Sophisticate…

Monday 28 May 2012

When it comes to interiors, I favour character and charm over sophistication and class, but every now and then, I find a home that has me rethinking these principles. I start visualising my simple Ikea furniture, replaced by expensive tailored pieces, lush carpets and valuable art. I recently came across Suzanne Kasler’s home on Architectural Digest and started visualising myself sauntering around this space. The exterior view is my favourite – I can practically hear the trumpets just looking at it!

Is it your cup of tea?

  1. Wow, it's super sophisticated and stylish. There's just a tiny part of me that wants to mess it up, just a bit ;D xxx

  2. Like you I favour character and charm - but this could turn anyone! Lovely photos.

  3. It is a very pretty, grown-up house, isn't it? Yup, can't quite imagine Billy bookcases in that home. I don't think I have it in me to sit so properly in a home like that ; )

  4. It's a gorgeous home but a little too grown up and sophisticated for me personally. But I could definitely see myself in the beautiful garden. Would love to hang out by the outdoor fireplace on a chilly night...

  5. Oh my goodness ..... these are breathtaking!! I will have to pinterest these as there is awesome architect detail. I want that bathroom tub and that pool will do nicely too.

  6. I struggle with this same issue, but only occassionally...like now, with this house. Mostly, as I've matured, I realize what I truly enjoy is casual comfort. The cozier the better. But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a beautifully designed home when I see one. :-)
