The Mountain Brook, Birmingham home of architect James F. Carter takes you back in time, despite being a new build. The brick Georgian style exterior is quite a beauty, and the interior is filled with classic, traditional details which sets the stage for an impressive collection of antiques. It is a home he must cherish.

Welcome to the jaw-droppingly gorgeous home in The Hague of internationally sought-after contemporary Spanish painter Lita Cabellut. What was a former warehouse/antique store in the 18th century is now an exquisite example of a restore project that was done soooooo right. I am blown away at the beauty of every room. And make sure you pay attention to the kitchen sink!

La Belle Vue is a B&B that is a little slice of absolute heaven in the small village of Neffiés in southwestern France. Built in 1857, Swedish couple Yvonne and Micke purchased the home which had so many beautiful details intact – old windows, stucco, tall doors, fireplaces, handmade tiles in fantastic patterns and a view to die for, and transformed it into a glorious getaway.

Paloma Ranch consists of twin hunting lodges for a pair of brothers on a seventeen-thousand-acre spread in the south of Texas. (For those who find taxidermy offensive, please skip this post). These photos are from each lodge, designed by Emily Seiders (married to another of the brothers). A comfortable + casual, bohemian + southwestern, modern + organic mélange that doesn’t distract from the beauty of the landscape.

More from Lisa Burdus with this spectacular home in Mosman, New South Wales, Australia. It is a bit of her favourite – English country with some contemporary to keep it a bit more current and functional. Once again her layering and use of patterns is on point.
