The serenity that is Betsy Brown

Posted on Thu, 14 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

“A well suited home is a portrait of those who live within. The palette colored by life’s experiences, a graceful segue from solitude to public life. It is a place where one feels effortless alone or in the company of friends. Such a home is our aim. Its creation begins with inquiry into the patterns of daily living, understanding what is nurturing, stimulating, calming—what feels like home. It requires inspection of cherished objects, and introspection into cherished experiences.”

I love the houses that Betsy Brown and her team cast their spell over. Serene and sophisticated.

Christina Nielsen Design

A resounding love for textiles and old school craftsmanship is evident throughout Christina‘s sophisticated yet refined spaces. Her layered mix of clean and contemporary with eclectic and antique results in projects that feel authentic, intentional and curated over time. Having lived in both New York and London, those experiences informed her bold design eye and exposed her to the world of art, fashion and European interiors. Known for her playful sensibility, the most pivotal part of Christina’s aesthetic is a fusion of elegance with livability.
Beautiful space. I am dying over that massive kitchen with the brick stove surround in the middle. WHOA.

An artistic Melbourne retreat

Posted on Mon, 4 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

Nestled in a leafy Melbourne suburb, the Auburn Residence by Fiona Lynch is a relaxed, artistic retreat. Inspired by nature’s hues, a rich palette of greens and browns gives the two-story, five-bedroom home a sense of serenity. Bespoke furnishings, textured finishes and geometric accents create an understated luxury. (Nothing understated about New York designer Karl Zahn’s 44-bulb ‘Kingdom’ chandelier though!) From vibrant artworks to tranquil bedrooms, this highly personal home provides a sanctuary for its owners and leaves a lasting impression on guests.

“Space Exploration seeks to create spaces that resonate with subtle harmony. Our projects are driven by a love of simplicity, nuance, craftsmanship and the integrity of beautiful materials expressed through construction. Space Exploration has great reverence for history, but also prizes innovation and fresh ideas.”

Is it wrong to daydream that this is my apartment? No? I didn’t think so. Upper West Side Apartment by Space Exploration.

European vibes in a Washington home

Sharing another unexpected interior by Studio Gusto – this time for a home in Washington, D.C.. What a lovely surprise this would be walking through the front door. Also I am having a serious dose of library envy. A must-have in the next house! Photos: Stacy Zarin Goldberg.
