GLOSSY CONCRETE FLOORS IN SMALL COPENHAGEN APARTMENT

glossy shiny concrete floors in a dining room

Floors in any space are key to me.  I struggled for months last year just to get the right color stain on my wide plank wood floors in my little cottage in the Hollywood Hills.  My contractor and boyfriend and mom and sister all thought I was kooky when after we finished the floors, I had the floor guy sand them down again and start over so the color was just right.  I love the floors now.  They are just the right tone with a light greyish brownish finish and with slightly beveled boards. Should do a story on my wood floors.

Anyhooo...I absolutely adore these glossy concrete floors in this Copenhagen apartment.  Love the gleam from the shiny floors and the wavy texture of the concrete.  With a floor like this, the decor can stay minimalistic and simple.  The floors speak for themselves.  Res ipsa loquitur.

I love the entryway with the French doors and the white washed block walls.

To gloss or not to gloss...that is the question?

Happy Monday!

She goes by the nom de plume of Oscar PR Girl.   Her real name is Erika Bearman and she is a real life publicity executive for fashion power house Oscar de la Renta.  Bearman has legions of followers on her Twitter page where she tweets all things Oscar and all things from the world of fashion.

So leave it to a fashionista to have uber New York interior designer Miles Redd make a hugely fashionable statement in her weekend home featured in Elle Decor.

What do you think of this high style decor? Anything here that you would want in your home? I would love to try a high gloss painted floor!

Happy Wednesday!

P.S. TE is in New York...he is accepting an award for his work...I am very proud of him. All of my friends and family are probably wondering why I am sending them all of the details about TE's work award...well I can't help it! I am very happy for him.

P.P.S. Feel very behind on a lot of things...need to catch up...I'm sure this is a universal feeling...right? So much to do...so little time!

DESIGN IDEA: GLOSS IT UP - A STYLISH CEILING SOLUTION!

foyer with light blue lacquer arch windows, a dome pendant light, a long stone table and a white armchair

I love the idea of adding visual interest to the ceilings in a home.  Why not try something different in at least one space in your home?

I like this idea...high gloss ceilings!  Here, interior designer Beth Webb used a super glossy pale blue paint on the curved ceilings in this hallway and living room.  The ceiling color contrasts ever so slightly with the white walls throughout the rooms.   The light blue is reminiscent of a bright sky on an early spring day.  Love it.  The ceiling almost looks like it has had several coats of lacquer applied to it.  I'm sure this look can be achieved with a super high gloss paint.

What do you think of this design idea?

I like the idea of using a pale color on the ceiling too...nothing too bold or contrasting...just adds some texture and depth to the rooms.

Do weigh in!  Do you love it or dislike it? Comment below.

Happy Wednesday (again)!
