A rural idyll in Normandie

Posted on Mon, 24 May 2021 by midcenturyjo

bucolic /bjuːˈkɒlɪk/ adjective: relating to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country life.

Let’s run away to this rural idyll. A meandering of rooms, a clash of wallpaper and a Togo sofa hiding from the more traditional furnishings. I’m in love. A private house in Normandie by Tristan Auer.

A restored warehouse in The Hague

Posted on Sun, 23 May 2021 by KiM

Welcome to the jaw-droppingly gorgeous home in The Hague of internationally sought-after contemporary Spanish painter Lita Cabellut. What was a former warehouse/antique store in the 18th century is now an exquisite example of a restore project that was done soooooo right. I am blown away at the beauty of every room. And make sure you pay attention to the kitchen sink! (translated from the article: The old marble basin comes from royal gardens and was originally used to clean and wash the roses with which the palace bouquets would later be made).

La Belle Vue

La Belle Vue is a B&B that is a little slice of absolute heaven in the small village of Neffiés in southwestern France. Built in 1857, Swedish couple Yvonne and Micke purchased the home which had so many beautiful details intact – old windows, stucco, tall doors, fireplaces, handmade tiles in fantastic patterns and a view to die for, and transformed it into a glorious getaway.

Weekend getaway lodges in Texas

Posted on Fri, 21 May 2021 by KiM

Paloma Ranch consists of twin hunting lodges for a pair of brothers on a seventeen-thousand-acre spread in the south of Texas. (For those who find taxidermy offensive, please skip this post). These photos are from each lodge, designed by Emily Seiders (married to another of the brothers). A comfortable + casual, bohemian + southwestern, modern + organic mélange that doesn’t distract from the beauty of the landscape.
