With so many oh so stylish apartments out there drowning in a sea of beige or is that off-white or white on white on white it’s refreshing to see an apartment with rich pops of colour. Deepest malachite green to washes of blue to textured grey. Upper East Side Apartment by Samuel Amoia.

Sharing another period home that I have fallen in love with thanks to Shoot Factory. This Grade II listed property was built around 1700. It includes a 5 bedroom restored and renovated stone home with outbuildings including a restored barn and man cave. The exterior has all the charm you could want in an old English home, while the interior has beautiful original details with some modern touches. (Photographer: Richard Oxford)

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it better be somewhere stylish. Atelier Saman Amel (a tailor) in Stockholm by Halleroed.

Sean Anderson always makes my heart skip a beat. His ability to create such dynamic spaces with a neutral colour palette, lots of textures like linen and raw wood and mixing old and new furnishings is so impressive. This Tennessee home is everything. (Architect: David Anderson, Photographer: Rett Peek)

It takes a lot to wow me these days (a result of having an interior design blog for over 14 years?). I’ve come to realize wowing me doesn’t necessarily take much effort. It doesn’t have to be some spectacular space that someone spent a small fortune decorating. It could be something rather simple such as the photo above. A large porcelain sink in front of a beautiful window. I don’t quite understand the placement of this sink, and that’s also why I love it so much. I like design to throw me a curve ball every now and then. Thank you to New York based design firm Studio Sofield for managing to WOW me this time.
