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 stylish. Studio space of Cristina Celestino in the Città Studi district of Milan.

The proposed project, a classic North Eastern, shingle and clapboard “Big Chill” house set just about 50 feet from Long Island Sound had beautiful, rambling proportions and great flow. It had been roughly 20 years since they’d last renovated. It was time to refresh and reimagine life at home with classic New England comfort and style. We had 23 rooms in total to redo without interrupting the couple’s seasonal use of their summer retreat. This included light-to-full makeovers of six bathrooms, the complete redecoration of all main living spaces, six bedrooms, the total renovation of the kitchen, butler’s pantry and breakfast room, as well as all conduit spaces and a TV/Rec room with billiard table. 
TOM Interior Design Studio (made up of Tommy Smythe, Lindsay Mens Craig, Kate Stuart) created a wonderful blue and white vision of beachy wonderfulness in this home that exudes a classic/traditional vibe that keeps it from being too casual. It is also timeless and I imagine the owners will be quite happy with it another 20 years from now. (Photos: Virginia MacDonald)

A 300 year old barn is transformed into a weekend retreat that is modern, minimal and really REALLY cool. I’m dreamy about this kind of rustic/modern/industrial/loft space for as long as I can remember. By Studio Todd Raymond. (Photos: Adrian Gaut)

“This Haussmannian apartment houses a clever mix of strong contemporary pieces, nuanced by furniture with vintage accents. The bold colour choices, the onyx of the worktops, the marbled resin of the floor and the curved red wall of the kitchen shake up this traditional Parisian interior.”

“Having three children means we’re never really on vacation, but every time I enter this house I pinch myself.”

With its celebration of colour, pattern and texture, with its bold personality and light-filled rooms this holiday house in Florida is indeed a happy place. No wonder the owner is pinching herself! Ponte Vedra Beach by Angie Hranowsky.
