From me: Lucky and Phoebe hanging out on my dining table turned workspace table, and Frankie on the sofa.

As soon as I came across a feature on Russian designer Boris Dmitriev‘s office/apartment in Architectural Digest Russia I laughed because it is such a bold contrast to the office Jo featured yesterday. Located in a building built in 1905 in Moscow, this 84 m² space is so unique. Boris does not shy away from colour or pattern! I know this isn’t for everyone, but his attention to detail and the way he pulls it all together with such cohesion is extraordinary.

Another take on traditional meets modern in this elegant home designed by Carmiña Roth. With a backdrop of white, the antiques and artwork really pop and make the wonderfully eclectic spaces uplifting.

Many of the elements in this Watch Hill, Rhose Island beach house of designer Carmiña Roth are a nod to the traditional architecture of the home, but love how she pulled together some more contemporary elements to keep things fresh and relaxed. The result is timeless and comfortable, perfect for a family.

It’s been a few years since I featured a project by Paris-based interior designer Adrien Pillay. This time it’s an INSANELY GOOD and VERY drastic renovation of a home in the south-west of France (Périgueux). He sent a before photo for each of the afters and lawd half mursey was this an undertaking of the century! I’m blown away by this transformation and grateful he shared it with us.
