The Farm at Avebury, Wiltshire

Posted on Fri, 6 Oct 2023 by KiM

An old stable block in the heart of a family run farm is transformed into a B&B. Situated on a working farm in Wiltshire in a unrivaled location nestled into the rolling hills sits The Farm at Avebury. Five hideaway stables of varying sizes offer guests a break from the outside world. From an interiors point of view we had a lot of fun with colour and pattern, wanting to offer visitors something they didn’t necessarily have at home.
The colourful yet calming vibes of these transformed spaces are exactly what I would want on a vacation to Wiltshire, as opposed to staying in a bland and unwelcoming hotel. Designed by Polly Ashman.

Paradise in Paradise Valley

A sprawling house in a sprawling landscape. It could overwhelming. Instead, it’s warm, welcoming and all-encompassing. Think rustic vibes with a mix of traditional and contemporary elements. Modern Mediterranean in Arizona by Scottsdale-based OZ Architects.

In 2022, a vibrant transformation took place in the heart of Lyon’s Croix-Rousse district. A 65 square meter apartment underwent a complete renovation, orchestrated by the skilled hands of studio CRAIE CRAIE. The space, once outdated, was reborn with a burst of lively colours and playful volumes, a testament to the studio’s distinctive graphic identity. The renovation preserved the apartment’s unique features: a small, colourful kitchen flowed into the living area, adorned with a black-and-white checkered floor reminiscent of an American diner. The transformation journey extended to every corner, from a cleverly optimized kitchen with vibrant green accents to a bedroom seamlessly integrated with custom storage. The bathroom, adorned with shades of green and pink, retained its classic charm with a touch of contemporary flair. Throughout the home, thoughtful details like vintage handles and strategically placed mirrors added a touch of whimsy. This apartment, a testament to CRAIE CRAIE’s ingenuity, offers a living space and a visual feast, a fusion of past and present, brought to life through a vibrant kaleidoscope of colours and creative design.

This apartment in the historic Cobble Hill neighorhood belongs to partner, Erin Fearins and has been carefully renovated to include custom millwork and an expertly layered mix of vintage furniture pieces and carefully curated art and antiques.
