I had to share this cozy little spot (LOL) in Biarritz, France because it is all about the details, and details that will knock your socks off! Elegant harlequin marble tile, beautifully detailed woodwork, stunning chandeliers, a marble bathroom to die for…it is exquisite all around. By Paris-based design couple Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier.

I think it’s the external space that I love the most in this Fitzroy North warehouse. Don’t get me wrong. I love (most) of the inside as well but it’s the walled garden effect, the exposed roof trusses, the creepers and pool that are tickling my fancy. I’d change one or two things inside this inner-city Melbourne home but that’s only due to a difference in taste. I’m sitting here staring at the computer screen figuring how to arrange my furniture and art in a home I’m stalking and even going to purchase. Tragic am I not? Link here while it lasts.

Please don’t ask me why it’s called the “Beach House” when it sits in west London. Perhaps it’s the bright, casual vibe. Lots of bleached timber, pops of colour, walls of glass to let in the light and capture the sea garden view. A family home that is casually stylish, at ease with its Edwardian era heritage and its modern extension. Evocative of being on holiday in the city. The reason doesn’t really matter. Beach House by Andy Martin Architects.

I adore this sweet apartment in Hungary designed by A+Z Design Studio. Herringbone floors (oh yaaaasssss!!!) and mid-century and randomly eclectic furnishings give this space a Parisian feel. Now if I could just reach through the photo of the desk and steal those legs….

Animals have been my passion for my entire life. After that came interior design. Blue Stallion Farm blends my 2 loves together into a magical place. Gany wrote to us about her farm and 3000 sq ft home in South Florida where she lives with her husband and 4 children, 6 dogs, 2 cats, 1 pig, 11 horses, 3 zebus, birds and chickens. This is every one of my dreams come true. The home is beautiful and bright and bohemian chic – pretty much one of the happiest places I have ever seen. Throw in a squishy pig face (see last photo) and I am totally dying of pure bliss. You can read the full story on Houzz.
