I love seeing into a designer’s own home. The spaces shine with creativity and love. Love of vintage and antique, light and views, pattern and colour. Beautiful yet liveable, profoundly personal and functional. Sea View Project, the San Francisco home of Caitlin Flemming.

I discovered Castello di Vicarello in a recent hunt for a castle to share today and realized Jo featured it back in 2012 but this restored relic is so dreamy I wanted to share it again. Carlo and Aurora Baccheschi Berti restored this 12th century castle in Maremma, a region of Tuscany, over many years (the castle’s main wings took 12 years alone to restore) and now their 3 sons run it as a guest house consisting of 9 suites. It is stunning inside and out and I love that the decor is casual and inviting. What an extraordinary vacation spot this would be.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Andersen & Maillard Bakery by Danielle Siggerud Architects.

Designed as a retreat away from city life, this lakeside Cape Cod-style home in Southbury, Connecticut stands in perfect harmony amidst the woods with an inimitable sense of serenity. Throughout, the home is immersed in a palette of earthy hues reminiscent of the landscape, shades of pebble grey and greens against a deep wood tone. The textile program creates continuity that flows and weaves each individual space together, gently.

Why spend money traveling to Europe when you could immerse yourself in those old-world vibes every day at home? Anna Booth created a charming, antique filled home for her clients out of a basic, modern farmhouse–style structure that makes it feel like the structure has been around 200 years.
