Concrete & Large Windows…

Rule!

What’s grand with this room is simple, and whats simple with this room  is made grand. Before I start sounding like The Sphinx in “Mystery Men'” may I say though that this place featured, does not have much ado with ornate furniture or accents because the enormity of this structure is all it needs.

This kitchen is really enviable!

Tranquility

Just some tranquility today, please…

Beads

The earthiness of this simple design is made memorable with the accent of beads by the window. I have an idea where I can find these sort of beads and the photo of this place – just got my creative juices flowing. Viva la beads!

House on the Hill

“Day after day,
Alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.”

                                  – P. McCartney

Though one would argue if the man inside the house on that hill is a fool. I mean, just look at that beauty!

Best Place To Look

 

If I lived in this apartment, would it even matter if I had the money or the desire to go out? maybe not! I will have the view and the interior made of my dreams here. The picture is of a place in Sweden, plucked out from the blogsite Nordic Design and I have fallen in love again; to an inanimate object albeit.

What is in here that swept me away? Serenity, spaciousness, wood, white, killer design, utilitarianism and like… a piece of heaven here on earth.

White Overkill?

White Overkill? oh please blame me not for it; I just cannot figure our why I can’t get through white in terms of color (or lack thereof) in this stage I have for interior design. Of course it did not help that I just discovered Emma’s Design; a Scandinavian design blog which makes use of white like cake does with flour. 

Yes, this picture might as well be some sort of an art piece for white, modern interior design but what fun it would be just putting it all together, be it functional or not.

The Bok Tower

This was taken by a friend of mine named Robert Capuras; he is a well traveled bloke and he shared this photograph with me. I believe gardens are attached to this tower and as well as an aviary. The point of view and the capture both speak to me and I am happy to feature this here in Ce Lieu. 🙂

A Cavernous Retreat

If the house I will live in for the longest time in my life were to be built with my specifications; a unique feature such as this is the bonus I want. This will be my siesta cave and I imagine the insulation brought about by this concrete boudoir will allow me a satisfying afternoon retreat for sure.

On a rainy day, I see myself just hanging out here with a book, or music, enjoying the nature’s sounds, peace and bliss – God would afford me on those special days.  

The Minimalist’s Boudior

Take a reverie with me if you will, to an idyllic afternoon with nothing in your mind. But just before you hit this boudoir, imagine a Saturday afternoon just right after having your perfect weekend lunch and your most preferred dessert. Then you are invited to help yourself with a nap in this vision of linen and lull; you are to relax and for a few hours – drift away to dreamland where there are no chores, no obligations and no worries. Stripped off of life’s complications and into this cool and comfortable minimalist’s boudoir. 

A Very Smart Use of Iron

Saw this one in DTI and I thought : what a wonderful end product for ferrous metal. This bed is made beautiful because of the wrought iron headboard. Very vintage, classy, feminine, romantic too and it makes for a timeless decor. *Adding to the wish list!
