Stately in a classically beautiful way. A new home in the countryside by Belgian architect Bernard De Clerck that you would never guess from the exterior nor the interior that it is a new home. And a home to treasure for centuries to come.

I absolutely loooove what Kate Abt did to this stunner of home in Washington, DC with Notting Hill vibes. It’s casual and has great flow, and with some features that appear to be original really taking centre stage (like those hardwood floors!). But I am mostly smitten with the kitchen. The cabinetry and the layout is so interesting and functional. Dreamy!!! (Photos: Stacy Zarin Goldberg)

I adore the simplicity, coziness and vintage vibes throughout this beautiful Kentish Town, London home designed by Marion Lichtig. Makes me want to hunt down a squishy pink second-hand sofa.

For your Sunday viewing pleasure, a 19th century castle located in Niort, France that was completely restored in 2015. It is 700 m² over 5 stories, has 9 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, an enclosed heated saltwater pool, 2 guest houses, garage, workshop, chapel, 6 hectares of land including a pond and direct access to a lake. What more could a person need?? Yours for €1,365,000 via Belles Demeures.

Inês Bordado Ferrão and Sónia Caldeira Ferrão of Lisbon-based landscape architecture firm Oficina dos Jardins create magical outdoor spaces that are so beautiful with their raw, unstructured approach. This is a random assortment from several of their projects. (Photos: Hugo Santos-Silva, Francisco Nogueira, Fernando Guerra, Yuki Sugiura)
