A while ago I stumbled upon this house in Chene-Bougerie, Switzerland and really enjoyed how they'd turned their home into a modernized version of the a-typical Swiss Franco-style chalet...
...they maintained the wood herringbone floors, of which I've a HUGE soft spot for...
...the kitchen is a bit modern, but they did an excellent job of creating kitchen workspace without affecting the perimeter of the room and breaking the visual aesthetic look of having those wonderful french doors in every room on the first floor as is "typisch"...
...honestly its the little details such as the slanted off-kilter bookshelves that can separate a renovation from being another bland re-hash of whats already been done, and something that pushes the boundary and does something truly unique and ...Fun!...
...pay no attention to the turtle in the room...um...its there to show
the scale of the room...yes, that's it...
...AND! They left those AMAZING stone stairs up the back stair hall!!!...
...more turtle mayhem...but we wonder, how does he open those doors...
...who wouldn't want violently-vivaciously-vibrant-verdant green in their bathroom?...
...Honestly, apart from the architectural details (notice the use of recessed lighting) they've used their ...progressive colour palate to turn what would have been a stock standard traditional Swiss house into a uniquely interesting play on tradition... Now if only they had more furniture...
so cool love it!
