Give the furniture second life - Secondalinea

We are so much into finishing our Rafa-kids studio at the moment. 

Every day we would like to go and do something out there. We see that we're almost there.  

When I saw this simple, raw and full of space, studio of Francesca Danna Costa and Giovanni Mazza, I was in love. You don't need so many things to create character and beauty, if the space have a soul already, I think. This italian studio Secondalinea is giving second life to old furniture, some of them you see on the photos: re-used wood, old industrial pieces and a lot of space to breathe. I really could work there!  

Photo's are from Secondalinea blog made by photographer - Fabrizio Cicconi. 

Secondalinea studio you can also find in the May ELLE Desoration NL.

That's why there is a ladder in this post ;-) I will pain a lot the coming weeks and clean, after the boys will finish to demolish the walls…. I just can't stop looking for the inspiration of studios/show rooms, mostly very simple  - all the pictures are from my pinterest page.  1/ 2/  3/
