This Northern California estate looks like from the outside it may have been transported from Mexico? South of France? Portugal? and once you walk inside you’re then whisked away to a castle in England? a Caribbean villa? Whatever this is it’s exquisitely eclectic and overflowing with personality. Another project designed by Studio Shamshiri (styled by Michael Reynolds).

The weather is beautiful here in Ottawa this weekend and we’re in yet another lockdown so to pass the time I’m spending it outside lounging in the backyard and trying to spread the snow piles we have left around the yard so they’ll melt faster. Fellow Canadians I know are laughing at this because WE ALL DO IT. Spring and summer can’t get here fast enough. Anyway, I spotted this beautiful luxury boutique hotel/guest house, Maison de la Luz, located in New Orleans in the portfolio of Studio Shamshiri and had to share. It is sooo unique, sophisticated and elegant. What I would give for a weekend getaway here!

I love the contemporary vibes and brightness of this home, another project designed by IDF Studio. After purchasing a two-story flat in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow, our client asked IDF Studio to create a home that reflects her fun, playful personality and her love of animals. We embraced the challenge of including animal artwork and the color pink into a refined, sophisticated space.  Tonal pink features prominently in some spaces, and is a subtle accent in others.  The result is decidedly feminine.

When you have absolutely nothing to do to prepare for Easter decorations… This gorgeous historic stone home in the Poconos designed by SCW Interiors has bunnies scattered among the decor and has a distinctive Easter colour palette. Rustic and traditional feels with some modern patterns added in here and there to keep it fresh.

This Greenwich, CT historic home has EvErYtHiNg. Drama and grandeur as soon as you walk through the front door, eye-popping colours, patterns and textures, and such incredible attention to detail that every room requires careful inspection such that nothing is missed. A masterpiece designed by Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey of SCW Interiors.
