Pinch me. Is it real? A 300-year-old house in Connecticut lovingly brought to life by New York-based interior designer Ryan Lawson. This is no gut demo and stuff in everything new. No this is the careful reworking of the spaces so modern conveniences are provided but layers of the owner’s life and the history of the house shine through.

“Expressing a desire to retain the traditional and formal layout of this double-fronted house, the client’s brief was to create a home that championed the existing traditional elements while creating a vibrant and personality-filled home for a young and busy family. With areas for family living and entertaining spaces for the adults, the home affords both practicality and versatility.”

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. JPL Studio by Jesse Parris-Lamb.

Because I was so enthralled with that spa setup in my last post I went poking around the portfolio of Montréal landscape architecture firm Friche Atelier and found several more beautiful outdoor spaces they have designed and wanted to share them as well. We Canadians may have short summers but we take advantage of every second of the decent weather and having spaces this thoughtfully designed is sooo worth it. Photos: Caroline Thibault
