The Net Loft of Trevone Bay

Posted on Thu, 14 Mar 2024 by KiM

The Net Loft of Trevone Bay, Cornwall, is an imagined sea captain’s home and our latest turnkey project. The building has a rich history as a former Net Loft, where local fishermen would mend their nets and store lobster pots. The interior design aims to narrate the story of this place and mirror the picturesque Cornish landscape surrounding it. Available to guests as part of Atlanta Trevone Bay.
Well if this isn’t the freaking cutest little vacation spot you ever did see! I adore all of the different materials used throughout this home, and LOVE the idea of a tile “baseboard”. Designed by HÁM Interiors.

Elegant bohemian

Posted on Tue, 12 Mar 2024 by KiM

My love of eclectic interiors, where old meets older and newer in an unconventional way, never waivers. (As I sit here at my desk and look to my left, there’s a reproduction 1946 George Nelson freeform sofa with 1800’s art and a 2010 Flos Aim pendant hanging over it). The Saint Paul, Minnesota home of designer Jacqueline Fortier is as eclectic as they come, in an elegant bohemian, Parisian apartment sort of way and I think it’s absolutely stunning.

Some fabulously bold Gucci wallpaper, black and white tile and a leopard print rug greets you as soon as you walk in this Greenwich Village apartment designed by Spencer Alton and Alex Bechara of Alton Bechara. A TV lounge swathed in red, pink velvet sofas, mint green treillage in the loggia, a bold floral wallpaper covered bedroom….it is over the top and full-on drama and really REALLY fun.

Located in the province of Frosinone in a very panoramic position at the border of a medieval hamlet is this 14th-century medieval stone monastery. The property has a surface area of about 1,000 sqm, is part restored and is mainly used as a venue for events, but with some further restoration work, the whole structure could be converted into a boutique hotel with 10+ bedrooms (and 8 bathrooms). The building has been part restored and still boasts all the typical features and characteristics normally found in medieval religious properties such as original terracotta floors, wooden beams, coffered ceilings, stone fireplaces. The finishes have been very carefully preserved and, where needed, original material has been used as a replacement. The large halls are covered with beautiful coffered ceilings, while the floors are tiled with terracotta bricks, also original. The monastery boasts a beautiful internal cloister, nowadays decorated with an Italian garden (150 sqm) and surrounded by a beautiful covered loggia with vaulted ceilings.
The only event I can envision happening here is Kim living happily ever after! What a spectacular property! For sale via Immobiliare Italiano for €1,380,000.

This former bicycle workshop is now a hybrid between a home and a multidisciplinary creative design space in Madrid de los Austrias, a modern space with an industrial character but with nuances.
And this reminds me of my dream about 20 years ago of living in an industrial loft. Then I realized this city has nothing of the sort and I moved on. But I’d happily live in something like this in the city as long as I had a home in the country for weekends. Designed by La Californie. Photos: Pablo Zamora.
