I was looking for info on this home I found in the portfolio of designer Henri Fitzwilliam-Lay and discovered this feature in House & Garden that provides many more photos and details…like the fact that this is Henri’s own home – a brick and stone mansion, with a belvedere tower, Dutch gables and large stone-mullioned windows located in Shropshire and built in 1856, then rebuilt after a fire in 1878. The home is exquisite and has so much personality. I am in love. (Jo featured another one of her projects a few months back)

Lots of different shades of blue but done in a restrained way by Notting Hill based design firm Barlow & Barlow. This 1700 sq ft home is inviting and along with the pretty colours of blue (and a bit of green and pink) the patterns add whimsy. And the kitchen is a dream, complete with banquette dining area and windowed pantry!

Magnificent 19th century castle located in the heart of the charming village of Habas, close to all amenities and 45 minutes from the beaches of Hossegor or Biarritz. It develops its 1050sq.m of living space (15 rooms, 15 bedrooms) on 3 levels with charm and elegance. It is surrounded by a classified park of nearly one hectare, and benefits from outbuildings for an area of ​​approximately 1250 sq.m including a garage space that can accommodate 6 vehicles. A swimming pool and a basin complete this exceptional property.
I’m pretty much sold on the exterior alone, and if you can see past the awful colours and bland furnishings this place has some really pretty architectural features. For sale via Sotheby’s.

Honoring a treasured past while incorporating the colorful decades of the Haight-Ashbury. This San Francisco home designed by Nicole Hollis is a colourful modern masterpiece with some Moroccan flair. It’s spectacular! I just noticed it has been recently featured on Architectural Digest with more juciy photos and details/sources.

Vibrant, courageous, curated, elegant, bold, whimsical… the former Atlanta home of interior designer Danielle Rollins was about as unique as they come. Her attention to detail and ability to blend so many colours and patterns and styles….it’s incredible and takes soooo much talent.
