Warm minimalism. Form meets function. The analytical blends with the beautiful. Peaceful & purposeful. White spaces, clean lines & layered textures. This is LA-based designer Carly Waters.

This restored 1843 carriage house in Charleston, South Carolina is so beautiful I could cry. I don’t care in the slightest what the main house looks like I’m so smitten by the beauty of this. By G.P. Schafer Architect.

When vintage meets bohemian meets traditional in a cabin-like, autumn setting. This 3800 sq ft home in Marin County (San Francisco Bay area) was renovated and expanded by G.P. Schafer Architect, who retained the original 1870’s cabin elements. It is so inviting and full of charm. I could not love this more. Interior design by Rita Konig.

Seattle interior designer Heidi Caillier can do no wrong. I fall in love with every project she completes. This Tudor home is no exception. At first glance the design appears fairly traditional but it does not take long to notice the touches of mid-century and the fun prints and colours used throughout that keep it fresh and youthful.

The old English Pointer doing the topsy-turvy on any piece of furniture she can find. This is our 6 year old rescue dog, Tully, feeling very relaxed with her legs up in the air!

And one from me. Apparently I have been too busy at work or doing landscaping projects to pay much attention to the herd 🙁 This is Lucky passed out on the living room sofa.
