Nashville designer Lilly Taylor not only created a wonderful home for herself as per the previous post but she also had a hand in the one her parents live in (and that she spent a lot of her childhood in). And this house has EVERYTHING. An elegant and spacious foyer/entryway, a moody and cozy study where hanging around with the fire going is a must, a dreamy and classic kitchen (I adore the weird little nook) with adjacent sitting area to lounge while someone is cooking, a stylish dining room with a dramatic bar area, and an absolutely epic outdoor space with pool and brick pizza oven.

A designer’s cozy Nashville home

Posted on Thu, 6 Nov 2025 by KiM

Nashville designer Lilly Taylor recently took on a major renovation of most of her home and I am loving the casual yet sophisticated feel, the thoughtful details and the mostly muted colour palette. This new look will stand the test of time and is a wonderful mix of old and new, dark and light, and 100% functional. Photos: Caroline Sharpnack.

Renewal

Posted on Wed, 5 Nov 2025 by midcenturyjo

The property, originally purchased by the client’s grandparents after emigrating to Australia, forms part of a family compound spanning two neighbouring lots and housing three generations. Now under the client’s ownership, the home has been carefully restored and renewed as a lasting residence for future generations. Situated within a heritage overlay, the renovation honours the Edwardian villa’s original character and materiality. To the rear, a new living pavilion extends toward a bluestone laneway, its red brick and sawtooth roof inspired by nearby industrial buildings. Oversized timber doors and exposed rafters dissolve boundaries between the interior and the garden beyond. Abbotsford House by Melbourne-based MRHN Architects.

Timeless harmony

Posted on Wed, 5 Nov 2025 by midcenturyjo

Designed for a young couple seeking a refined New York pied-à-terre, this residence within The Ansonia merges three apartments into one cohesive home. And Studio drew inspiration from the building’s architectural heritage, introducing archways and custom millwork that echo its historic details. An oval window anchors a bespoke desk nook while arched kitchen windows frame Hudson River views. Every detail was considered to evoke timeless harmony between classic craftsmanship and contemporary living.

A 17th century Welsh farmhouse

Posted on Tue, 4 Nov 2025 by KiM

Set in the remote slopes of a Welsh hillside, this beautiful four-bedroom farmhouse has been renovated with great care and sensitivity, pairing its existing 19th-century foundations with elegant modern details. Stone-built and with a slate roof, the house spans over 4,200 sq ft across two storeys. Outside, the house sits in grounds of five acres, with landscaped beds and borders, wild meadowland, and a timber-framed cabin. Although Bwlch Coch, as it stands today, was largely built in the 17th century, parts of the building are thought to be around 700 years old. This includes oak panels in the living room, believed to have been reclaimed from a ship. Later period features include a 17th-century oak plank and muntin screen, and a wide inglenook fireplace. Carefully restored over the course of two decades, the house was stripped back to its original fabric. 
I am completely smitten with this home, for sale via Inigo. It even has the quintessential farmhouse dog (Dodge, a deerhound lurcher). I’ll take it, and the dog 🙂 (Some photos via Michael Sinclair via House & Garden)
