apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

this is awesome. great job

Hi Marcela, what a great job! I love it, as I love those mid XX century houses, typical in Buenos Aires. I was born in Buenos Aires, now I live en Madrid and miss my city a lot. When I saw the pictures and recognize the resemblance of the familiar light and style I traced back in my memories and visit my own neighborhood. I am re-thinking my return to Argentina and settle down once an for all in my place. I still have my house in BA and have many recycling ideas boiling in my head. Also love that white "aparador".Congratulations! It would have been very interesting to see some pics from the house front and to know in which nwighborhood the house is placed. I invite you (and all of you) to visit my other place in Internet: http://dailyproof.net/ Greetings from Madrid.

Hola Marcela! qué gran trabajo han hecho. Adorable! tanto como adoro las construcción típicas de Buenos Aires de mediados del siglo XX. Nací en Buenos Aires y vivo desde hace unos años en Madrid y extraño mucho mi ciudad. Cuando ví las fotos inmediatamente reconocí el estilo y la luz familiares que me llevaron en mi memoria a visitar mi viejo barrio. Estoy re-pensando la posibilidad de mi vuelta. Todavía tengo mi casa en BA y muchas ideas de reciclado y renovación hirviendo en mi cabeza. Me encanta ese aparador blanco, es fantástico. Felicitaciones! Hubiera sido interesante ver alguna foto de la casa por fuera y saber en qué barrio está (auqne pueda ser información superflua para quienes no conozcan la ciudad). Te invito, a quienes quieran, a visitar mi pequeño espacio en Internet y que todavía está en construcción: http://dailyproof.net/ Saludos desde Madrid.

Hi Marcela, so nice to see something from BA in AT. I'm living in BA as well and I always love it when they publish homes from Uruguay or from here. It makes it feel more real. No IKEA around nor etsy stuff makes me feel like I live at the end of the world, when actually we have stuff that is unique to our culture.
I remodelled my apartment as well. It was a 70sqm office that looked hideous when I bought it, but with love and taste it now looks gorgeous. I'm waiting for summer time and sun to come streaming in through the windows to take some pictures and sending them to AT.
Love you corner wooden plate holder... where dod you find that???

Magnifico!

This home is so gorgeous I had to revisit. I am anxiously awaiting a full house tour on this!

I´m so glad to see a BA house here! My hometown has so many wonderful places, and what Romy said is true... we do our apartments therapies with no IKEA, no etsy, no craiglist, no garage sales... no credit... and yes, we have flea markets but they are too expensive and trendy. A whole different world, yet it´s a great place...

Me gusta mucho el aparador

Me gusta los colores que usaste. Vivo en Buenos Aires tambien, y lo que noto es que todo parece igual, que hay este estilo Louis Algo (no se el nombre del estilo, pero muy pesado y formal) o moderno pero muy "boxy". You give us another look apart from the normal cookie-cutter interior design crap I see in the magazines here.

Some choices aren't to my liking, but as a whole it works, and it's still a pleasant surroundings in which I'd feel comfortable.

I do, however, absolutely love the bedroom! Not always does one need a lot of patterns, but simple, single-coloured fabrics blended as in there is stunning!

(Why do air conditioners and radiators generally have to be so ugly though???)

That is so beautidul! I have been to Argentina last year and finding an apartment is a difficult task. I was looking apartments in Palermo Buenos Aires because I had been told that it was one of the safest places.
I had a great time and I hope I can come back.
Cheers
