If I ever wanted to redo my house in pared back, earthy neutrals with a Scandinavian minimalist vibe, I would want it to look exactly like this. This remodeled Victorian townhouse in East London was designed by London-based studio Daytrip and is currently for sale via The Modern House.

Styling by Béton Brut and Laura Fulmine, lighting by Fabio Cristini (There’s Light) and landscaping by Lauren Tyler (Tyler Goldfinch)

Here’s a picture of the handsomest cat ever to sit on a yellow chair, my sister’s cat Louie.

I’ve been so busy lately (like, the past 4 months) I’ve been neglecting taking pics of my herd. I found this one on my memory card from my recent photo shoot of my new sofa. I always laugh that I have enough cats that I have one to match each room. Phoebe is my new living room matching cat. LOL

With the exception of a screen door, some window screens and paint touch ups along the roof line, my she-shed is complete and I am so incredibly happy that we managed to pull this off. I will share pics as soon as I can get the yard surrounding the she-shed in a presentable state (the shed is currently surrounded by dirt) but in the meantime I had to share this summer home and greenhouse I found on Sköna hem because who doesn’t love a greenhouse! And they homeowners painted it green to blend in with the surroundings, which I why I chose to paint my she-shed green. Also, they painted their house black which I am always a HUGE fan of.

This lovely home is the Shelter Island, NY summer oasis of John and Christine Gachot, of design firm Gachot Studios. I love the casual, earthy vibe here, especially the painting studio that occupies a former carriage shed. What a fun spot to hang out and enjoy the summer weather.

Frederick Tang Architecture is an architecture and design practice located in Gowanus, Brooklyn. While they have worked on a wide variety of projects, their attention to detail and function is always evident. I could not pick a favourite project so here are glimpses from several of them.
