Many fun colours, patterns and textures make this turn-of-the-century home whimsical, spirited and is a wonderful example of how to add vintage while still keeping it feeling current. A unique take on decor for a family’s seaside holiday retreat by designer Michelle Kelly.

I spotted this breathtaking, incredulous home comprised of a collection of Cotswolds stone barns the other day @ Shoot Factory (located in Cirenchester, Gloucestershire, England) and was blown away. Unfortunately the owners did not do the decor justice so I’ll share only one photo of the interior but WOW the gardens and expanse of space of this property are a dream!!! Also having a series of Cotswold stone barns This has me wanting to buy ALLLLL the boxwoods and convince my husband he loves trimming them. There’s something about symmetry and order to landscaping that really speaks to me.

What does one do with an 1890 Carpenter-Gothic-style cottage in Monteagle Tennessee? In this case interior designer Rachel Halvorson painted it all white for simplicity and brightness, added lots of vintage earthy touches and sympathetically restored and left natural some parts to keep it warm and inviting. *round of applause!*

Classic but edgy with little WOW touches in this Manhattan apartment designer Collette van den Thillart dubbed ‘the tattoo parlour’. A beautifully arranged gallery wall, a Vladimir Kagan chaise, some earthy accents balanced by a bit of brass…a very cool space.
