According to a House Beautiful feature on this Toronto home, designer Ali Budd was given carte blanche on decorating the main floor and second-floor primary suite but the homeowners insisted she include a bubble gum-pink range they had purchased. And shades of pink became a reoccurring feature in most of the spaces – a saturated mauve-drenched living room, a powder room with a pink quartzite-clad vanity, a butler’s pantry in Gucci pink floral wallpaper, a blush tone rug in the primary suite…. I love it! Photos: Lauren Miller.

Similar to the last project I featured by McLean Interiors, this spec house in Dallas, Texas is also a wonderful mix of light and dark (with dark in the rooms that I loooove seeing dark – the dining room and lounge/media/bar/games room) and an overall warm modern approach that is timeless and full of cozy furnishings. I need a big furry/fleecy chair so damn bad. Builder: Bean Co Homes; Photos: Matti Gresham.

The title of this project is Man, I Love Leather, which I don’t totally understand in the context of these spaces but I’m rolling with it because I found it amusing 🙂 I really love that this home is a blend of dark and light. The best of both worlds. That dark parlour & bar space is SUCH A MOOD! I would spend all winter in that room. Most of the rest of this University Park, Texas new build is bright and airy with soft furnishings which would be perfect in the hot Texas climate. It’s modern, sophisticated but incredibly welcoming. Interiors: McLean Interiors; Architect: Jerry Coleman; Builder: Bean Co Homes; Photos; Lisa Petrole; Styling: Jenny O’Connor.

The Studio’s first ground-up build finds both solace and togetherness in a one-room pavilion envisioned as a family retreat unfolding in the garden behind the main home, enveloped and enlivened in a thatch of greenery. A pleasing admixture of provenance and period fulfills the desire to “mess up the hair of the house”: custom furniture of the Studio’s own design — a sofa the color of saffron, tactile tables hewn from local lava stone; vintage Postwar examples — Pierre Chapo, Jeanerret, Noguchi. A bar of locally-sculpted brass rings a half-round form that hugs the structure, creating a self-contained entertaining space. Terracotta tiles in the bathroom tap into the heritage of Mexican craft. Barragan-inspired shutters frame the windows, a custom pattern Nepalese silk rug stretches across the floor like a sun-baked field.

Set amid the sweeping Texas landscape, Heritage Ranch by Angeline & Co. redefines modern ranch living through a seamless blend of heritage and innovation. The stone-clad exterior and metal roofing evoke classic ranch architecture, while expansive windows and outdoor living spaces frame the home’s natural beauty. Inside, layers of texture—stone, wood, and soft textiles—create warmth and rhythm, anchored by a monumental fireplace. The primary suite offers a serene, spa-like retreat, while a bespoke bar and cigar room introduce moody sophistication. Children’s spaces bring color and playfulness, each crafted with lasting intention. From the resort-inspired pool to the hand-finished interiors, Heritage Ranch embodies Angeline & Co.’s signature balance of authenticity, craftsmanship, and contemporary ease.
