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?

Molton Brown...

I never tried Molton Brown until recently....& now I'm wanting everything in their shop! I'm now keeping my eye out for their scented candles - so next time I'm shopping, I'll try & pick one up! 


They seem to have a wide variety of products on their site, like soaps, shampoos, men's fragrances, lotions & lots more. I thought the women's travel size toiletry kit was perfect for you women who are always on the go!

Have you tried their products? If so, what?

Here's my set below. I got the NEW Rok Mint soothing hand lotion & the Rok Mint liquid hand wash. They both smell really great! You can get Molton Brown here or any high end shop for that matter.   


They're a little pricey, but definitely good quality + you can impress your guests by having these in your guest bedroom! That's what I'd do if I had a guest room here in the city...


However, for me, this luxurious lotion & wash will be kept in our kitchen!

Chick Shack

I ran across this site and I enjoyed it so much I had to post it here. The furniure and room set up in their pictures are soooo PRETTY! The Pink and Blue was in abundance throughout this site, so if you like those colors you're in luck! Chick Shack is based out of London and they offer quite a collection of painted furniture and accessories for the home inspired by French and Swedish 18th century designs. Enjoy!

Wallpaper, now cups?

Sure, why not. From a site called Charmed in Cornwall and out of London, these cute cups are like wallpaper. What is it about this, people like so much? I can't explain it, but I'm totally drawn to them. Weird, its like fast food for some people....not me, no fast food here! Anyway, back on track. They're so cool and the site has a few more. Enjoy.
