Built in, 1902, this San Francisco gem is dripping in character. Our goal was to turn this architectural charmer into a modern family home. Focusing on art and beauty without skimping on functionality was at the core of the design process. With a very light touch, we updated the home’s cosmetic details to better accommodate our clients aesthetics and lifestyle. We created spaces focused on entertaining as well family-friendly gatherings. Warm whites, camel, and earth tones in the living room helped create a foundation for our client’s incredible art collection.
What a fabulous home! I love the modern take on the interior but with lots of curves and plush furniture and fabrics that make it feel really loungey. Designed by Katie Monkhouse. Photos: Stephanie Russo.

Designer Nadia Watts worked with her client’s expansive (and quite disparate) art collection and made it all work together in their Denver home. Each one taking pride of place among each room and creating such a dynamic yet cohesive vision. I love how eclectic each space is and how it all flows so wonderfully. Photos: Emily Minton-Redfield.

Atop St. Paul’s picturesque Summit Hill, our Romanesque Victorian renovation transformed a majestic, 10,000-square-foot estate into an intimate haven for a growing family. By juxtaposing grand, airy spaces with snug, inviting nooks, we created a harmonious balance of elegance and warmth. This thoughtfully restored home now radiates cozy charm.
I’m head over heels in love with this home. The drama of the grandeur and the architecture, that marble checkerboard floor, the warmth of the wood paneling, the mix of modern and antique lighting, the photography artwork that makes such a statement… Designed by Anne McDonald; Photos: Tim Lenz; Styling: Liz Gardner.

Designer Jean Ross of Row Design Studio gut renovated this 1916 Toronto dwelling with help of her husband. What was once a dark and gloomy outdated home became a bright and charming, vintage filled space with some cool original character and some great DIY projects. Photos: Kiely Ramos.

It’s been nearly a million years since I featured Los Angeles based showroom and design studio Martin & Brockett so I thought I would share some design projects this time around. Lots of cozy spaces and love the use of colour, even when subtle. Also a fan of the plethora of art displayed throughout.
