This apartment in Marseille, France is adorned with an array of playful items and toys. Its 80 sqm are a veritable treasure trove for young and old: old toys, pieces of armory, a collection of robots and other childish treasures transformed the interiors into an incredible playground.
Bring the carnival into your home by adding a big toy like a mechanical helicopter, robots and other big kids items to add some fun and whimsy to your home! Let’s start in the lounge room.
The wall is decorated with a myriad of fun fair targets . The assembly, linear at first, breaks down into a happy cloud!
The dining room – the perfect mixture of raw rustic furniture with a vast collection of robots.
A truly eclectic mix of elements in the kitchen, the old and the new weaved together in an atmosphere of fun. Loving the retro cash register on the bench.
A piece of science fiction thrown in the mix with the metal skull of the famous Terminator: a collector’s item that will delight film lovers!
Behind the glass walls is a very original bedroom for the parents. The bed is arranged on a wooden platform under which is a cabin built for kids. The decorating emphasis on red is particularly charming when you read the sign that warns of fire above the bed! In front of the bed is an army of robots.
The parents platform bed becomes a hidden playhouse for the children.
A look inside the playhouse.
A very urban and humorous bathroom composed of industrial valves, metal bowls and aluminium panels.
Creative Director and president of J.Crew; Jenna Lyons really knows something about style. Her home is the epitome of chic and sophistication all done in a dark, masculine style. Lots of black, white and dark wood and so many antlers and fireplaces. This house has been in many publications and recently been put on the market.
Jenna Lyons is selling her stunning and widely-publishedPark Slope townhouse. The stylish, well-decorated four-story 1880′s Brooklyn home once graced the cover of the now-defunct Domino magazine and a slew of other design-obsessed publications. According to Curbed, the sale of the townhouse is prompted by Lyons’ divorce from her artist husband Vincent Mazeau, with whom she bought the house with in 2004 for $1,300,000.
Now listed for $3,750,000, the spectacular North Slope townhouse, at 20’ wide with 4 stories plus a finished cellar, has been impeccably renovated to perfection. Every modern amenity has been added, while a complete restoration has preserved the integrity of the home’s original details. An open double parlor, beautiful (but not fussy) plaster cornices and medallions, aged pine floors, and 7 restored limestone mantels are just a few of the special details of this magnificent house. The casually chic home boasts 7 bedrooms, 3.5 luxuriously appointed baths, an eat-in cook’s kitchen with top of the line appliances, large private terrace off the master bedroom and a cellar that has been converted to a media room for entertaining. The ground-up renovation includes all new mechanicals, electric and plumbing, new rear façade and roof. The house has a landscaped, irrigated South facing rear garden anchored by a mature Dogwood tree. The property is currently set up as a 2-family residence with renovated garden rental apartment.
