Julianne Moore's West Village Loft

I haven't done a 'celebrity home' post in a while now so I'm absolutely thrilled about this particular one because Julianne Moore is one of my favorite actresses. This Oscar winning actress is always the epitome of style. Even in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, she carries herself with grace and elegance. Something I really admire about her. 

I found these images in Elle Decor and it came as no surprise that the West Village loft that she shares with her husband, Bart Freundlich and their two children, Caleb and Liv, is perfectly in-sync with her persona. Its modern, stylish and has an understated sense of elegance. But it definitely doesn't scream 'movie-star diva' and there is absolutely no in-your-face glamour that's you tend to see in so many Hollywood homes. 

The loft has been styled and revamped by Bart's architect brother, Oliver Freundlich and before anything, it is a home. I really like the simplicity of the spaces within this home. It acts as a perfect foil for the lovey designer pieces of furniture, artwork and pottery. I also love the sense of openness and the light that streams into this loft. 

Take a look, and tell me what you think...

A Parisian Apartment - When Minimalism and Vintage Meet

I adore this home! In fact, when I first saw pictures of it on Coco Lapine, I sighed in envy and wistfully dreamed I lived there. These pics are definitely going in my folder of images titled 'Inspiration for the new place'. I'm hoping that by the time we're ready to start doing up our new place, I'll have saved up enough for a polished concrete floor similar to whats done here!

What I so love about this charming home is the way the owners, a writer and an artist, have managed to put their own stamp on this basically minimal apartment space. And in doing so, they have created a home which is playful, fun and eclectic. 

The vintage touches gel so will with the minimal, blank canvas that the original architectural features provide. Take a look... tell me what you think.
