Designers’ own

Dating back to 1871, Ellsworth rests serenely along a tranquil country road in northwestern Connecticut. Originally a sprawling 1,200-acre dairy farm, its current thirty-three-acre expanse of woodlands and fields preserves the narrative of its evolving past. Having admired the property for years, the renovation by Hendricks Churchill was carefully considered. Today, Heide Hendricks and Rafe Churchill call it home, honouring its history through ongoing enhancements, including maintaining hay fields and repurposing the dairy barn.

An eclectic 1892 home in Charleston

Posted on Fri, 5 Apr 2024 by KiM

Old world vibes, but make it a mix of worlds in this circa 1982 home in Charleston designed by Alecia Stevens. It’s eclectic from another time, with antiques that are European, Asian, British, Middle Eastern and everything in between. I really love this, and that every piece seems to tell a story and all together they tell quite a beautiful story. Photos: Kirk Robert.

The Net Loft of Trevone Bay

Posted on Thu, 14 Mar 2024 by KiM

The Net Loft of Trevone Bay, Cornwall, is an imagined sea captain’s home and our latest turnkey project. The building has a rich history as a former Net Loft, where local fishermen would mend their nets and store lobster pots. The interior design aims to narrate the story of this place and mirror the picturesque Cornish landscape surrounding it. Available to guests as part of Atlanta Trevone Bay.
Well if isn’t the freaking cutest little vacation spot you ever did see! I adore all of the different materials used throughout this home, and LOVE the idea of a tile “baseboard”. Designed by HÁM Interiors.

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.

The construction was not typical of the French Basque Country, it had traces of a southern French mansion, Provençal and art deco, so I decided to keep its DNA, respect its exterior appearance and recover all the materials: wood, hydraulic floors, iron radiators and blown glass. I bought old doors, all different, and we adapted them to make the openings.
