A modern day dream dwelling, this flat was developed by local studio Spring and Mercer which splendidly accentuated historical elements whilst adding an sophisticated, fresh edge to the interiors.</p><br/><img alt="the russell covent garden phil durrant est magazine The Russell Apartment – London By Spring And Mercer dream home building " height="357" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/the-russell-covent-garden-phil-durrant-est-magazine_.jpg" title="The Russell Apartment - London-Spring and Mercer " width="500" /><br/><p>This urban apartment is situated on the 1st floor of a Victorian-period building, which was formerly a warehouse space. Overlooking the piazza, the interior design manages to magnificently balance the current touches of grandeur, such as the wide crescent-shaped windows, with industrial simplicity like the exposed bolted-steel ceiling beams painted black.</p><br/><img alt="the russell covent garden phil durrant est magazine The Russell Apartment – London By Spring And Mercer dream home building " height="357" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/the-russell-covent-garden-phil-durrant-est-magazine__.jpg" title="The Russell Apartment - London-Spring and Mercer " width="500" /><br/><p>Prints and texture abound in this modern space, with houndstooth and herringbone playing effectively with geometric-patterned rugs against washed oak flooring. It’s a cool illusion how the black-and-white area carpets initially appear as marble floor tiling.

Take a closer look and you’ll notice the understated, but perky lemon-yellow accents–from books to bowls, wall art to candlesticks–which delightfully offset this otherwise muted color scheme.</p><br/><img alt="the russell covent garden phil durrant est magazine The Russell Apartment – London By Spring And Mercer dream home building " height="357" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/the-russell-covent-garden-phil-durrant-est-magazine____.jpg" title="The Russell Apartment - London-Spring and Mercer " width="500" /><br/><p>There is absolutely a warm power right here which is additional provoked by the custom-built  wall-unit shelving, which is filled with a variety of-sized cubbies displaying a plethora of books. This focal point resides in the open living space, which also attributes a central dining table. A cool addition to this space is the glass-globe chandelier which adds a touch of whimsy.</p><br/><img alt="the russell covent garden phil durrant est magazine The Russell Apartment – London By Spring And Mercer dream home building " height="357" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/the-russell-covent-garden-phil-durrant-est-magazine_____.jpg" title="The Russell Apartment - London-Spring and Mercer " width="500" /><br/><p>This modern dream apartment is a livable, sophisticated space which holds the greatest of everything–merry British flair doused with a chic, urban vibe.

I figured I would wait until after the holidays once I was ready for some cheerful spring-like touches. One of the things I love most about sticking with a neutral palette is that it is so easy to switch around a few pillows or accessories and get a new look. It obviously doesn't change things that much, but it does help me look around and feel like the promise of spring is on the horizon! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Adding some Spring Colors In our Kitchen and Family Room

Because I had a ton of cleaning to do indoors in a very short amount of time (our poor garage and closets were disasters), I ended up just cleaning off the porch and adding some plants and a few of the items from last spring one afternoon right before we left for NH. I figured if we weren't able to sell our house I would still have plenty of time once we got back to paint the hutch and change things up a little. However, we got an offer while we were gone last week so our house is officially under contract! (For those of you who have asked: yes, we are staying in Williamsburg, and no, we don't know where exactly we are moving yet. I suppose we 'd better get moving on that...) Obviously there are still quite a few steps before our closing but we are excited so far! Because of that I will be slowly starting to pack up everything and therefore won't be making any changes out here on this porch. Here it is how it looks right now though:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilceC5eYQqV3yOI1O73u2rBPunS0NW2iBBKNj7_fln4bM0c5T2iijYGzwmX6NmBSwF0gjrLmmO6vKFosK7Er0pkzC3-wN6vTaDV79EkDHbaLlBUsltqvEsHljDhMfvmuREYzzNH09e9Att/s1600/aMarch_3041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I used Shenandoah Taupe by Benjamin Moore for the paint and then added some of Annie Sloan's Dark Wax over the top.  We also sort of got a new lamp. I actually ordered it for Jason's house back during our last Joss and Main event but on accident put in my shipping address (honestly, it wasn't on purpose!) and now I kind of want to keep it. =)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
