This traditional stone home in Bel-AIr, California is absolutely beautiful. Interior designer Kim Alexandriuk upped the glam factor, added in some touches that are a bit more unique and modern to counteract the more classic architecture. To be honest though, with an outdoor space like this you’ll find me outside!

This landscaping is everything landscaping should be. Considerate of the colour scheme of the home (purple/magenta in this case), a mix of wood and concrete to keep it from being too harsh, terraced to easily create zones, includes a water feature, integrated lighting…. We transformed this garden from a weed-covered dirt hill into a beautiful living space with the use of terracing. Our goal for any garden is to make it functional, and this design utilizes every inch of space with an outdoor office, a vegetable/cutting garden, a dining deck, fire pit, and barbecue with seating area. These clients like to entertain, and can open their kitchen doors to connect directly with the garden. Built in wood and concrete benches add sculptural interest and the concrete bench absorbs warmth when the fire feature is lit. By Growsgreen.

A trip would be SO welcomed right about now. And staying at a hotel this fabulous and quirky and so full of energy in a city as vivacious as Paris would be an incredible adventure (though it may have since closed?). Le Montana designed by the extraordinary Vincent Darre.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Ateliê Flávia Madeira, São Paulo by Felipe Hess.

Chic and masculine, moody and modern mixed with architectural details and the occasional antique. The perfect marriage between a pre-war New York apartment and a Parisian pied-a-terre.  Morningside Heights by Crystal Sinclair Designs.
