?! 16 feet high and capped off with a skylight above to basically make this as outdoors as you can possibly get while still being inside the house. The third wall is mirrored so that it feels like a glass box and just reflects the light even further into the space, and the fourth wall is just open to the house. THIS is the sightline at the end of the hallway from the entrance you would use daily as a family. Can you say inspired? Talk about a welcome home for the senses.

L  O  V  E.

I don’t know about you, but I think a lot of dreaming and planning and world dominating {in the most feminine, kick-ass way possible, of course} could happen in this space. Sign. Me. Up.

What do you think? What’s your favourite space in this house?

Loft Perfection via Italian Elle Decor

Every once in awhile I stumble upon something so perfectly “itself” that it defies description. That is the case with today’s inspiration: A spectacular 1600 sq ft loft designed by the trailblazing feminine Italian Designer Paola Navone. Organic, modern and entirely unfraught, this space speaks volumes in details to be seen from floor to ceiling.

Some of my favourite details? The bones of the space itself are tear-worthy, from the rustic, wide-plank floors to the soaring ceilings to the exposed brick and endless bath of natural light. The oversized Carrara Marble honeycomb stone floor inset in the dining room made me gasp a little. And I simply adore the lamps shown above, reminiscent of some school friends casually leaning against the wall while having a chat at recess.

What do you love about it?

I hope at least one detail, image or idea has captured your imagination and left you dreaming just a little.
