I love the warm, relaxed and uplifting feels this weekend home in Southampton exudes. Without being tongue in cheek beachy, the decor by designer Meg Braff was kept light with tropical pastels and such beautiful patterns throughout.

The glamour Queen

Posted on Thu, 13 Jan 2022 by midcenturyjo

No one does everyday glamour(is that an oxymoron?) quite like Australia’s Simone Haag. She makes it look easy. No cookie cutter rooms here. Just lots of inspiration for elevating the everyday.

The Attic

Elegant and refined high up on the roof tops in Madrid’s Salamanca area. If this is interior designer Isabel López-Quesada‘s idea of living in an attic then who am I to complain?

An Alessandra Branca roundup

Posted on Wed, 12 Jan 2022 by KiM

Chicago based interior designer Alessandra Branca continues to work her design magic year after year and since it’s been a while since we shared some of her work I thought I’d feature a roundup of some of my favourites we haven’t shared before. Eye candy for your viewing pleasure.

Hunting Box Sherston

I am in love with this home designed by Caroline Holdaway. Traditional with colour and pattern makes it so warm and inviting. (Photos: Simon Brown)

This property originally formed part of a 16thC coaching inn. It is a flat fronted stone village house with cross mullion windows on the edge of the Cotswolds. The sole purpose of this gloriously neat and perfectly proportioned house was to stand as a hunting box for my clients. We removed a dividing wall downstairs opening up an airy space for socializing yet retaining it’s cosy appeal for intimate fireside evenings. Reclaimed timber floors and show stopping Raku fired floor tiles give charm in bucket loads to the kitchen and breakfast room. We purchased some perfectly figured reclaimed elm from which we crafted the kitchen and found some papier mache refracted glass cinema lights that illuminate the kitchen work surfaces. Carefully sourced antiques and client art work made this property a delight to work on.
