Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 29 Aug 2020 by midcenturyjo

It’s like I say week after week. If you have to drag yourself into work on a Saturday it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Telleish by Triibe.

It’s all about sophisticated contemporary living but remembering the building’s Edwardian past. Think textures and layers, white walls meeting sissal floors, zellige tiles, stone and accents of royal blue. Clifton Gardens by Studio Gorman.

A light filled Soho Loft

Posted on Fri, 28 Aug 2020 by midcenturyjo

I started the week with a Hamptons beach shack getaway by Marie-Christine Design. I’m going to finish it with another of her designs. What’s as iconic as a Hamptons vacation home? why a Soho loft of course! Lots of light flooding in through tall windows, white painted exposed brick and that dining room. Swoon!

 

 

An unconventional Colonial in New Jersey

Posted on Thu, 27 Aug 2020 by KiM

The family friendly, dynamic and spirited vibe of this home is not quite what you’d expect when the exterior is a conventional Colonial home. I LOVE the unexpected!!!  When the homeowners moved into this 1920’s center hall colonial in Essex Fells, New Jersey, they envisioned a comfortable, livable home where family and friends can kick off their shoes and unwind. The brief: Repurposed rooms, reinvented family heirlooms and a riot of color and pattern equal an unfussy environment that embraces the craziness of life with three young children. Perfectly Imperfect. Designed by Toledo Geller.

Maximalism by Sig Bergamin

Brazilian designer Sig Bergamin is taking maximalism to a place where colour is IN YOUR FACE and art is KEY and patterns are BOLD and abundant. This cottage he designed has an energy that is inimitable.
