My love of all things dark. moody and full of texture and patina with lots of vintage will never ever waiver. And why my love of the style of designer Sean Anderson will also never waiver. When he goes dark he does it so incredibly well, and unlike any other designer I know. This home in Tennessee is packed with character and drama and I could stare at these beautiful spaces for hours.

This Tribeca loft designed by Jen Talbot has some serious style with every piece of furniture and lighting and art being sculptural in nature. A prefect example of how art isn’t always something you hang on your wall. Even your sofa or coffee table can be viewed as art. (Photos: Brian Wetzel)

Why stick to châteaus when there are also stunning hôtel particulier properties too! This 8 bedroom jaw-dropping beauty is for sale here. Oh the things I could do with this!!! In the heart of the Quartier Latin, Paris 5th, a few meters from Place Maubert. This exceptional house with charm and historical character of approximately 650 sq.m, built in 1610 around a patio under a glass ceiling (retractable), has a terrace with a breathtaking view of Notre Dame de Paris, a swimming pool and a gym with sauna, a wine cellar. It consists of four floors and a vaulted stone basement: a music room, a reception room, a library lounge with fireplace opening onto the terrace, a large dining kitchen, a service studio, eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, several dressing rooms and mezzanines. The six levels are served by an elevator.

Atlanta designer Margaret Kirkland is known for her classic, timeless, elegant interiors. One of her greatest pleasures as a designer is to go hunting in a client’s storage for old treasures that can be repurposed to give them new life, while also bringing the client’s personality directly into the space. The results are sophisticated refuges that imbue their modern comforts with a subtle sense of history and timelessness. Take these spaces and put them in one of the French châteaus I’ve been featuring on Sundays and you have yourself a winner.

The lines and curves theme continues with another project by Melanie Morris. With a base of pastels to soften the graphic elements, this Park Avenue apartment is chic and serene. (Photos: Adam Kane Macchia)
