Thom Filicia does know how to make a house feel like home. This country home in Connecticut can convert any city lover into a country aficionado. If you don’t believe me take a look for yourself at this cozy and elegant abode he designed for a young family. Besides the typical warm feeling of the country side it’s almost hard to tell that all these level of sophisticated American style is in the countryside. Enjoy!
Don’t you like it when you go into a place and for some reason you
can’t immediately explain everything feels just right! Besides making
you feel comfortable and at ease, that interior also keeps you wanting
to see more and stay longer. The unexpected
touches throughout makes the whole experience more engaging. I love a
bold elaborate mirror on a white wall, an unusual and uncommon chair or
even simply a particular choice of wall color. Enjoy!

Technically a kitchenette is a very small kitchen running along a wall where strictly only the necessary equipment, cook top, microwave and a small fridge, are displayed. They are usually found in small studios and New York City apartments. However small, people with style don’t let the limited amount of space scare them off. They know that style and good living has nothing to do with space as much as with choices they pick to make their small kitchen look stylish and equally functional. Here are a few ideas to get you all fired up to make over that kitchenette. Enjoy!
I’ve said before how much I love black in interiors. It literally goes with everything and it can transform any dull-looking room into a more dramatic and glamorous space. It brings dimension to a room. As simple as a black chair or a black sideboard can add drama and elegance to a white or neutral room. Many people believe that by painting walls in black would make the room smaller when actually the opposite can happen when black walls appear to pull back as it shows in the top image. Have a good weekend!

Some people are fortunate and others are even hiper-fortunate. No, I’m
not referring to Oprah and by no means I’m implying that fortune comes as
a celestial gift, rather that it is a result of continuous hard work. I’m
referring to the owners of this gorgeous townhouse in London, designed by Francis Sultana.
Featured in the latest edition of AD, this townhouse’s mayor challenge is its
big size. The owners who are avid art collectors wanted to create a home
for their family rather than a museum. And boy, did they accomplished
it! Enjoy!
