at home in Edinburgh.
i was checking out inspace locations for some inspiration for around my house — that darn living room of mine is still a work in progress otherwise i’d share — but i came upon this wonderful apartment in endinburgh, scotland and fell in love.
i like the eclectic mix of natural woods and woven rugs and a quilted collage of pattern and textiles, along with loads of fresh white. the modern furnishings and quirky pieces, like antlers and unexpected chinese lanterns, co-existing with older antiques looks quite smashing, too! and that view of Edinburgh is awfully charming, as well. love it all!
Edinburgh is my favourite UK city…always try to squeese in at least one visit per year! This home tour is fab…love that view.
That exact house has been mega-inspirational for me for a long time, but I’d never seen these (newish) photos of it! Thank you!! <3
love the flat but its Edinburgh not Endinburgh! hehehehe
Beautiful home filled with lots of personal character!
good gosh – mortified – and thanks kelly-ann. i kept looking at it thinking it was spelled wrong, and then thought, no, that’s right. tired girl excuse. thanks for the heads up!!
it’s a good one, anna. i love it too!
glad you guys like it!
I’m going to Edinburgh for the first time in 2! weeks! and you just made me even more excited – I didn’t think that was possible – merci! xo
Wow…so much sunshine in that house! When I was in Edinburgh it was dark and rainy the entire time (but still beautiful!). A good fireplace is a must! I’m loving this home though…very pretty and I love the pairing of the old and new.
This flat belongs to the stylist Rosie Brown, who runs the online boutique Papa Stour… it was in the papers a few years ago here.
Really gorgeous – I agree!!
oh wow – thanks abigail. i love her. in fact i was going to write about her, when i realized i already had featured her place a while back, and then i saw this flat! funny!
Her new home in Pittenweem is pretty nice too!

Love all the antlers scattered throughout…
Oh my goodness, I love absolutely everything about this house, especially how it manages to be elegant, unique and cosy all at the same time! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the Inspace Locations… a really nice site!
Excellent natural light makes all the difference in a home. Every room has such a beautiful glow. Thanks for sharing!
