With this glorious apartment. And my heart is beating double time. The location: Vienna, Austria. The owner's, the Reders, have lived in this 1,722-square foot attic apartment for over 40 years and get this, because of local regulations pay around $600 a month. Yeah, I know, makes me want to cry too.
There are far too many amazing details to cover here, but when I say I love a lived-in, collected over time, artsy fartsy look- this. is. it. A life well lived surrounded by meaningful objects. Wow.
In other news, I'm signing off for the rest of the week. The kiddos are a week into summer vacation and my hands are full playing mom. Also, we have a bedroom re-decoration in the works and I have to get to painting walls and furniture, and pulling up carpet, and picking out some lighting, and.......
See you soon and have a great week!

Have a great break, Darling!
I cannot wait to see how your bedroom turns out. I've saved that photo of the flooring you sent. I look at it at least once a day and get the shivers.
Cannot wait! Enjoy the week. My mouth is hitting the floor over the $600.00. Geez.
have a restful break. we'll miss ya'. Yes, loved that apartment, that large art piece needs to be in MY house!
A couple of things... That outside garden area: Love... the bathroom, non. At least you can pick a book on the way in. snort!
On a nicer side: yay for a short Summer motherhood break. I am thoroughly enjoying taking the little one to the pool or outside playdates daily. I can't wait to see what you are up to with the bedroom redo. Yes, that rhymes.
the walls and walls of books...love.
beautiful apartment with an amazing view... i would also call it love!
okay, rare to see "stuff" done so wonderfully well.
god, me too! books everywhere! everywhere! even in the bathroom! i really don't think you can ever have too many books...particularly not if they're as gorgeously displayed as this...
i can see why you're in love, that place is brilliant.
have a great brewak, and look forward to the after pics!
A home full of books...nothing better. I'd be very happy with the art as well. Have a great break with the kidlets
Have a wonderful time ripping out carpet and playing with the boys, dear!

Enjoy your break lovely girl .... and I just adore these photographs, so great !!!!
Hi Kerry. I absolutely agree, nothing better.
Thanks for stopping by and welcome!
The bedroom is my favorite!
I was thinking the living room looked a bit cluttered and then I turned to survey my own living room... very similar.
And there you have it.
A bedroom re-do? How exciting! Can't wait to see what you do!
i never met a pied a terre filled with huge contemporary art and antiques and books that i didn't love either!
and if you need any help doing anything just let me know!!
i'd love to help out!!
bookshelf lust is right!
Oh yes I am in love with it too! Great space!
that place is so cool. bookshelves in the bathroom! endless bathroom reading!
Hi Bridget! So glad you stopped by, welcome!
Hi Leah! I can't recall if I've welcomed you before, excuse my senility. ;0). So welcome!
Love a home like this. There is texture, books, personality and realness everywhere!
How exciting that you are doing a bedroom make over. Hoping you will share the result.
Happy new week to you!
