this is one very beautiful collaboration between some very talented designers. featured recently on sight unseen this project from hovey design — two sisters Hollister and Porter Hovey, who specialize in interior styling, as well as staging homes for sale is almost gallery-like in its minimalist look, and just as inspiring as you might expect a visit to view art might be. this particular project is a 19th Century brooklyn townhouse with sky-high ceilings renovated by hatchet design build, and styled by one of our favorites, cold picnic’s phoebe sung and John Sorensen-Jolink of Coil + Drift. the results are one part whimsical, but also restrained sophistication. for more projects from these talented folks, visit their respective links!

this is such a lovely little kitchen nook featured on a recent apartment therapy home tour belonging to Mery Garriga, a Barcelona-based interior designer. small, compact and utilitarian and oh-so achievable because it’s all furnished from IKEA — those are the very adorable FROSTA stools. it’s all so charming — i think it has to do with the pretty color palette and the charming details like that built-in shelf with a swipe of pink paint. i love that idea for accenting collections and adding a sense of dimension to the room. for the full tour visit apartment therapy and follow Mery Garriga for more inspiration.
