A celebration of the beauty of age, of patina, of a wonky wall and a sloping floor. A sympathetic embrace of history, a simple life, solid comfort and cosiness. The old is new but not made new. For me, it’s love at first sight. New England farmhouse by Los Angeles interior designer Kristen Panitch.

Phase 2 of this Mediterranean modern makeover by Haus Love. Bedroom, bathroom and powder rooms. A beautiful exploration of textile, earthy pops in white rooms, warm timber highlights and glorious tile. Anyone else in love with the grey powder room? Swoon.

“The house was in good condition however did not have the style or layout to suit a contemporary way of living for a modern family. We therefore set out to open up key spaces, such as the kitchen and dining area, creating a family-style ‘heart of the home’ space. The master bedroom received a luxurious en suite bathroom, by knocking down walls between a former dressing room and smaller bathroom.”

Bringing a European sensibility with strong Scandinavian undertones Pernille Lind Studio used a neutral colour palette and a beautifully curated mix of old and new, bespoke and antique to create a sanctuary for the family, a place for cherishing past memories and for making new.

“The family who lives here has two small girls, and more than anything they wanted a calm atmosphere … This house has a sense of air and light that really takes advantage of its setting and views, and lets the owner’s art collection shine.”

The challenge is keeping the character and history while creating a light, bright family home with all the mod cons. It’s something we share often on Desire to Inspire and this Pacific Heights, San Francisco home by Redmond Aldrich is all about bringing the house into a new century ready to face a beautiful future.

So bright, so many curves, so much attention to detail (that dining nook photo is going in the inspiration folder). I have no problem making the assertion that Paris designers have all the fun. ALWAYS.
