Rustic transformation in an 18th century warehouse
In Dordrecht city in Holland there are towering so many strange buildings. This warehouse built in the 1750s was used for storing the bedding of the nearby hospital until two years ago a couple renovated it.
The dining room and the kitchen are the central places. Despite the low height sunny, breezy spaces are revealed to us. Clear-out, stainless steel cooker forms a part of the kitchen furniture, while the wooden table that is beside it functions as storage. Under the wooden beams white, built-in cabinets and a classical Smeg fridge shine.
On the other side of the dining room, the metal structured table is covered with massive wooden slats. Retro school chairs surround it and is completed by a newsy, airy metal lamp. In a white, antique showcase are stored the bowls.
Wooden spiral stairs lead upstairs. Through a wooden framed glass door we can enter into the living room. Beside a teak wood cabinet with shelves, armchairs that evoke the atmosphere and color scheme of the 60’s are turning towards the television. A tripod lamp and an old radio further enhance the atmosphere of the mid-last century.
A TV cabinet assembled from different, cheerful shelves and an ocher, leather armchair stand in the other corner. The lazy color scheme is highlighted by the noble, green sofa and cushions.
In the flight of stairs that lead to the second floor above a worn chest, on tiles printed photo adorns.
On the upstairs bedrooms wooden beams lead excitingly the eye. Below them can be seen a restrained double bed and a cabinet that was bought from the flea market. Beside a shuttered door you can sit down on a Turkish puff.
It is a cozy, yet industrial atmosphere in a modern age-appropriate, antiquity keeping home.
