Shape, texture, and materiality converge within the walls of this warm and inviting home that places artistry and comfort on a pedestal. 
Designed by Heidi Woodman Interiors, this home is so perfect in so many ways and has so much to offer that I think it would be a hit for the masses. The architecture has both modern and traditional elements, the colour palette is neutral and earthy with just the right amount of black accents, the furnishings all look like you could just sink into them and have a nap, there’s just a bit of pattern that is on the traditional side which is a pretty contrast to some of the modern art, textures that look incredibly cozy….

I’m back with another Inigo beauty, again no castle this week because I spent the entire day yesterday shopping for plants, planting the plants and panicking about all things I need to do for an upcoming photoshoot of my house for a blog that is older (and way more “big time”) than this one. Eeeeeekkkkkkk!!!!
This elegant, wisteria-covered mid-16th century house sits in the centre of the pretty town of Colyton, close to south Devon’s beautiful coastline. Unfolding over 4,000 sq ft and surrounded by walled gardens, the Grade II*-listed Elizabethan house has been restored and decorated by the current owners (interiors writer Ros Byam Shaw). Unique original features have been preserved, such as oak panelling dating to c.1600, leaded windows, and flagstone floors. Contemporary interventions are timeless, including Colefax and Fowler wallpaper, and various Farrow and Ball colours. Its garden is complete with a swimming pool, a summer house, a small orchard stocked with mulberry, cherries and apples, and raised vegetable patches. A quiet and private oasis, the garden has views across the town, over hills and mature trees, and feels remarkably rural given its central location.

We brought a 1970s lakeside cottage back to life with a complete gut remodel, restoring the vintage cabin feel and layering with vintage and luxury finishes to create a boutique short term rental experience for guests to enjoy. We were going for a laid-back luxury vibe bringing in lots of our favorite vintage pieces collected over time. We used handmade tile, natural stone, and textiles in rich, earthy colors and organic textures. We let the outside in with new patio doors and windows throughout. While the main room was painted with a warm white, we dialed up the mood in the bedrooms and bathrooms with deep, earthy tones. 
If I stumbled upon this cool cottage on Airbnb I’d be booking it on the spot. Not your typical cottage vibes and definitely amping up the sophistication. Designed by Meet West Studio.

Historically the two cottages were separate entities however they were usually occupied together. The accommodation in each was compromised; bedrooms accessed through bedrooms, cramped kitchens and no space where the occupants could gather. The scheme joined the cottages with an extension which freed up the floorplan and consolidated the spaces and created a large convivial dine in kitchen. The form of the extension was designed to reference the original pitched roofs of the cottages whilst the materials chosen were to contrast those of the existing cottages. The intention was that new and old elements were easily and proudly distinguishable. Elsewhere particular attention was made to preserve the integrity and character of the original cottages making interventions when only necessary. The emphasis for the interior decoration was that it should feel layered and lived in.
I am always a fan of a mix of modern and traditional so this renovation is a win for me, particularly if it means getting a large, functional kitchen in the end. Designed by Anna Haines; Architect: Kathryn Manning of Adaptation Architecture; Photos: Rachael Smith.

An enchanting mid-century modern home, where nostalgia meets innovation in a symphony of design. Throughout this home, the interplay of vintage and modern is not just a juxtaposition, but a conversation. Inspired by a passion for vintage furniture and art, every corner of this space echoes with stories of the past, intertwining seamlessly with the present. The color palette, a canvas of timeless neutrals, sets the stage for understated elegance. Hints of patina-flecked brass and the warmth of oak wood have been thoughtfully infused to embrace the comforting allure of a well-loved abode. The fusion of mid-century modern aesthetics, art deco grandeur, and the free-spirited bohemian vibe culminates in an eclectic marvel that is uniquely individual. The result is a space that is vibrant, cozy, and endlessly intriguing.
Yes yes YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I really love this home and how every element is like a work of art. Montana Labelle is like the Canadian Kelly Wearstler and I cannot get enough.
