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.
