DECOR: Penthouse at St. Pancras Chambers

So glad it's Friday! Time to get off the computer for a few hours & enjoy some time outside. It seems we forget to do that and our world becomes everthing online. Not good. Well, I'll leave you with this beauty - I think you'll enjoy this!

Banker Arran Patel decided to take on a pretty cool challenge and transform a historic London landmark into a modern 3 story home.  With the help of TG Studio,  this triplex was completely transformed,  from the bathrooms to the kitchen, they managed update it all into a modern space.  It's located on the top 3 floors of this famous London landmark called, St. Pancras Chambers.  I'm sure you Londoners are familiar with right?  Throughout the transformation, they decided it was best to keep the personality & character of the space while adding the modern elements.  It has a slight gothic-church look to it don't you think?? 

Funny, I've always wondered what it was like to live with glass stair-case/railing, it immediately converts any space into a crisp & modern space and allows for more light to flow. Love this!

 What do you think? Could you see yourself living in a space like this?

Nina's Scandinavian Home...

I've always dreamt of living abroad. Maybe Paris, London or Switzerland. Doesn't matter - just a place where the architecture is beautiful & there are coffee shops to boot! With lots of interesting museums to view artwork & much more. One thing I know is that the architecture overseas is such eye candy, or at least what they let us see in magazines right?!? One home in particular is that of Nina Bergsten.

It's  incredible - with super tall cathedral like windows to ornate Parisian-style ceilings.  Her home in Sweden was actually featured in Residence Magazine.

Take a look...beautiful isn't it? Doesn't it make you want to work really hard, make lots of money & move overseas?? That's a YES for me.
