Beautiful Attic Apartment Filled with Positive Energy Posted: 16 Jun 2011 05:49 AM PDT Here is an apartment that inspires a youthful, fresh feel. Consisting of 2,5 rooms plus kitchen and stretching over a living surface of 63 square meters, this is the sort of crib that makes you think twice about how efficient your own apartment is arranged. The living room is the core of the home and features a lovely mix of white and red with an energizing feel. The large sofa and stylish coffee table seem to call out for guests. Ingenious storage solutions can be observed all throughout the living room. Surprisingly enough, they are more aesthetic than practical. Subtle decorating items such as flower arrangements and red and white paintings make for an inviting living space. And have you noticed the guitar? The bedroom may be small, but couldn’t look cozier.

Original Home with Charming Rustic Decors in Girona, Spain Posted: 16 Jun 2011 04:28 AM PDT It’s been a while since we featured a genuine rustic crib on Freshome. This delightful residence, located in he historical region of Empordà, in Girona, Spain, seems like the perfect place for tranquility. Its original traditional details and raw materials make one forget all about the crowded city life. Believe it or not, this home was initially built in the fourteenth century and still showcases some of the details of its original architecture, even after its recent renovation. Found on micasa, this charming crib displays many inspiring elements for those of you who are into vintage interiors. We particularly like the bedroom, even though it reminds us of a solitary sleeping room sprung out of medieval times. Notice the originality of the bedside table and headboard as well as the way they blend in with the rest of the decor. The walls of stone and mortar have been very well preserved. A unique living area was improvised outdoors and consists of plenty of playful cushions and light furniture. Enjoy! Ready for more amazing design ideas? Check below !

A Stunning Residence: House in a Church by Ruud Visser Architects Posted: 15 Jun 2011 11:27 AM PDT House in a Church was designed by Ruud Visser Architects and is located in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. As the name of the project suggests, this building used to be a church, but in the 1960′s, the owners started using it as a storage deposit.  Here is more from the architects: “Instead of simply transforming the church into a house with 12 bedrooms, we have a 'normal' house created as a separate object placed in the church. You can truly walk around the house while you are 'in' the church. The last aisle of the church, the transept is completely open. The front and side, allowed practical use, as much as possible to its original state. On the back-side of the original church was the choir. A smaller and lower volume than the actual church. With its back facade directly situated on the bank of the river De Rotte. The original volume of the choir is replaced by a modern volume, with the same measurements but much shorter and with the back facade completely out of glass. The formerly 'transept' of the church (cross-ship) is laid open now. And is designed as an immense void, where the whole original church can be seen. The new glass-façade opens the church to the river and gives a magnificent view off the landscape. The transept now functions as a buffer between the outside and the private house.“  How do you appreciate the outcome of this conversion? Ready for more amazing design ideas? Check below !
