Elegant bohemian

Posted on Tue, 12 Mar 2024 by KiM

My love of eclectic interiors, where old meets older and newer in an unconventional way, never waivers. (As I sit here at my desk and look to my left, there’s a reproduction 1946 George Nelson freeform sofa with 1800’s art and a 2010 Flos Aim pendant hanging over it). The Saint Paul, Minnesota home of designer Jacqueline Fortier is as eclectic as they come, in an elegant bohemian, Parisian apartment sort of way and I think it’s absolutely stunning.

A picturesque Mallorcan finca

Posted on Mon, 5 Feb 2024 by KiM

I don’t really have the words to describe how beautiful the Mallorcan farmhouse of Tatiana Baibabaeva and Tyson Strang of design team Terra Coll Home is. But I have dreamt of visiting Mallorca for many years and this is exactly what I imagine staying in. Rustic and natural and rough around the edges. Most, if not all photos by Salva López.

Working on a Saturday

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Mille Headquarters by Anne McDonald Design.

Castle Clécy (or Castle Boho-No!)

Posted on Sun, 3 Sep 2023 by KiM

This 19th century château is located in Calvados (Normandy region), and originally, the building consisted solely of the large tower dating from the 17th century and used as a hunting lodge. The second part was completed in 1869. The property is set in more than two hectares of partly wooded parkland, with a heated 11 m x 5 m swimming pool near the manor house. The property has three entrances, each with its own wooden or wrought iron gates, and storage buildings. 450m² of living space with 7 bedrooms and an attic floor that has yet to be renovated. The property also has 2 luxury “gites” (holiday rental home) within the wooded area.
A classic French château that is really breathtaking, though I am horrified the current owners decided a boho vibe was the way to go, and included cheap Ikea lighting (and string lights in the kitchen? really?), Ikea units in the kitchen and what looks like faux wood laminate? engineered? flooring. Praying for this poor beautiful home that the next owners do it justice. For sale for 1,690,000 € via Sotheby’s.

Three houses and a studio, a total of 700m2 and with a particular style each but with the harmony of the whole. Let yourself be seduced by every corner you find. A unique Mediterranean vegetable space, with a central garden with a saltwater pool and a pergola covered in natural shade. Enjoy the garden with seasonal organic products.
