Sag Harbor cottage

Posted on Fri, 23 Jun 2017 by midcenturyjo

Sometimes simple… and stylish… is just right. Especially in a summer getaway and especially in Sag Harbor in the Hamptons. Who needs a big, flashy pile when you can enjoy this pretty little cottage by Glenn Ban.

Modern on the water

Posted on Wed, 7 Jun 2017 by midcenturyjo

Sometimes a spectacular view can all but overwhelm any attempt to decorate a room. Either the room pales in comparison or the view and the room fight each other to the death. Definitely not the case in this harbourside home in Sydney by EB Interiors. A palette of moody blues, an emphasis on strong contemporary lines and bespoke joinery provide the stage for the subtle textures and pops of colour from soft furnishings and wallpaper.

A Craftsman beach house

Posted on Tue, 9 May 2017 by KiM

What a fabulous beach house designed by Threshold Interiors! This Jersey Shore Craftsman is so pleasing to the eye with lots of fun touches like graphic floor tile (and fireplace surround), wallpaper (love that Farrow & Ball Aranami pattern in the bathroom), and the bathrooms are absolutely stunning. And what about this kitchen!! Subway tile, copper, and pale grey cabinets make it timeless and polished.

Tropical paradise

Posted on Thu, 27 Apr 2017 by KiM

Thursday – the sad forgotten sister of Friday. No one ever yells “Thank God it’s Thursday”. No one ever counts down the last few hours until after work drinks or the freedom of the weekend. Thursday is a plod-along day, a “let’s get it over so we can go to sleep and yell TGIF the next morning” sort of day. So here is my Thursday gift to you, a virtual escape to brighten up the stolid workaday. Tamarind Beach at Paradise Cove, a compound of three houses (for vacation rental) in the tropical paradise of Vanuatu. A sophisticated taste of island life steps from crystal blue waters and coral reefs. This is one virtual getaway I wish I could make in real life.

Today’s daydream involves a cool drink by the pool then a saunter through the stylish rooms of this house in the south by Madrid-based design firm Melián Randolph. Mediterranean chic.
