I could definitively see myself retiring in a place like this. The homeowners of this Calistoga, CA residence are a very lucky couple! What a beautiful setting to spend your days while NOT working (or enduring a seemingly endless pandemic). By Geremia Design.

Athena Calderone of EyeSwoon can do no wrong. She can cook (and write a book about it), she can design interiors (and write a book about it), her taste in fashion is impeccable, and she recently got a puppy! She has a jaw-dropping townhouse in Brooklyn and a weekend beach house in Amangansett that she recently gave a refresh (not that it really needed it). It is neutral and earthy and I am in love.

Bring on the glamour! This magazine worthy home designed by Nina Maya brings together a unique art collection and sculptural furniture. And can we talk about that pink marble sink setup? LAWD HALF MURSEY!

Given all the loveliness in the portfolio of Transition State, I could not stop at just one post. Here are more deliciously neutral spaces by this talented trio.

Lauren Schneider, Kelli Riley and Jenna Rochon are the trio behind LA based design studio Transition State and this project is a lesson in how to use neutrals and textures to create incredibly serene and inviting spaces that aren’t bland and boring. (I wish I had taller ceilings and an empty corner – would love one of those black olive trees like in the first 2 photos).
