Honky always produces awesome interiors. Like this one in South London. For this show home at Valentines Place SE1, Honky has created an interior scheme with an edgy, industrial feel that reflects the original building’s heritage as a flour mill and former bakery. Jewel coloured details, velvets and tactile fabric elements combine with gold accessories to create an elegant, contemporary apartment. (Previous posts on their work here).

Eclectic and timeless, with a mix of modern, bohemian and rustic. This is the absolutely beautiful home of Los Angeles based interior designer Katie Hodges. I am head over heels in love with her dining nook.

It’s a big call, dream kitchen, but the Arts and Crafts Kent Kitchen by London-based deVOL Kitchens is the stuff of my fantasies made real. From the shaker-style, dark blue cabinets to the white stone countertops, from the warm woods on the floor, table and island to the industrial lights, this wonderful family kitchen is now the inspiration for my own kitchen renovation in my 1860s home. Perfect, perfect, perfect… except my room is nowhere near as big… and I don’t have double height ceilings or walls of glorious windows but I do have a brick fireplace and a range, wooden floors and a big imagination.

A bit rustic, a bit country, a bit contemporary and a bit chic. Fox Design Studio mixing things up once again in this South Langley, B.C. renovation. Check out the before and afters!

A couple of years ago I featured the 1850’s cottage of Brooklyn design studio Workstead (I am obsessed with their lighting). It seems they have put this adorable dwelling on the market and the listing broker sent us a link. This would be my dream summer getaway.
Elegantly simple, this 1850s eyebrow colonial in Gallatin, with private river frontage on the Roeliff Jansen Kill, is truly unique. Wake up to a river view from the master bedroom and then fish, kayak, swim or canoe on the Class A trout stream right on your property. Wonderful details abound throughout this 19th Century farmhand’s cottage, such as original wide plank floors, custom light fixtures, and a sunny deck right off the dining room. Mature trees, perennial plantings and a large lawn surround the house, providing both privacy and a feeling of openness. The cottage is an ideal retreat from city life, yet is close to many charming Hudson Valley towns. Conveniently located 2 hours from NYC, 5 minutes from the Taconic, and less than 25 minutes to Hudson, Millerton & Rhinebeck.
