A Connecticut country house

Posted on Wed, 10 Aug 2022 by KiM

For a young family that live mainly in New York City, the goal was to create a year-round retreat for weekends and summers, a cozy hideaway that is just as comfortable to live in during the cold winter months as in the spring and summer. With a few poetic directives from the client–warm colors, English countryside, soft florals, comfortable, unfussy–we were off and running. Needing to have the house ready for spending the winter months of the pandemic at home, we relied heavily on get-able antiques and local artisans to meet our deadline.
So classic and casually elegant and timeless. I’m in love with the living room – the mustard yellow sofa with the large scale toile-like art above. Gorgeous. Designed by McGrath II. Photos: Read McKendree.

A country home in Belgium

Posted on Wed, 10 Aug 2022 by KiM

Stately in a classically beautiful way. A new home in the countryside by Belgian architect Bernard De Clerck that you would never guess from the exterior nor the interior that it is a new home. And a home to treasure for centuries to come.

Atlanta Mid Mod

Posted on Tue, 9 Aug 2022 by midcenturyjo

It’s all about colour and pattern and just a touch of maximalism (can one have a “touch” of maximalism?) in this fun mid-century family home in Atlanta, Georgia by Jessica Davis of Atelier Davis. No detail has been overlooked but of course, it’s the designer’s own home. Casually chic, fresh and fabulous.

I absolutely loooove what Kate Abt did to this stunner of home in Washington, DC with Notting Hill vibes. It’s casual and has great flow, and with some features that appear to be original really taking centre stage (like those hardwood floors!). But I am mostly smitten with the kitchen. The cabinetry and the layout is so interesting and functional. Dreamy!!! (Photos: Stacy Zarin Goldberg)
