Michael Breland and Peter Harper of LA design firm Breland-Harper transformed their 1920s Spanish Revival home in Silver Lake into a minimal, Tuscan villa-style beauty. It had been previously renovated and stripped of much of its history and charm. They designed a large addition with includes a kitchen to gather and entertain, created a Moorish style courtyard garden, added terracotta brick flooring which keeps the home cool (I love this soooo much) and overall created a wonderfully serene, airy vibe.

This vibrant family home in the French countryside, just outside Paris, was completely transformed by Sean Symington over an 18-month renovation. Working closely with a young family who relocated from London, the project reimagined the interiors while respecting the home’s original architecture. Grand proportions and symmetry provided the perfect canvas for layering bold colour, texture, and pattern. An eclectic art collection informed much of the design direction, inspiring a personal, expressive aesthetic. Bespoke joinery, antique finds, and custom upholstery bring warmth and individuality to this richly detailed and welcoming home.

Every detail has been chosen to enhance the home’s serene atmosphere, resulting in a timeless and deeply personal refuge shaped by intention and care.

This 1901 Hoboken, New Jersey brownstone needed a revamp and designer Hollie Velten was up for the challenge. The homeowners desired a thoughtful fusion of function and feeling. More and more designers are taking the old vs new approach to older homes and this version is a perfect harmonious blend of both. Cozy with lots of personality. Photos: Thomas Leonczik.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. The C Suite by Jean Liu Design.
