I see, thanks! What did it used to be, do you know?

Sill, I love the terrace you posted in #1215; what a delightful place to entertain friends on summer evenings!

^no, unfortunetaly i dont... a friend of mine is an estate agent and he said it kinda looks like it might have been the art studio or the working place of a painter or a sculptor, because its structure is not typical for an private apartment of that time. but thats just a guess

sill, those are lovely..thank you :-)

sill, I love those. You have excellent taste.

The apartment in Florence is stunning as well.

Great pics Sill, white wooden floors are my architectural weakness.

gius, i love that pic. wow, the decoration is so amazing and intricate. the tiling seems like a mix of venetian and middle eastern taste.

Thanks for the pics sill. Looking at Scandanvian decor makes one feel so summery and fresh. All that bright whiteness (a pain to live with but gorgeous to look at). The chair in post #1216 is amazing - such an unusual shape!

And gius that Moroccan room is exquisite!

A stunning dining room.

So, I'm going to be moving from a somewhat modern loft apt. into an old fashioned, quaint little home. We wanted to have a better back yard for the dog, and I decided it's time to finally live on the ground

The only thing is, most of my decor is somewhat bold and eccentric (posted pics a few pages back). I feel like I should tone down the colors, etc. for this style of house. Most of the walls are already a nice shade of yellow. I'm thinking an anthropologie, vintage and nature-inspired sort of vibe-- only, staying away from the shabby-chic look that's so easy to fall into. Does anyone have some ideas? This thread is such an inspiration, so I'll definitely be going back and saving photos!

hmm.. maybe incorporate your bold pieces with more earthy tones (a bit Moroccan) ?

Pieces made of 'castaway' driftwood.. rough beams.. etc

Distressed leather armchairs : http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban...SNEW&prepushId=,

burnt colors / earthy browns mixed with more saturated ones..

Or maybe do the kind of 'Scandinavian style' that is featured so much in interior blogs .. white, mixed with a few bolds, and modern/vintage pieces mixed..
