I stumbled upon a project by Australian interior designer Greg Natale that we appear to have never featured before, which is crazy since we have been obsessed with his work since for the past 10 years (or more If Jo knew him before we started this blog). Maybe it’s because we typically die over his typical glamourous, Hollywood Regency projects…and this one is far from that but I’m kind of dying over it just the same. Only Greg could make nautical/New England style this freaking fabulous. I want to be a guest in this guest house – and move right in! From its navy plaids and stripes to its walnut-hued timbers and leathers, this Queenslander has been furnished in classic New England style to create the effect of a lavish country estate. Themed accessories and artworks, such as equine photos and sculptures, and grouped accoutrements, like a series of armorial engravings, contribute to the full, layered feel, while pieces blend Western styling with Eastern exoticism. A band of navy grasscloth wallpaper runs through the house, providing an eye-catching decorative feature but also linking rooms that have been differently configured as a result of the angled roofs.

Love this room. Love. Willoughby House by Arent&Pyke.

This modern Spanish hacienda on the sands of San Jose del Cabo is certainly a golden retreat for the large family that lives there. I love the earthy luxury of this home. Natural materials, a weightiness to the structure but still that connection between inside and out. El Dorado by Chris Barrett Design.

Based in Atlanta, Kristin Jackson of the blog Hunted Interior creates beautiful spaces that really resonate with me. She is all about layering and using pattern and textures to add bold statements. It’s dramatic, energetic and whimsical and I adore every element in each room. 

PLEASE! Please I beg someone with bucket loads of money and bucket loads of good sense, buy this Palm Beach time capsule of a house with a view that is just ridiculous and restore it to its tiki bar, cruise ship, cocktails on the deck former glory. Don’t knock it down and build a McMansion on steroids. PLEASE? For sale here while it lasts. (The drone video is stunning.)
