Nestled in the tranquil Mt. Baker National Forest, Lisa Staton‘s A-frame cabin, built in the late 1970s, has undergone a complete renovation. The space now features reclaimed oak floors replacing the original shag carpets and fresh white walls. The redesigned kitchen boasts black oak cabinets, marble countertops and an open layout, while furnishings blend New England elegance with mid-century vintage charm for a cozy, stylish retreat.

“This mid-century modern gem underwent a comprehensive remodel focusing on the office, principal bathroom, and laundry room. No stone was left unturned in creating this modern, functional space infused with whimsical touches and subtle nods to the 1970’s.”

Magnificent Florentine-style chateau (located in Angouleme, Nouvelle Aquitaine), which has been built on its 13th century medieval foundations and surrounded by a dry moat, is full of history and is full of beauty and charm. The current structure dates back to 1614. On the ground floor there is a large entrance hall decorated with a stunning trompe l’oeil, 2 dining rooms, 1 with a coffered ceiling, a beautiful contemporary equipped kitchen and a large bedroom with its en-suite bathroom. The first floor offers 6 large bedrooms (1 currently used as an office) and 4 bathrooms, providing ample space for the owners to accommodate family and friends or to welcome guests in an enchanting setting. The vaulted cellars offer no less than 250m2. The 8.3 hectare of grounds include a park. The estate also features splendid outbuildings, including a large 200m2 reception hall ready for use, a workshop, a garage and a guest house to renovate, providing tremendous potential. The heated pool, enclosed by walls, and a gothic pigeon house, formerly used as a chapel with its altar, complete this unique property.
So much to love about this property. The history and presence of it, the surroundings, and that pool area is a exquisite! All of this for “only” €2,200,000. For sale via Prestige Property.

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. Greyleigh Gables, a wedding events space in rural New South Wales by Duet.

I had to share another beautiful home designed by Brittany Bromley. This Bridgehampton stunner is filled with personality and lots of layers and textures with some help from grasscloth wallpapers. With accents of blue in each space it makes it very cohesive and flows really well. Love this! Photos: Annie Schlechter.
