This Converted School is sure to stir up some fond memories of your studious past. Every piece of eclectic home decor plays a role in creating the nostalgic schoolhouse atmosphere. Fantastic antiques and artifacts grace every surface, every piece of artwork and furniture seems to embody the graceful passage of time.
The eclectic interior design totally makes sense once you consider the history behind the building it was once a charming late Victorian school, and has since been restored to the fresh and unique interior you see here. This apartment occupies the top floor, once a gymnasium. Mixed vintage chairs and industrial lights are the perfect way to balance the playful youthfulness of the space with a more mature, intimate appeal.
