Interior designer Dirk Jan Kinet does not fill his spaces with Ikea, does not karate chop his pillows, does not douse everything in white nor does he place a fiddle leaf fig in every bright corner. What he does do is the unexpected. In every corner. Literally – check out the dining room photo. This Madrid home is trend-less and I love it for its randomness. Via Nuevo Estilo. 

This Bridgehampton, NY farmhouse is the perfect summer getaway. Designed by Common Bond Design, you won’t find any karate chopped pillows here! It is a wonderfully eclectic mix of Scandinavian, nautical and classical styles. That dining room tho’ – the crystal chandelier/farmhouse table/gilded Louis XVI chair combo is something I have lusted over forever. 

Studio McGee is consistently a top notch resource for thirst-quenching interior decor inspiration. This Pacific Palisades project is among one of my favourites. Classy furnishings, lots of crisp white, a kitchen that could not be more inviting, dreamy bathrooms with marble countertops and tiles that have me swooning, a bit of pattern for some graphic detail…it is a home I want to sink my teeth into.

Where blues and greens pop against a white and grey backdrop, where graphic patterns are in abundance, where coastal style meets practical comfort. A statement home designed by San Diego interior design firm AGK Design Studio.

I am a big fan of H2 Design + Build (see here: 1, 2, 3, 4) so it’s no surprise I am smitten with the renovation of their own office/headquarters. A dilapidated, 300sq ft box became a place I would totally love working in. The before photos are frightening – check them out at the end of their blog post.
