Formerly a customs post for controlling merchandise on the Canal du Midi, the building was bought by a noble family from Toulouse who, with the help of an Italian architect, completely redesigned the building based on the Italian palazzi to make it more comfortable. Grand staircase, private courtyard, orangery. Today, this property is a sleeping beauty surrounded by enchanting parkland. The château comprises 3 floors of 420 m² each and more than 1,000 m² of outbuildings.
I know I would be quite happy living here and breathing new life into this beauty. Located in Castelnaudary in southern France and for sale via Poncet & Poncet for €1,250,000.

Designer Jenn Feldman gut-renovated her family’s 1935 Colonial Revival-style home in Los Angeles and I adore the end result. A mix of contemporary and antique furnishings, a vibe that is a bit classically elegant and on the other hand a bit modern. It’s a wonderful home for cozy family gatherings and will stand the test of time. Photos: Amy Bartlam

Those Londoners sure do consistently have fun with their interiors. Always a delight to the eyes with colours and patterns, and Sascal Studio really added some pizzazz into this formerly soulless white home and now it’s yelling from the rooftops “come on over and hang out!”. That jib door powder room under the stairs is the freaking cutest! Photos: Angus Williams.

This 1850s federal-style brownstone in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston is already as cute as can be, but Nina Farmer got her hands on it and added some really bold colours, sheen and patterns and upped the personality factor by 1000%. I am adding so many photos of this project to my inspiration folder, but particularly of the kitchen. I am soooo tired of boring and bland kitchens and this one could not be further from that.

Through this project, THDP’s desire is to create the perfect haven for the curious travelers that want to dive deep into the secrets of one of the most fascinating cities in the world. By restoring these apartments, THDP have created a luxury space to live when visiting Rome; a serene yet enchanting space to unwind after long days of exploring. The three places of intervention are distributed in 3 areas that differ from each other for history and day/night life. The first one (third below), Trastevere is a Young Rome, famous for its nightlife, especially outdoors. The alleys, the fountains, and the clothes hanging outside frame a fresh, sparkling and vital life, and here magic is born. The second one is the monumental Ancient Rome, situated really close to the Colosseum and watershed between 3 of the seven hills, Esquilino, Colle Oppio and Celio. The third one (first below) is Noble Rome, the Rome of palaces, antique dealers and art galleries. An elegant Rome that, when viewed from the windows and terraces, opens up the perspectives to an exclusive and opulent dimension.
If I had a month to be able to travel, and the destination be Rome, how I would loooooove to stay in one of these 27 luxury short term rental apartments. They are the perfect blend of minimal furnishings, doses of colour and modern vibes to make you feel like the coolest person chillin’ in Italy.
