You may not have a lot of space but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a fabulous outdoor entertaing area and a lush but low maintenance garden. Coogee garden by Sydney-based Stone Lotus Landscapes.

Deepest green

Posted on Tue, 25 Jan 2022 by midcenturyjo

There may not be many pictures but it’s just enough to excite and inspire. That green is so deep and alluring, the rooms so elegant, the kitchen a dream. And it’s in the 10th arrondissement of Paris! By Fabrizio Casiraghi.

A remodeled Iowa City home

Posted on Mon, 24 Jan 2022 by KiM

I am such a huge fan of Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, as you may have come to realize over the years. Her team’s ability to take homes with history, filled with original details, and sympathetically remodel them to make them functional for today’s lifestyle is always impeccable and so perfectly executed. This home in Iowa City takes you back in time yet is contemporary and vivacious. I could not love this more. (Lead designer: Chelsie Lee; Architect: CWB Architects; Photos: Christopher Sturman)

A renovated farm in Buckinghamshire

Posted on Mon, 24 Jan 2022 by KiM

I could totally get behind barn living if it looked like this. Hubert Zandberg tackled the design of this contemporary barn renovation in Buckinghamshire and the bucolic setting and details of the architecture really add character and make this home so welcoming and relaxed.

Ballinlough Castle

Posted on Sun, 23 Jan 2022 by KiM

I am convinced that if I were ever to visit a castle, a home with details this exquisite that I would probably pass right out. This is truly incredible. Ballinlough Castle, County Westmeath, Ireland has been home to the Nugent family for over 400 years. The 17th century Georgian castle was sensitively refreshed by Todhunter Earle Interiors when the current occupants, a young family, took over the house. The bedrooms have been brightened with large scale wallpapers and fabrics, beds re-dressed and new bathrooms installed. The essence of the traditional Irish castle has been retained, whilst updating the house for modern living.
