Elevated cottage living in Haliburton, Ontario

Posted on Tue, 11 Mar 2025 by KiM

Cottage living in the country but make it elevated. This stunning home in Hailburton, Ontario is soooo beautiful and despite my love of colour, it is truly relaxing and easy on the eyes with all of the neutral tones and woods used throughout. As a getaway from the craziness of the city it is the perfect palette. So many wonderful textures too – stone walls in the living room and kitchen, raffia walls and seagrass pendants in the dining room, white oak walls and ceilings… Designed by Allison Willson.

This 1880s rowhouse renovation by Toronto-based Tommy Smythe and Colin Baird of Tom Design Collective celebrates fearless design and bold colours. A red front door opens to a vestibule with ikat grass cloth, turquoise hooks, and graphic tiles. Vibrant palettes unfold—moody blues and magenta in the living room, pink and green in the kitchen, and a crimson dining room with striking moldings and opulent accents.

A timeless reimagining in Dulwich

Posted on Thu, 6 Mar 2025 by midcenturyjo

“Working passionately to create serene, harmonious spaces that are restful, uplifting and beautifully detailed.  I tend towards natural and textured materials, combining old and new pieces in order to give character and soul to a space whilst adding playful elements throughout to create charming and surprising compositions. I favour humble over high tech solutions, finding that complicated design problems are often resolved through an honest and simple outlook.”Jessica Summer

This five-bedroom townhouse has been reimagined with new materials and meticulously designed architectural details, including bespoke paneling, doors and skirting. Emphasizing natural materials and a blend of old and new furnishings, the home feels both calming and timeless.

Natasha Quick believes a home should reflect its owners, blending personal history with the character of the house. For this Notting Hill apartment, she reconfigured the floor plan, transforming a two-bedroom flat into three to suit a growing family. Original features like the fireplace, cornicing, and full-height paneling were reinstated. A redesigned kitchen-dining area created a social hub with integrated banquette storage, while the clients’ cherished art and antiques were thoughtfully refreshed and repositioned.

Quaint Scottish cottage in California

Posted on Wed, 5 Mar 2025 by KiM

Design firm Pierce & Ward will forever be a favourite of mine, that I find so incredibly inspirational. Their love of all things vintage and antique, their creativity and uniqueness, and the coziness and lived-in feel of their projects always capture my heart. This 1900s cottage in Los Angeles was filled with the prettiest wallpapers, lots of patterned textiles and of course tons of antiques, giving it a bit of Scottish pub vibes (the homeowner is Scottish). How lovely!! Photos: Justin Chung.
