My Space: Judith de Graaff of Joelix

Judith is the author of Joelix, a lifestyle blog about design, travel and nature. While she was born in the Netherlands, she now resides just outside of Paris with her husband and three (very photogenic!) cats in a renovated industrial building from the 60’s called Studio Sapique.

This home, well it really is something else. I’m sure you will love reading about the journey that she and her husband went on to renovate it into quite a remarkable and well thought out job. This renovation has been featured on Design Sponge and Ikea Family Live Magazine and you can check out the entire renovation of Studio Sapique over on her blog.

Today I’m so pleased to have Judith as my guest to share with us her favourite space in her spectacular home.

Our red cinema room is my favorite in our home. When we moved into our building, almost 10 years ago we cramped all our stuff in this room and lived there for quite some time while renovating the rest of the house. It was the only heated room at the time, which makes me an expert on showering in ice-cold bathrooms with frozen showergel and defrosting cats’ water bowls. But it’s not only the warmth of the room that I love: the trees outside and the fact that it’s on the second floor give it a cosy tree house feel. Or that’s what I like to think ;)

Without the cardboard boxes, the room is now big enough for a small dining table, lots of greens & dvds and some red cinema chairs from where we watch our favorites series or a movie. Somehow the red cinema chairs resulted in lots of red in this room. We rescued the emergency stretcher from the factory outside, the original and very heavy canvas stretcher is still inside. Our three cats also love being lazy in here, especially when the sun is out.

Thanks for having me Mel!

    Such a beautiful home!! The red is so striking and many fear it in their own home designs. I live in St. Louis, Missouri in the USA and I rarely see it utilized. I just added it to a basement recreation room as an accent color last year but it was the first time it was introduced into my home. This home is memorable and well-designed.

    Thank you for sharing!

    I take my hat off to you Judith for going through an ice cold bathroom and frozen shower gel to arrive at this beautiful renovation. You must feel so connected to the space now, I love that you can peer out the window and look at the trees outside, cats are gorgeous too and your use of red. Thanks Judith and Mel. x
