1900s private mansion in the Art Nouveau style of approximately 500m² usable space, within a wooded and landscaped park of 1,200m² with swimming pool. Designed by the Lyonnais architect Ferdinand Barqui, the hotel is organized on 4 levels served by 1 majestic stone staircase surmounted by 1 glass roof. On the ground floor, living room, dining room, large professional kitchen and studio. On the 1st floor, 2 bedrooms including 1 large master suite as well as 1 Ballroom opening onto 1 winter garden lit by 1 Bow-Window. 1 large office completes this level. On the 2nd floor, 4 other bedrooms, 1 bathroom. The 3rd floor is converted into 2 studios under the slope as well as 1 workshop.
This home is absolutely magical from the outside in (I’d frankly have a hard enough time getting past that gorgeous art nouveau exterior). GORGEOUS. I wish there were more photos 🙁 For sale via Kretz for €2,350,000.

Lauren Nelson Design was hired to work in close coordination with the architect on finishes and furnishings for this gut renovation of a home in Tiburon that has been passed down among several generations.  The home was taken down to the studs and reimagined by opening up the kitchen and living spaces to allow for better flow, and by adding more rooms to accommodate the needs of this young family. The design aesthetic was driven by a love for rich colors, warm wood tones, soft textures, and a modern casual sensibility for this young family.
The earthy colours and wood in this home exudes such warmth and serenity. Also loooooove that creams rather than whites were used for walls and ceilings which speaks to me on so many levels since white is really not my thing and way too cold for my taste.

Simple, neutral, calm, serene, minimal. Easy on the eye, and easy to live with. A renovated home in Syosset, Long Island, NY designed by Elisa Baran. Photos: Jared Kuzia.

Another fabulous project by the ladies of Pierce & Ward. It is a maximalist’s dream home filled with fun shapes and lots of vintage art and adorable kitchen and bathrooms. And it is also goes to show what photographers will do during post-processing (to the extent that you think you’re looking at a different room).

On the wintery grey days that we first visited the house, we felt that it needed a big injection of colour and warmth. Previously all the walls were a bright white, which starkly contrasted with a green slate floor and oak woodwork. We loved the Arts & Crafts style, along with the storybook setting right on the banks of the estuary so our design developed this sense of nostalgia through the use of William Morris and Voysey wallpapers, heirloom textiles, and plenty of beautiful antiques.
So glad the homeowners are now rid of the white that this home clearly wasn’t in the mood for. Love all the beautiful colours and that yellow floral wallpaper is the prettiest! Designed by COAL Architecture & Interior Design.
