I had to share another project by CJH Studio because as much as I love some colour and pattern and stuff, this is absolutely beautiful with the exact opposite vibes. This one is a bit less modern than the last project I shared, with a bit more warmth and some added old world charm. I will admit that for more years that I can even remember, I have wanted a big squishy sofa draped in an oversized linen sheet. My dream! Photos: Jimmy Logan.

Atelier Davis, led by Jessica Davis, is a full-service design studio known for blending original charm with modern ease. In this 1980s New Hampshire lakehouse, the team embraced the home’s nostalgic character, especially its knotty pine walls, while gently updating the space. With fresh colors, relaxed furnishings and a light touch the design strikes a balance between rustic warmth and contemporary comfort.

Country cottage renewal

Posted on Tue, 22 Jul 2025 by midcenturyjo

Nestled in tranquil woodland this Henley cottage has been sensitively reimagined and restored by Vaughan to honour its heritage while embracing modern comfort. Inspired by the surrounding British countryside, the interiors celebrate original features, painstakingly preserved and reimagined with a light, playful touch. Natural materials and a soft palette enhance the cottage’s warmth and charm, creating a timeless yet evolving home. Though thoroughly updated, it remains deeply rooted in its setting, a peaceful retreat for both the rhythm of daily life and the quiet of the weekend

This small holiday home, and retreat from busy city life, is all about a sense of peacefulness, very little simulation and allows for complete relaxation. I don’t know that I could live like this as a main residence but for weekends this is perfection. Minimal, soft, an emphasis on materiality, thoughtful and deliberate. Designed by CJH Studio.

A villa in Tuscany

I don’t think I have ever wanted a portfolio to have more photos than this absolute gem of a project by designer Martin Hulbert. Maybe I need to retire to Tuscany. Photos: Mark Bolton.
