This majestic villa is conveniently located on the sought after Liguria’s east coast, between La Spezia and the colourful Cinque Terre. Moreover, the property also sits very few kilometers from Tuscany and the famous Versilia coast, in a strategic position from where to enjoy both the sea and the countryside, with its vineyards and local traditions. The property was commissioned to an English architect by a descendant of one of the most powerful families in Italy and was built at the end of the 19th century. Its current owners carried out an extensive restoration in 1970. The property spreads over two levels at the front and four at the back. A landing with a double flight of stairs leads to the cellars and the lower level of the garden. Another staircase connects the villa to a spacious terrace overlooking the renewed Bocca di Magra harbour, the Versilia Coast and the Apuan Alps. Adjacent to the villa, a fully glazed building provides shelter during the winter season for an enchanting lemon house.
I really have no words for this spectacular home (of 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms) except one must feel so regal living amongst all that marble. With that view. For sale (for undisclosed amount) via Knight Frank.

Similar to the last project by Yond Interiors I shared, this one also features lots of beautiful muted colours with a bit of a darkness that creates such a mood. There is again a warmth that is really wonderful and this takes “modern colonial” to a place that I think is really timeless and versatile and speaks to me on so many levels. Photos: Erin Little

What was once a boxy, cramped 1920s lakehouse located among Ohio’s Portage Lakes, is now a swanky residence for a retired “single, older gentleman” who is I betcha going to find himself an equally swanky partner now that he has these cool digs! A bit mad men and a bit roaring ’20s is where Tanner Sammons and Jennifer Laouari of Morgan Madison Design took this home and it is possibly one of the classiest lakehouses I’ve ever seen.

Perched on the shores of Lake Superior, Yond Cottage is an expression of everything our studio loves. Influenced by nature and designed to be a launchpoint for adventures, Yond Cottage was made for you. Yond Cottage is available for short term rental.
Located in scenic Schroeder, MN, this is cottage living with the coziest, coolest vibes. I love all the warm and muted colours and abundance of textures and materials. Designed by Yond Interiors. Architect: ACDC Studio. Photos: Erin Little.

“I want no white walls.” With those five words, Kati Curtis Design had its Tudor home interior design directive and began the process of gathering ideas + inspiration. Since we’re known as the go-to interior designers for color and pattern, those words also served as confirmation that we and our client were perfectly in synch. With that, a happy collaboration took off in this “Millennial Gothic” home, a modern take on the house’s original Tudor interior design style.
There is a lot going on in this home and I know now everyone could live with so much going on but I had to share for those that dream of having this much colour and pattern (and glossy finishes) in their lives. Life’s too short to not go for it, right?
