A super chic and mod mix in a North Copenhagen home

This home has a meditative quality that I am instantly drawn to, however, I don't know if I could keep it so spare. I think I'd ultimately end up adding some elements to bring in some coziness.

How about you? Could you/do you live in a space this minimal?










oooh...a baby grand

love the floors in this place...

Are you one of those people who (like me) wishes they'd persisted with their piano lessons? I gave up at 13 when we moved to a tiny mining town in the middle of nowhere in the outback, without a teacher.

But it's not too late to take it up again!

This piano above was purchased second hand for $100. The new owner spruced it up with some vibrant red paint and new upholstery for the stool.

Doesn't it look fabulous?

I think this is such a great idea - with some paint and some fabric, your piano could fit into virtually any style of interior. And it involves very little money!

I'd probably paint mine white and cover the stool with a hardwearing neutral, nubby linen.

I've seen quite a few second hand pianos while out trawling auction houses. I have nowhere to put a piano in my current tiny house, but maybe in my next house!

Have a fantastic weekend.

Best wishes

Modern, warm homes you'll love

It's Friday and I'm frazzled. In search of a moment of clarity I turned to Metropolitan Home for some contemporary zen. Sometimes I feel like modern is just a bit too sterile and "uncozy," but I think that when someone manages to pull off warm and lived in, and modern, than the results can be really great.

I love all of the art work in this San Francisco house, I also like how the framing is consistent.





What wouldn't I do for that piano?

I really like the coffee table out of logs, I'd love to see it up close or in person to see how it's finiished
