Peek-a-boo







I love how open plans tend to tease us a bit by giving us a peek-a-boo of sorts into adjoining spaces. Usually if you’re in such a home, you find your feet just wandering off into that space, especially if it’s a tease that you just couldn’t resist!  Here’s to a fantastic weekend for everyone! Snow snow, go away!(for those who still have snow). XX

  1. I love these rooms! One of my favorite looks is white walls with pops of color brought in with furniture or accessories :)

  2. I love the pop of color on the walls and visible from other rooms- the art work on the walls is amazing! Such great pieces- the light with the black shade reminds me of something that might be made with chalk stickers or chalk paint- very cool! Have a great day lady! Ren

  6. Love the open and airy vibe each of these rooms has, and like you I like the "peekaboo" effect of seeing a glimpse of another room too. I also like the pops of color in adjoining rooms in a few of the above..nice pictures.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

  19. I love these rooms too. I can almost not wait to own my own home and get started. I don't want to decorate it myself though. I have to leave that to the professionals :-)

  20. I love the blue ceilings.
    I am inspired by the whole peek a boo concept. Looking beyond one room is a wonderful idea.
    happy weekend

  22. The photo with the fuschia throw is brilliant. Whoever designed that space is a genius. I love how the floor plan lets you see 3 rooms at once and your eye is drawn to the art on the wall so it doesn't seem like a vast and endless space. Great photos as always Stacey. xo Carol

  40. I like open spaces, but living in such a cold climate, I wonder how practical they are. It takes such a huge amount of money to heat large spaces in the north. One can wish, I suppose.

  41. So right dear - love the space and the sleigh chairs!

    Have a lovely weekend and glad to be back checking blogs!

  42. Marcel Breuer, Verner Panton, Eileen Gray- always such joy to see in peoples homes!
    That last image is totally my favourite one though, perfect bookshelf, perfect brightness, and a perfect ensamble of white!
    Hope your weekend has been a joy!
    Hugs!
