Designer Guest House

 

 

 

 

Of course this is in Amsterdam. Who would have guessed I would be drawn to a Dutch interior?? Ulrika Lundgren is fashion designer, her label: Rika. Madonna and famous folk like that wear her designs. These photos are of her guest house that is located above her showroom in Amsterdam.

I love the mix of vintage and modern, the simplicity, and of course the bad ass glass bottle lamps.

For more of Maison Rika.

Italian Tree House

In the hills overlooking the Italian city of Florence sits a charming structure among the pine and olive trees. A tree house-complete with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

When designer, Riccardo Barthel was building the couple's main house, in the 1980's, they had planned on building a tree house for their two children to play in; however it never happened.
After the children had grown they revived the concept and transformed it into a guest house.

Barthels overall inspiration was a water tower.
