Living in the trees on South Pender Island, B.C. – and with that view of the water? Spectacular! Open, airy, and cozy is what they love the most. A custom-designed family holiday home that balances comfort with contemporary, privacy with open-ness. Interior design by Marrimor Design Studio. 

Check out this fantastic project recently completed by Sara Ray of a new construction home. 

This bright and open kitchen features lots of storage. The open reclaimed wood shelving provides interest against the shiplap-clad walls and ceiling.

We custom designed the pantry with the client’s needs in mind. It serves as overflow for serving and party pieces, as well as cookbooks and small appliances.

The double fireplace opens to the living room and dining room. The antique rug, vintage pouf, and gorgeous artwork add a nice punch of color to this cozy setting.

The master bathroom has lots of contrast and drama with its dark floors, doors, and other features, while the countertops, cabinets, and walls remain light.

I am loving the spaces created by Nashville interior designer Sara Ray. Her aesthetic of old-meets-new is what I always gravitate towards, pairing classic, timeless pieces with clean lines for that perfect balance. And now I desperately want a black cabinet to fill with white dishes and ceramics. 

Three Seven is made up of Caroline Petit of France and American Jonas Mason. Together they are out to conquer the world (or at least America) by dumpster diving, attending auctions, exploring abandoned barns and neglected garages in the hunt for vintage treasures. You can check out the products they have found and sell in their shop here, and this SOHO apartment is an example of the thrifted, industrial style they love.

Pair an 1887 farmhouse in the Italian countryside with architecture firm MIDE and you get an incredible mix of modern and rustic. Maintaining the original stone, brick and chestnut wood exterior, inside natural lime plaster was applied on the walls to highlight irregularities, original beams were exposed and ceilings bleached. The result is a dreamy blend of old and new.
