This house!!!! Those views!!!! Set on a private lagoon adjacent to a pristine stretch of northern California coastline, the Seadrift House lets nature in from all angles. The site was designed to make the most of lush mountain views and foster connectivity to the active and social lagoon-life. This is indoor-outdoor living at its finest. The landscape features deer resistant, drought tolerant and fire resistant plantings. Landscape design: Boxleaf Design, Architect: Butler Armsden Architects, Contractor: Gubbins Building Company, Landscape Contractor: New Leaf Gardens.

“Acre creates spaces that carefully combine monolithic, clean detailing with stylised wildness, placing equal emphasis on architecture and landscaping.”

Concrete and rambling vegetation. Hard and permanent being slowly softened and overtaken by the delicate and fleeting.

A vacation home for family and friends on San Juan Island north of Seattle. What a wonderful getaway and what beautiful interiors by Kylee Shintaffer. Think timeless with a warm neutral palette, add pops of watery blues and layer upon layer of natural textures.  A carefully curated blend of the new, the old and the wonderfully unique. Then there’s the view.

The other day I was talking to my twin about how much I love neutral, earthy spaces but with lots of dark pieces mixed in because drama is always necessary, and fabrics with lots of texture and warmth to them. I feel like L.A. designer Katie Hodges has really nailed what I had in mind with this home she designed. There is a uniqueness to each room which I can also appreciate.

Give me Haussmannian apartments any day of the week and I’ll be a happy camper. This architecture is incredibly inspiring and makes the rest of the decor shine. Like in this apartment designed by Agathe Convert in collaboration with Amélie Buvat. A mix of dark and light paint colours, and the prettiest pink I’ve ever seen on the kitchen cabinets. Lots of built-in storage solutions makes this space functional on top of being gorgeous.
