Function meets beauty in a 1920s Tudor home

Posted on Thu, 6 Jun 2024 by KiM

I am completely in awe and frankly quite jealous of these spaces in a 1920s Tudor home designed by Whittney Parkinson. You’ve got a spacious kitchen with gorgeous cabinetry & countertops & arched tiled wall & a statement hood fan situation with a gem of a butler’s pantry, a mudroom and laundry room that are so functional but also soooo stylish, and a pile of bathrooms that have such pretty details, never mind that one of them looks larger than my living room. *GASP*

Wabi Sabi in Notting Hill

Posted on Mon, 3 Jun 2024 by midcenturyjo

Designer Saskia Blyth has transformed this two-bedroom penthouse in Notting Hill into an uplifting space with rustic charm. Located on Blenheim Crescent, the penthouse features cathedral-like proportions, vaulted ceilings, and low beams. Yellow-toned lime plaster and inky black walls create striking contrasts. A horseshoe-shaped reception room flows into interconnected rooms, while double-height windows illuminate the Boffi kitchen island. The dining area’s mottled walls reflect daylight, and an open fire adds warmth to the living room. Both tranquil bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and access to a private terrace with stunning views. For short let via Domus Nova.

A bright and colourful modern home

Studio Ashby‘s latest project is a colourful, light-filled modern home that beautifully balances vibrancy and elegance. Large windows flood the space with natural light, bold eclectic furnishings and art pieces create a lively atmosphere while thoughtful design elements ensure comfort and functionality.

Located in Melbourne’s leafy inner suburbs, Heyington Residence is a renovation by 11:11 of a 1930s interwar home, originally inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement. The studio preserved and honoured these ideas, focusing on quality materials and craftsmanship. Despite losing many original details during a 1990s renovation they reinstated the home’s charm with modern functionalities. Intricate timber panelling in the study guided new joinery complemented by natural stone and polished plaster. The result is a contemporary family home blending modern comfort with historical character.
