This 10,000 square foot Beacon Hill project took three years to complete. Built in 1835, the five-bedroom Greek Revival townhouse had seen grander days. In 2001, a young Boston couple purchased the building from the Unitarian Church’s Beacon Press. Having been converted into a warren of cubicles, all five levels of the interior required gut renovations. The final outcome captured 19th-century European grandeur in a modern setting within Boston’s most historic neighborhood.
A bit more traditional than I typically gravitate towards but that lovely yellow kitchen, cheerful stairwell and so many gorgeous bathrooms left me smitten and I had to share this with you all. Designed by Heidi Pribell.

“After undertaking a complete refurbishment of this elegant mews home in West London, we created a calming yet eclectic backdrop with our signature layers of colour and pattern throughout.”

A fabulous renovation of a Notting Hill house by HÁM but it’s the kitchen that is calling me. I’ll be preparing a meal for family or friends you’ll be ensconced on that fabulous banquette with a cup of tea and the crumbs of a recently baked cake on your plate.

Light-filled and fabulous this Madrid apartment by Espejo & Goyanes celebrates the historic bones of the building but adds a refined contemporary sophistication. Natural wood tones combine with brighter than bright whites while golden metals and black accents punctuate the scheme.

We worked closely along side the client and architect Ptolemy Dean for two years on this historical renovation and extension project. A complete renovation of a 15th Century Manor House set in the most beautiful countryside was not without it’s challenges. There were only a few flat walls in the extension and natural materials were used throughout. The result was truly magnificent and a triumphant and happy conglomeration of many passionate people.
This is about as British as it gets and I am completely head over heels for this home. It is like a giant hug. So many layers and textures and extremely warm and inviting. Another project by the talented Sarah Vanrenen. (Read more about it here).

This contemporary apartment designed by Madrid-based Ines Benavides is bright, full of personality and has a healthy dose of eclecticism and uniqueness. That bathroom in particular is unlike anything I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen it all). What an absolutely fabulous addition to the space.
