Located in back country Darien, previous city-lifers relocated their family to the charming village in hopes for a peaceful homestead. Having no recent renovations within the last few decades, Becca Interiors worked to reinvent the home to not only update it to suit the needs of the family, but also cast new life into it. Collected, customized, and antique pieces were implemented throughout the outfit of this home making it a true labor of love. This nearly 8000 sq/ft home no longer lives as a home from the past, but is now reinvigorated leaving enough room for its new family to make countless fond memories.
This is what I call classic – classic neutral colours that are really beautiful and easy to work with, classic decor that would stand the test of time, classic all around vibes that make this livable and loveable.

Art, space and materiality

Posted on Fri, 28 Mar 2025 by midcenturyjo

Designed by J.Kidman Architects with interiors by Golden and Studio Tali Roth, this Melbourne home is a quiet yet powerful expression of art and spatial refinement. Rooted in Belgian minimalism, an elemental colour story and tactile layering create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Sculptural furniture, curated artworks and striking materiality shape a living experience akin to encountering a great piece of art. A reimagined spatial plan prioritizes northern light with interconnected volumes framing outdoor spaces. The result is a residence that transcends trends, evoking timelessness, contemplation and an intimate dialogue between form, texture and function.

Gable House, designed by Studio Doherty & Folk Architects, redefines family living through bold yet harmonious design. A zinc-clad extension by Folk Architects introduces contemporary contrast, with a glazed bridge linking the heritage Queen Anne Federation home to the new wing. The reconfigured interiors embrace openness and natural light, with a salvaged brick feature wall grounding the space in history. Timber-lined ceilings add warmth, while pale blue quartzite and a striking pink pantry energize the kitchen. Playful yet refined, the home’s layered material palette—stone, Murano glass, and vintage accents—creates a rich, expressive interior that blends heritage charm with modern sophistication.

Shane & Pierce is the recent joint venture of LA based designer Evan Shane Krenzien and Dallas-based developer Pierce Jordan. It seems these two talented guys got together to work on Pierce’s Normandy inspired home he built (designed by architect Juan Carlos deLeon) and it was such a success they decided to work together on more projects. I can see why – this home feels modern but has an old-world flavour to it and a warmth that is so welcoming. That kitchen is giving Tuscan vibes and the morning room is a dream. Also, marble wainscotting?!?! I am smitten with it all. Photos: Michael P. H. Clifford; Styling: Shelley Warkentin.

Nostalgic vibes in a West Seattle home

Posted on Thu, 27 Mar 2025 by KiM

My obsession with Heidi Caillier‘s projects continues with this West Seattle beauty in her typical vintage/traditional style with a funky edge. That kitchen has captured my heart but it makes me wonder how much I’d be into that painted wood floor over time. Sometimes I think they are really cute even when worn in the high traffic areas but not sure if I’d regret it. What do you think about painted wood floors in kitchens?
