Black and white, a surprise of old gold timber linings, enough retro classics to be cool not ostentatious, enveloping textures and the promise of a good surf break. Not your usual Hamptons holiday getaway and I for one am glad! Montauk Beach House by Space Exploration.

bijou– noun – something small and delicately worked,  a trinket.

A cleverly crafted but tiny 11 m² seasonal rental in Paris’ 10th arrondissement. Because not all of us can, need or aspire to live in a mansion all the time. Marie-Joséphine by Batiik Studio.

Mid century vibes with statement furniture and art in this East End Avenue apartment designed by Amy Lau. A perfect city oasis for a pair of art collectors to showcase their vast collection and to emphasize and enhance the natural beauty of the space through site-specific installations that highlight the unique features of each room.

We lost our sweet greyhound boy, Rocky in May and soon after, adopted this boy West Wise. West is another recently retired racing, barely-three-year-old, greyhound.  I almost didn’t see West when I turned on the light to go to bed one night.  Camouflage almost worked!

Built in 1830 in the Mexican town of Xucu, Yucatán, this somewhat derelict structure became abandoned in the 1970s and was brought back to life by French designer Emmanuel Picault. Becoming one with the surrounded landscape, it has a story to tell and a new lifetime of memories to make. Via MilK Decoration, photos by Michael DePasquale + Martina Maffini
