This 1968 home on Lake Austin, Texas recently underwent a dramatic transformation inside and out and is a wonderful backdrop to the homeowner’s extensive art collection. Modern yet has some cozy spaces for relaxing, whilst maintaining an overall mid century vibe. The dining room does double duty as a conference space for these work from home times, and the sliding wall is in fact a massive white board. Love that!

WOW!!! Walking into the Harlem apartment of designer Courtney McLeod (of Right Meets Left Interior Design) must have everyone immediately grinning from ear to ear. This is BOLD and DRAMATIC and SO MUCH FUN! That saturated blue, mixed with orange and pink (and subtle red and green) is a quirky combination that works so beautifully. And a more calming bedroom with a stunning wallpaper adds sophistication. (Check out more of Courtney’s work here)

Jo shared the 17th century, 3,300 sq ft Milan palazzo of designer Vincenzo De Cotiis a few years ago and I recently stumbled upon it again and because it truly is one of the most exquisite homes I have ever seen I wanted to share it again. This is what taking the time to peel back years and years of layers can get you. And when you leave it raw and untreated, it is absolutely magical and something to be revered for years to come.

I have no idea how I have gone this long not knowing about the exquisitely artful, collected, refined spaces of Houston/LA based designer Garrett Hunter. And for those that also didn’t know, NOW YOU KNOW.

I lose my marbles over every project that Hubert Zandberg gets his paws on. And this one which is a bit more traditional than most of his work is glorious, and perfect in a Tuscan setting. Villa Medane – An exclusive Tuscan villa and estate located in the dramatic hilly countryside outside Siena, a second home for one of our returning clients. The design concept was to create a comfortable retreat that references the centuries old rich history of the area and at the same time incorporates these with a curated mix of both vintage and contemporary elements and found pieces, for contemporary living.
