A gentleman’s apartment in Minneapolis

Posted on Wed, 3 Apr 2024 by KiM

I am smitten with this apartment in Minneapolis designed by Alecia Stevens. A mix of historic architecture and classic yet comfortable furnishings. This space includes a kitchen that I am head over heels in love with – lofty with stainless steel cabinets and an antique island with marble top and a really cool subway tile pattern on the walls AND has a fireplace with sitting area. It’s PERFECTION. Architecture: Andrew Hawkinson Contractor: Welch Forsman Photos: Scott Amundson

The most beautiful home in Ottawa

Posted on Mon, 1 Apr 2024 by KiM

My design idol, Henrietta Southam, has created such a magnificent oasis in her latest home here in Ottawa and just when I thought could not be more impressed with her creativity and style….well here we are. I am shook that she can make an earthy, neutral colour palette so damn sexy and sophisticated, and be so dramatic. And to be doing this from a city that has access to almost no decent design shops and in general some of the most boring and bland taste in interiors. It is what makes Henrietta so unique and inspiring. Read more about her home on Architectural Digest (!!!!). Photos: Marc Fowler of Metropolis Studio

Where black and white tiled foyers and a classic details and patterns are everywhere creating layers and visual interest. Eyre Interiors really created a beautiful home here.

French Provincial in Los Angeles

Posted on Thu, 28 Mar 2024 by KiM

I would feel right at home in this spectacular home in Los Angeles, another gem designed by Pierce & Ward. It has a little bit of everything – feminine pinks, masculine dark greys and greens, with pretty wallpapers scattered around for some vintage flair. I would move in and not touch a single thing. Just add cats and husband.
