The older I get the more I find myself appreciated classic furniture, whether it be mid-century, art deco or more traditional. This home (of actress Jordana Brewster) in Los Angeles was designed by Chiara de Rege and most of the shopping for the items was done in the home of Jordana’s parents (you can read more about that in this Architectural Digest feature). Who clearly have fabulous taste. I love how the traditional pieces in their surroundings give off a bit of an edgy, youthful vibe.

A seamless connection between inside and outside rooms defines the Los Angeles home of landscape architect Scott Shrader. And what rooms! Oh yes the interiors are lovely but it is the lush green garden rooms and the strict neutral palette for the outdoor furnishings that have me gasping. Every picture is a treasure trove of inspiration. Love!

“The Hampton project was a total renovation of an existing 1920’s Californian Bungalow in a Heritage Overlay precinct. It included a second storey addition, total internal update of all rooms, inground pool and landscaping and garage.”

And when I say Hampton I mean the suburb of Hampton in Melbourne. The renovation was purposely for resale but that didn’t stop Michelle Hart of Bask Interiors from creating the dream family home with a Hamptons with a modern twist interior.

Amid the hills and forest of Ibiza lies a newly built white-washed villa that exudes comfort and is understatedly luxurious. Designed by South African La Grange Interiors, this modern finca is a magical escape for an urban couple with a neutral palette and an incredibly beautiful exterior. (Photos: Elsa Young)

From me: I managed to get all the cats in a photo without even trying. This is snack time at my house. And semi-feral Frankie loves weekends laying in bed, even if I’m there.
