It’s been a while since I’ve featured an all-out glam space around here, and it’s high time, don’t you think? What I didn’t expect is for the ‘space’ to be a hallway… Or maybe I should say, stairwell and landing. That makes it sound better, doesn’t it? Not that it needs any help, because this [...]
While I’m usually an all-white kinda girl, if I’m going to do color on the walls, it’s nice to have it feel as serene and enveloping as this… This dining nook feels so peaceful, with natural light streaming in from the window, and the green extending from indoors to out. The simple color scheme is incredibly calming, [...]
Regine It is calming!
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures That’s the color of my kitchen, love it!
Jessica I’m looking to paint my kitchen this color. Would you mind sharing the paint colors name that you used?
Franki Perfection! franki
Amy Peltier I am participating in a showhouse this fall. My room inspiration is Audrey Hepburn. These shades of green and turquoise are such a modern take on the traditional, expected ‘Tiffany’s Blue” you often associate with Audrey Hepburn. Love it and thanks for sparking the idea!
Room of the Week 4.11. In which I fall of my chair and die over this mint green lattice work. I know, I know. But seriously, you guys. This room could be real good. And mint is so hot right now. How can you say no? I might even keep the sofa. Then I’d toss out [...]
Miss Pete Puts me in mind of the Golden Girls
Naomi A I would take it as it is! It doesn’t hurt it’s in Barbados~
Julie I adore this space…it’s gorgeous!
Elisa So quirky-I love it!
Franki Now I may have to paint mine “mint green”…I’ve had lattice panels in our small bathroom for years and years. I’ve always liked it. franki
Meg Love the lanterns and the minty green…
Lindsey Suggs I loooove lattice work on walls. Count me in!
Jane Nope, I totally get it.
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures YES!!!! It’s so Caribbean chic!
Chloe @Ergo-Blog I totally see the potential! Wow! It could be a perfect sun room! =)
najoie love the feeling, the lanterns are awsom. where do I get a seating like that? thanks
I’ve been doing our Room of the Week series since pretty much the beginning of this blog (that’s nearly six years for those of you who are counting) and I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything like today’s room… Because, yeah. There’s a pool in the living room. And while that’s certainly not the only cool [...]
Carol Maryott Pretty Amazing !
Thanks for posting this Cassandra !
Carol 
FripperyVintage That is an amazing space, seems like you would constantly worried about falling in. I could see my 8 yr old son jumping off the back of the couch into the pool!
Yolonda Damn, what a cool space. I would love an interior pool.
Professor V WHOA! I was gonna say what an amazing space before I noticed the pool!! Never seen anything like it! With, or without the living room pool, the space is so gorgeous and open!
Milagros Hi, this house is a recycled warehouse in Palermo Viejo, Buenos Aires!!! ( where im from) – xoxo – mili
Cassandra LaValle Post author so funny – the source i found the photos said it was in palermo italy! do you have any more info on it? i’m so curious about it! xo
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures Gorgeous!
Lexi @ Glitter, Inc. This is so cool! (Though I can’t help but wonder how practical it is.) Still love it, though.
I’ve been in awe of this room for a while now, but only recently did I stumble upon the full portfolio of its designer – Greg Natale – only to realize that he’s been featured in the Room of the Week before! This space just floats in a cloud of white detail, and I love [...]
kristen rivoli What a gorgeous room! In our field we see so many pretty rooms, but I have to say this one is so unique in its use of geometric shapes within the round rug, all white ceiling with the amazing details, fabrics & color palette…it just goes on and on. I’m a new fan too!
SincerelySammie Okay…I need to run out and purchase a sunburst mirror stat! I’m in love with the yellow/green coloring. It’s amazing how interior designers are like artists themselves, only rather than using paint they use furniture and home accessories!
Fiona Wow! This is incredible… I would be terrified to set foot inside there though!
Quinn Cooper The white palette with pops of yellows and grays is really sleek and refined but still a little fun as well. Sometimes a predominantly white room can feel cold, but these one feels inviting and relaxing.
