A preserved and renovated 1920s Tudor

There’s something so charming, stately and old-world about Tudor homes that I just can’t get enough. This stunner in Dallas was carefully restored and updated and has such incredible features inside and out. I am in love with every single detail. Hats off to Sees Design and Maestri Studio for really doing this wonderful home justice. Photos: Studio-Woodstock & Jenifer McNeil Baker.

Bettencourt Lodge

Posted on Tue, 23 May 2023 by KiM

I have been following Matthew and Rick Bettencourt of Bettencourt Manor on IG for some time now and have been in love with their style – it’s earthy, rustic, vintage, geometric, contemporary….a little of everything rolled into this most wonderful package. They bought a 1400 sq ft log cabin in the Kawarthas (Omemee, On.) as an all-season escape from city life and the 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Bettencourt Lodge is now available on Airbnb for an escape of your own! It is an absolutely stunning getaway in both summer and winter.

An interior inspired by the exterior

Taking advantage of Southern California’s ideal weather and lush gardens by bringing those vibes inside in this redesigned home by Peter Dunham. There’s a sense of elegance but casual at the same time. And I am smitten with the little potting shed space that was created under the poolhouse stairs. Photos: Sam Frost. Architect: Forest Studio.
