A castle near Monferrato, Italy

Posted on Sun, 22 Sep 2024 by KiM

13th century castle complex immersed in a park of approximately 29,000 m2 which boasts an ideal position for those who wish to be close to the airports and enjoy absolute privacy. The property, in fact, is located about an hour from the airports of Malpensa (Milan) and Caselle (Turin). The castle complex consists of two independent castles on the wing of a tower. One of the two castles, of approximately 900 m2, is completely renovated and used as a main residence. This castle boasts a complex layout of internal spaces, with living and reception areas, master and guest sleeping areas and service areas, as well as architectural details of absolute historical value. The interiors are richly decorated with seventeenth-century frescoes for approximately 670 m2. In the central part of the property stands an imposing, partially restored tower of approximately 260 m2. The second castle, adjacent to the Tower, together with the former stables, barn and shed and other dilapidated buildings, however, need to be restored and constitute a large surface area of ​​over 1500 m2.

Felin Cottage. The perfect Welsh cottage hideaway. Sleeping up to 8 guests, with two living spaces, log burner and roll top bath, Felin is a place to escape and make memories. A great family friendly cottage option, or perfect for a couples weekend escape. There are handmade box bunks for our little (and not so little) guests, and a wonderful courtyard garden to enjoy all year round.
This cottage is the freaking sweetest!!!! I love how rustic and basic and earthy it is. The perfect place to book for a getaway when you really want to getaway from city life. Book this gem here.

Refreshing a Washington Victorian row house

Posted on Fri, 20 Sep 2024 by KiM

A family-focused light renovation for our Downtown Washington DC clients. Our clients asked us to embark on a quick and light refresh of their quaint 2500 square feet Victorian Row house just a few blocks away. They asked for a refresh for their busy family to have a place that felt familiar whilst renovations were embarking on their larger family home.
What a pretty, neutral, and almost minimal home created by Moore House Design. Absolutely loving that canopy bed situation and the sweet bay window vignette in the living room (it’s very ‘Oda & King‘ – IYKYK, featuring a table of theirs). Photos: Zack Dezon.

Second nature – a penthouse in Tribeca

I had to share another new project by Sean Anderson, one that is a bit more sophisticated than his typical spaces but when you’re working with an expansive Tribeca apartment in New York I think it goes without saying that there’s an expectation to spice it up and make it classy. Contemporary but make it Sean Anderson moody. Photos: Haris Kenjar.
