Narborough Hall, an ancient, wisteria-covered, Grade II*-listed 16th century country house, is set in the valley of the River Nar in Norfolk and surrounded by 79 acres of its own parkland, woodland and lakes. The hall has been the subject of a careful restoration by the current owners, who have stripped it back to celebrate its scale and its countless original features. Decorative period details are abundant throughout, from 18th-century fireplaces to Rococo ceilings and linenfold panelling. Now complete with a swimming pool, a barn, two separate annexes, a floristry studio and numerous other outbuildings.
This home is spectacular! It shows in the price (£4,500,000) but worth every penny. I’d get rid of some of the boring white walls and use some “historical” paint colours and do something else with those kitchen walls but otherwise this is spot on. For sale via Inigo.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if if it’s somewhere stylish. Casa di Stories to Gather, a bijou event space by The Make Haus.

I had to share another project by Julia Chasman, because this one in Pasadena is giving me all the cheerful vibes. The kind that wants to have gatherings and hang out around that island while friends help with the chopping. Others spill into the dining nook and share drinks and a few chuckles. Then when the delicious meal is ready everyone heads into the dining room to ‘tuck in’. Photos: Jenna Peffley.

Classic, yet unique and unexpected. Livable. Legit antiques, cool vintage, modern art, good bones, texture and materials, custom and found….
Next level sophistication and spaces for every possible need, including relaxing, drinking, dining, chilling, sleeping, lounging, smoking, cleaning…. I am obsessed with the stick figure art grouping in the living room (by Jean-Marc Louis). Pacific Heights I by Lisa Hilderbrand. Photos: John Merkl.
