I always love to see the way creative people live, how they choose to decorate their spaces, and how these in turn seem to reflect a little bit of who they are as people, and as artists and artisans.
I've admired Emma Cassi's sense of style for a while now, and so it is no surprise that I love her London apartment. It's stylish and classic, and it has an almost ethereal quality, much like her jewelry. Yet it also seems very livable, with hints of her work and of her family life, Antonin (her son) being very present in almost every nook. Take a look and see for yourselves; it's really a warm and lovely place...

What a beautiful home! I love the combination of textures and subtle details. Interesting furniture, especially the little wood and metal chair in the living room, it is a nice contrast to the big leather chairs.
ReplyDeleteIt is perfect. Each picture gave my inspiration for what I would love to do with our house :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a home with soul :) I just came over from another blog showcasing a home filled to the brim with **valuable** antiques. Lovely. I have to say, though, that I would choose Cassi's home over it in a heartbeat! The character, the heart, the personality - more priceless than any antique.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the gorgeous inspiration photos, Maria. I'm really having fun following your blog!
XO,

I'm so glad you featured her home Maria, I'm a big fan as well. Surprise! ;0) I've seen her son's room and actually fell in love with it at first sight, but have not seen the other spaces. Beautiful, just as expected.

ReplyDeleteAfter seeing Emma's comment, I looked online and was able to read a bit about Home Is Where the Heart Is by Ilse Crawford. It truly looks like a fabulous book. I'm interested in all that it explores and have just requested it from my local library.

ReplyDeletelove + luck + bliss,

I love that home....all the photos on that wall surrounding the mirror....LOVE THAT....
ReplyDeleteI wonder how she attaches them to the wall ?
SO incredibly beautiful....it makes me happy to think that you and I were somehow on the same wavelength :) Emma's home is as lovely as her beautiful work. *sigh* Gorgeous....

I love how real and comfortable her home is. I wish I could pull that off in my home but it never turns out as pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all who stopped by - including, of course, wonderful Emma. I think Denise is on the right track and the book by Ilse Crawford is one we should all take a look at... And Beth - perhaps double-sided tape..?
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
-maria
I have fallen in love now....with every single picture! Wish you a lovely day today!!!!
ReplyDeleteoh my....how I love every detail of this space......
ReplyDelete.....it is so warm and inviting......and full of welcoming design sense....
happy day friend....xo
What a gorgeous space. I especially love the kid's room. Although I have to say...I never get tired at looking that he sidebar pics of your beautiful home!
ReplyDeletethat's almost exactly what I want our home to look like. It's so beautiful and proof that white rooms are not all boring!
ReplyDeletefor sticking things to walls, there's a great blue adhesive putty product that I've used before. It's reusable and usually available at Staple's or Office Depot (or teacher supply stores).
ReplyDeleteI love that playroom!
ReplyDeletewow it's all so beautiful! very jealous. i love white..just been trying to build up the courage recently to paint my wooden furniture white and i think this post has given me the courage!
