breeze

(x)

Big sweeping windows, loads of light & rather interesting touches, like a bathtub full of weeds, here and there. This apartment feels like it would very much invite and welcome you to sit down. Look around, take a closer look. A bit scruffed up & not altogether perfect, in human form this apartment would most likely be your rosy-cheeked younger cousin. 

The place certainly doesn't seem run of the mill, but rather very individual & also very light-hearted. Yes, maybe it's the kind of place to wear its heart on its sleeve, but it very much likes to have a laugh. This is a place, after all, with a cement cast of a dog up on the armoire. It's very Pippi Longstocking in that way.

And no wonder! - Sibylle Oellerich, the lady responsible for this jewel of an apartment, is an interior design whose job it is to create "one-of-a-kind creations for shops, hotels, and film sets."

I am especially enamoured with the wooden floors in combination with all the white furniture & the occasional pink touches. The wallpaper & bedsheet in the second picture remind me of vacations spent at my grandmother's house in the country.

It's such a charming, breezy place - I am super in love.
