A big thanks to my readers who recognized that the room I posted last night was featured in
Nuevo Estilo. A little sleuthing unearthed the entire Barcelona apartment. It doesn't say who owns it or the designer but you can read the entire article
here. I do like color in my home but I also love this type of neutral decor. The patina of the antiques and artwork softens the feel of the modern Mies van der Rohe chairs and coffee table. The kitchen and dining room are a little too contemporary for me but when I kick the owner out and move in, they can easily be changed. Bon Weekend!
The article was written in Spanish but I've used Google translate for the photo descriptions. They may be off here and there.
