“Imagination is the eye of the soul”
Joseph Joubert
This renovated loft in Sao Paulo reflects the creative imagination of its owner, Mauricio Arruda. The living room alone indicates this. I love his mix of varying materials and how he layers his space. Of course the pop of colour everywhere enliven the spaces beautifully. Above all else are the black painted floors that allow the furniture pieces to take center stage.
Crates make perfect storage containers here. Unexpected and fun.
check out the card inspiration for the base of the table. loving the pop of green too.
a better view of the dining space.
Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! The weekend is upon us! Hurrah!:-) XX

ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone, this is a fun space. The bright colors work so well with the black and white. Love the idea of a painted floor, but not sure about black! it does work here though!
