We have known L.A. designer Mark Cutler for many years, from back when we first started this blog over 16 years ago. He reached out recently to say hi and share the news that he has partnered up with another designer, Nichole Schulze, and together as cutlerschulze they are creating magical spaces including this dreamy project. It is a modern home that they have added a mix of contemporary and antique elements to create a really dynamic and intriguing vibe that I can get behind.

“A canopy of refined details, an assortment of colors and materials, a contrast between mass and void, what we expect to achieve from space design is synergy.  Natural light is our main orchestrator as it defines the way we read and therefore feel about space, each one of our interventions is mindfully tailored according to its visual impact and the way it would interact with its environment. We’ve always been interested in experimenting with rhythmic patterns of geometric shapes as they add a unique signature to each one of our projects.”

OMG the walls! The beautiful carved and curved artisan wall panels. What would be just a stylish space has been elevated into a stunning space. ANM Residence in Beirut by design studio David/Nicholas.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Then again is it really work if it’s in this lovely space? Then I realised it’s not a commercial gallery at all but a private one for both large-scale entertaining and retreat. Gallery Barn by IF_DO.

A country home in Cornwall screams for quintessentially English décor with layers upon layers of colours, patterns, textures and architectural details in abundance. That is just what Mary Graham and Nicole Salvesen of Salvesen Graham did here and it created such an inviting and warm home that could stand the test of time for decades to come. (Photos: Simon Upton)
