SEE THIS HOUSE: FRESH FLAT!

July 7, 2011
  • Share
Black spiral staircase

What a cute one bedroom apartment.   So fresh!  I love the white painted hardwood floors in the living room, the baby blue powder coated pendant lights above the dining table, the bright white walls and the minimalist decor.  This space works for me.  This shows that a small city apartment can feel just as light airy and charming as a Nantucket estate (I mention Nantucket only because best of friend FF just called me today asking if I was doing the annual trip to Nantucket with her and her family…I had to decline due to COCOCOZY collection trade shows in Atlanta and New York this summer…I love Nantucket…I can’t believe another summer of missing orange fizzy drinks at the Bayside Beach Club and the Boston Pops on Jetties Beach…oh Nantucket…so be warned dear readers…Nantucket and the lack there of is definitely on my mind…somehow I’m sure I’ll be mentioning Nantucket and relating everything to Nantucket for the next week or so…just so you know…!).

Living room with painted white wood floor, round cofee table, exposed brick wall with an empty white picture frame, a white sofa with bright patterned accent pillows, a white armchair and a taupe rug

Small kitchen with floating shelves, grey walls, white tile floor and a view of the dining room

What do you think of this little flat?  Does it work for you?  What might you add or subtract.

Happy Wednesday!

    My bags are packed. I could move right in. I love it that much. Crazy for the art work, all that white with splashes of bright color and then that cocktail table.
    Genius.

    It’s lovely to look at. Does the occupant live a monastic life? No television set, no desk, no computer, no books, no papers?

    Looks great at first glance…But where will the 8 people eating at the table sit b4 and after dinner there are no chairs and plenty of room for them. I’m also not fond of that brick poping out for no reason…

    Simple, airy, crisp, very pretty…but can you live in it? Looks more like a staging assignment than a living space. I could just see my kids get hold of it, ugh!

    I do like the spaces, but I could go for a few more pops of color, maybe just in the dining room — maybe either the table or chairs, to break up all the white. Or maybe just some texture, like natural woven chairs or a reclaimed wood dining table.

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
