A Georgian home with period features in London

Posted on Thu, 25 Apr 2024 by KiM

I had to share another Shoot Factory location home with you (this one is a Georgian 3 bedroom 1 bathroom in London) because this also tugs at my heartstrings for being so effortlessly casual and cool, with a basic vintage vibe and not being so “trendy” like the previous one. And I would have been completely sold upon walking through the front door, turning around and seeing that yellow painted landscape. Sooooo pretty!

The Sauvie Island River House project by Jessica Helgerson Interior Design saw a comprehensive overhaul of a house’s interior and exterior slated initially for demolition. Dating back to the 1970s and having undergone poorly executed remodels over time, the core structure held promise in the eyes of the design team. Their approach focused on reimagining the flow within the house to achieve simplicity and clarity. The long great room was partitioned into distinct kitchen and living areas, cleverly connected by a two-sided fireplace clad in earthy glazed brick. Responding to the clients’ request for warmth and lively hues, the walls were adorned with douglas fir panelling, paint and wallpaper in a recurring palette of terra cotta, mustard, teal and blue reminiscent of the house’s original era.

As much as I love colour and pattern, the soothing vibes of a totally neutral home like this Edwardian 6 bedroom house in rural Sussex also tugs at my heartstrings. I also thought I was completely over the lime washed walls craze but it’s soooo perfect in this home these folks get a pass. Available as a location home via Shoot Factory.

The Art Studio

Posted on Tue, 23 Apr 2024 by KiM

A quaint addition to the iconic Spray Farm Estate (Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula), The Art Studio purposefully and eloquently invites artistic inspiration from the first step inside. Architecturally referencing details of the original homestead, our interior choices were sympathetic to the surrounding landscape, minimalist in design, abundant in high quality craftsmanship and technically executed for practicality.
I may not be an artist per se but WHOA would working at my current government day job virtually and working on this blog from a space like this would be a dream come true. And I thought my greenhouse was a decent outdoor space to work from…

A modern oasis in Hollywood

Posted on Mon, 22 Apr 2024 by midcenturyjo

Contemporary architecture blends with mid-century aesthetics in the Hollywood Hills home of Osklo co-founders Arya and Michael Martin. Japanese aesthetics inform the design with a materials palette of herringbone oak floors, creamy limestone and knotty wood panelling, emulating the Japanese Hinoki wood’s look on the exterior. A perfect blend of Eastern design and Western ambience.
