A former rectory in Ilminster, England

Posted on Sun, 5 Nov 2023 by KiM

I just can’t get enough or period homes. Especially when they involve a conversion. This is a Grade II listed 19th century former rectory and seminary constructed of mellow hamstone construction under a clay tiled roof. The chapel was converted into a dining room, and includes 5 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, a huge lots of period details like million windows, window seats, original working local stone fireplaces, stair turret with turned newels and spindles, gothic leaded windows and a conical roof with bell tower. The icing on the cake is a fireplace in the kitchen and a magical view of St Michael’s Church tower. And it’s on 2.4 acres and includes a tennis court. I’m sold. Can be yours for £1,075,000 via Jackson-Stops.

Often when you see a designer creating a space for an art collector it gives off very “museum” vibes but not in this newly renovated Paris apartment. Hauvette & Madani designed this space to showcase the art with many unique and sculptural pieces of furniture and brought back the Haussmannian features that add so much charm. The result is a really welcoming, cozy and has a really playful energy. I am in love with the retro-vibing pink and green kitchen. Photos: François Coquerel

More is more in this British apartment

I’m mostly posting this home for that reading nook (painted in Apple Smiles by Paint & Paper Library). I would spend all winter curled up in there with a candle, a magazine and a cup of tea. Designed by Rosanna Bossom. Photos: Mike Garlick.

This Greenpoint, Brooklyn home is a little bit modern but is definitively giving allllllll the quaint vintage vibes at the same time with its yellow kitchen (Farrow & Ball’s India Yellow), pink powder room, retro tiles, the sweetest bed nook and other charming touches. A gorgeous home designed by Space Exploration. Photos: Nicole Franzen; Styling: Katja Greeff.
