Home Tour via Allt i Hemmet...(Via Made By Girl)

I couldn't tell you much about this article I found via Allt I Hemmet Magazine except that I needed a TRANSLATOR to tell me who lives there!

It's MORE than likely occupied by a man - judging by the decor style. (perhaps a musician or a successful artist) I may be wrong, but WOW.  The kitchen is what really caught my eye....I mean look at those walls above the cabinets, all black!  It's like the SILKIEST black paint I've EVER seen & it's got me thinking about my own all white kitchen now. Hmmmm


Anyhow, I love the BLACK walls along with the splashes of color throughout his place! The unique pieces of furniture & accessories really give this place a personal touch don't you think? 

I also noticed that instead of UPPER CABINETS he decided to place large scale accessories on the tops of the cabinets to give the kitchen a more grander feel!  And how about the idea idea of placing a super old family photo in an ornate frame & mixing it into a super modern kitchen? 












.....this place is just gorgeous.

  4. His living room totally wowed me. Anyone who can pull off a dark, black wall with panache and confidence deserves my ultimate respect! I just adore his chandelier in the living room.

    The person who decorates this space sure have great taste. Thanks for sharing and leaving a comment on my blog!

    Have a wonderful day!

  9. Definitely a cool space. It's actually the apartment of a photographer and designer who live in London, and was featured recently on Design*Sponge's blog (http://www.designspongeonline.com/2011/04/sneak-peek-jimmie-martin-rick-schultz.html). Only recognized it because of the awesome yellow and black "question-mark" cabinet in the kitchen. Mystery solved! :)

  16. Seems like they are both furniture designers, and their clients include Kylie Minogue, Kelly Osbourne and others. Obviously Jimmie used to be a model and the apartment is in London.

    The cabinet in the kitchen with the question mark is actually a IKEA cabinet that they have painted and the picture on top of the kitchen cabinets are of Jimmie and his mum.

  19. I clicked on the link to see the magazine. I've seen it in person because my aunt brings them to my mom when she visits from Sweden. Anyways, with Google Translator I got this infomation:

    Dramatic atmosphere, unexpected details and an explosion of colors. Get inspired by Jimmie and Rick's home in London.

    I was going to get my mom to translate but google did the job.

    Now you know (if you didn't now before). :)
