Some Fabulous Lofts & Apartments !



I picked up a Fantastic special edition magazine by
Canadian House & Home that I must share with you all.
If you have a chance to pick it up, it's a great great issue!


It starts right off with a before and after photo
of an entry way in a condo. Before, it was quite
plain with no color or furnishings.



The "after" is quite astounding with brilliant
color, gorgeous furnishings with a lot of "wow"
factor. I don't consider myself a person who
likes yellow and I Love this entry way!

My favourite is how they framed the wallpaper
for some pizzaz and the bright rug! It's so easy to
change out the rug for a different look and color too.


The special issue also had quotes and photos from
condo and apartment owners who really spiced up
their small spaces.

I really loved this bedroom for it's deep rich colors
and eclectic mix.


I also really fell in love with this very chic
white living room! Very elegant and soothing.


This designer from Toronto found out she quite liked
a more masculine style when she designed an apartment
for a bachelor client. I must say that although, masculine -
it's very cool and clean. I really lilke it!

This room reminded me of a post that Franki from Life
in a Venti Cup recently wrote about. Franki had taken a
design quiz which you can do as well at MyDeco.com.
Imagine Franki's (who is a very stylish woman I might add
with great taste) surprise when she found her result to the
quiz as having a masculine style. Here's to you Franki that
having an eclectic style that includes masculinity in it is
certainly not a bad thing as you can see from the gorgeous
but "masculine" room above.



I love how the mirrors really open up the space
in this dining room. Love the eclectic mix of
furninshings as well.



A very polished living room
with a sophisticated mix.



And something more modern with low furniture.



I simply liked the colors that were used for this spread.


Loved the robin's blue/turquoise color in this set up!

Hope you've been able to glean some
inspiration from these examples on how
you can spruce up your living space.
