name of the decorator? Better yet – where is that light fixture from?
Ew.
112 000$ to have it furnsihed? Really?
The designer is Jessica Jensen, Leah. It’s a partnership with Minto called MINTO x JESSICA JENSEN. Oh! And the light fixture is from Restoration Hardware.
Fur pillows – seriously – that garnered mention? I am usually a very make that VERY positive person but this place – well ho hum comes to mind. Nothing was stunning, nothing at all, nothing of note, bland, unexciting, uninspiring, grey, grey, or is it gray. Chalkboard, what is this grade two. This is one of the most lacklustre places you have ever presented. Good job you mentioned a designer did this place, otherwise who would have ever known. Good job you mentioned the name, now this person can be avoided. Sorry to sound harsh, but alas this place is deserving.
The penthouse of
King West looks very good! Most of all I like the master’s bedroom that has a
wall made of reclaimed barnwood and the blue color that dominates here. The
master bedroom’s en suite washroom is amazing, with the Paris picture on the wall. And of course the
view…no words only emotions! The city view is astonishing! But the kitchen
colors are a little bit cold to my mind. I’d add some colorful, bright accents
there to make it look appetizing and inviting as this is the place where you
spend most of your time and where you eat. Kitchen is the heart of the house,
so it should look tempting. When I bought my condo at http://ottawa-gatineau.localmartca.com/apartments-condos/
the first thing I made was the kitchen. A rich gold color is an ideal choice
for kitchens as it is appealing during the day and night. By the
way, yellow has a stimulating effect on the nerves and encourages feelings of
happiness and joy.
