Yond Cottage

Posted on Tue, 16 Jan 2024 by KiM

Perched on the shores of Lake Superior, Yond Cottage is an expression of everything our studio loves. Influenced by nature and designed to be a launchpoint for adventures, Yond Cottage was made for you. Yond Cottage is available for short term rental.
Located in scenic Schroeder, MN, this is cottage living with the coziest, coolest vibes. I love all the warm and muted colours and abundance of textures and materials. Designed by Yond Interiors. Architect: ACDC Studio. Photos: Erin Little.

They say it’s all about location, location, location but a cool house helps too. What I love about this gentle reworking of this waterfront cabin in Maine by Angie Hranowsky is just that … a gentle hand, a light touch. It’s rental which explains the lack of big ticket, rip it out and rebuild projects but I think it’s perfect. Mind you with a view like that I’d be happy to sit on a box 😛


Frances Merrill of Reath Design created magic in another jaw-dropping home and I could not love this more. It is full of colour and whimsy, an eclectic mix of styles (super feminine, diner-chic, granny vintage and some 50s retro) and patterns and textures that are drool-worthy. It’s our first week posting for 2024 and I’m already wondering what I can find this year that would top this. Photos: Laure Joliet

Balancing L.A. chic with New England charm

Posted on Thu, 7 Dec 2023 by KiM

Vintage and contemporary pieces mingle with fresh finishes in an elegant, relaxed, and eclectic abode designed for a young family of four in Los Angeles’s Mar Vista neighborhood. Interweaving subtle nods to the clients’ Vermont roots, the studio’s design direction for the project highlights the juxtaposition of raw, relaxed, and elegant materials, balancing L.A. chic with New England charm. Our renovation included a reinterpretation of paint and finishes throughout. Softly limewashed walls imbue subtle variations with a matte, velvety effect, laying the foundation of our redesign. We paired this with wide plank oak floors, cipollino tirreno marble countertops, a bespoke fireplace design, and a top-to-bottom kitchen overhaul. We curated a mix of French 1970s vintage, distinguished burlwood, woven wicker, cosy prints, humble plywood, plush mohair, and timeless walnut.  
A really fun and eclectic blend of styles designed by Stefani Stein. She really nailed the combination of contemporary and vintage and it comes together really cohesively. Why settle for just one style when you can mix it up and make it work? Photos: Sam Frost; Styling: Lisa Rowe.

The Victorian home in Larchmont, New York is just beaming with personality! Sooooo much colour and pattern and an energy that is truly unmatched. Also, it basically has 3 kitchens so I am head over heels in love with this home. Designed by Robin Henry Studio, photos by Eric Piasecki.
