This is the kitchen of one of my best friends: Leila. She is fashion designer and also stylist. Her kitchen was isolated from the living by a wall. She decided to open part of the wall to give space to a counter so that she could have a view of the coast of Rio while working in the kitchen. That is her view:Essa é a cozinha de uma amiga minha, Leila. Ela já trabalhou como estilista de moda e agora faz projetos graficos e de design. Essa cozinha era isolada da sala por um muro. Ela mandou abrir um buraco para fazer esse bar. O tampo e' de mármore azul. Assim ela pode ter uma vista do litoral do Rio enquanto cozinha. A vista e' essa aí na foto abaixo:
Her apartment is small but still she found solutions for storage and to make it more pleasant. Bellow: the two pictures on the wall she bought when in N.Y. on a street market. They were saved from a sunk ship and have therefore water marks:
Despite being an apartment of modern architecture, she softened the whole space by adding antique pieces such as this Venetian mirror:
And this old bag serves as a piece of decoration on one of the shelves with CD's:
A bolsa antiga serve como peça decorativa na prateleira de CD's:
One of her prides are these jewel boxes she inherited form her family. It is the coast of Rio, with Botafogo beach and Sugarloaf mountain:
Um dos seus orgulhos são essas caixas de bijuterias que ela herdou da família. No tampo estão gravuras do Rio antigo, com a praia de Botafogo e o Pão-de-Açúcar:
Uma pitada de irreverencia na cozinha. While in the kitchen she opted for some irreverence...
O banheiro tem potes e acessorios antigos. The bathroom has pretty old pots and bottles.
Some more vintage touch: these jewel holders. Ainda um toque de brechó: porta bijuterias em forma de manequins.
She is really mada about these dolls. See another one:
