La Muette

Posted on Wed, 11 Jun 2025 by KiM

This Parisian apartment is the epitome of timelessness. Versailles oak parquet floors, patinaed walls, rounded walls, enamelled terracotta fireplace, enamelled lava mosaic kitchen island, leopard carpeting, and many other beautiful elements were added to this blank slate that had not been renovated in many years. There is now a sense of history and a vibe that can’t quite be pinpointed but that’s what makes it so special and unique. Designed by Lizée-Hugot. Photos: Alice Mesguich.

Reimagining in Old Enfield

Posted on Fri, 6 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

Ashby Collective brought new life to a 1940s home in Austin’s Old Enfield neighbourhood with a respectful, detail-driven approach. Original trim and colorful encaustic tiles were preserved or re-created maintaining the home’s charm. A state-of-the-art kitchen and hidden pantry were seamlessly integrated. The result is a subtly modernized residence where old Austin character remains intact, complemented by playful vintage decor and a Gen X–focused art collection curated by the home’s creative owners.

A party barn in the Cotswolds

Posted on Wed, 28 May 2025 by KiM

I declare that every Cotswolds residence needs a party barn! It makes complete sense if you have a barn on your property that needs some love. In this case it involves exposed stone walls, tons of storage, reclaimed wood, a massive 20 person dining table that can move out of the way to make room for a dance floor, a kitchen with bi-fold doors to close it off so the dinner mess can wait until morning, and lots of space for guests to sleep. I love this sooooo much! Designed by Dalrymple Studio. Photos: Dean Hearne.