Quinn Cooper Style
sharon|house58blog.com Wow! Spectacular!
Julie I absolutely love the effect that the rug has on the space!
Tiffany @ Triple Crème Decadence Wow, this is amazing! That ceiling is incredible and adds suchgreat detail! I love the eclectic furniture and color palette!
With offices on the brain this week, it’s no wonder that today’s room features a very simple, but statement-making home workspace… Located in the Parisian apartment belonging to Stefano Pilati, The graphic black and white elements – from furniture and rug to paint and trim – provide almost all the decor one would need. That dresser, [...]
maison21 yep- that coral is the only “must go”, and holy cow on that dresser! awesomeness on top of awesomeness!
Molly {Dreams in HD} what a gorgeous space!
Emily | Sparkle Meets Pop The windows! The rug! The crown molding! The only change is that I would like to be in it.
I’m getting ahead of schedule with this post, but as I was perusing through galleries and spotted this space, I knew it had to go up! Every once in a while I like to make the Room of the Week a controversial pick. Usually, that means a few of you think I’ve lost my marbles, and the [...]
Lisa definitely not my thing but i do like the idea of the kitchen floor being raised… kinda like a stage for the cooking.
Katie Isn’t plywood full of poisonous stuff (formaldehyde)? No thank you.
Cassandra LaValle Post author considering that the home owner is an architect, i’m assuming he had knowledge of that (or perhaps in australia, they process this wood differently?) i’m not sure, but i would hope they owners remodeled their home with a material that would be safe for them to live with in such abundance!
Emily This is not plywood, it is OSB. There are Formaldehyde emissions with OSB, but I do not think they are beyond safe rates, and is used in the construction of basically every building constructed in the US, and maybe the world. In this case, It also appears to be heavily sealed, so I think it is probably safe.
Cassandra LaValle Post author THANK YOU for clearing that up!! I knew it couldn’t be the same as plywood, as I’ve seen this material used so often. And yes, it’s definitely sealed.
Lindsey I agree that there are some interesting details. They seem to have finished the plywood, the color is richer than what I am used to seeing. I think they could have played up the industrial elements a bit more, maybe with a concrete countertop instead… I do love the moveable cabinet though, it reminds me of those tiny modular apartments.
Franki Wouldn’t you know…I absolutely love this. Plyboard when it is “finished” has the most wonderful graphic quality earthy if you can call it that…then…juxtaposed with mirror (although I would have gone with smoked mirror) is that ying-yang. We’ve used this decor (it’s cheap..just labor intensive. franki
Bekah Oh goodness! All I can think about while looking at this is splinters! And that’s knowing it’s sealed. I think a look like this would appear less overwhelming with an accent wall/counter/shelf…but not all three.
Kelsey I’m all for thinking out of the box but this is a bit much for me. I like it on the bookshelves but think it may have had a more effective “punch” if the island and remaining cabinets were finished in different material. But here’s to design that makes you think.
xoxo Kelsey
life is in the details. style accordingly.
What a beautiful space, my dream stairway!
Love the glamorous yet natural simplicity!
Hi Cassandra, well I love mirrors, so I would have as many as possible in my home! Such a wonderful staircase!

It reminds me a lot of how Gatsby’s house might look. The black accents make it look and feel very art deco. LOVE it!
That light fixture is so glamorous!
That gold chandelier is crazzzy beautiful! Was totally inspired by it! I’d love to get one for the wedding event I am planning in Brisbane, the color theme is white, blue and gold!
This house is utter perfection!
That light fixture is amazing!
Now if only I could figure out a way to CIY it.

Love those mirrors. It really makes the space feel even bigger than it is
Mirror, mirror on the wall…Wonderful!! franki
Like the idea of the mirrors leading up the staircase. Just might have chosen different frames personally.
xoxo PARIS BEE kids blog
Wow! Love what they have done with those stairs!!
Really great space. I love all the mirrors. Its beautiful.
I find the room appears cluttered and doesn’t seem to flow. My eyes can not scan the room easily.
