Brook Green family house

Posted on Mon, 10 Mar 2025 by midcenturyjo

“A former bedsit, completely overhauled to function as a five bedroom family home across three floors. The client’s brief was ‘relaxed, playful, timeless and colourful’ which could grow as they grew as a family. Working closely with the client, Architect Studio McLeod, and lighting Designer Studio Stileman, we formed a totally new layout which incorporated every functional requirement but with a playful twist.”

Fabulous use of colour, pattern and texture. Layered with antiques and beautiful textiles. A fun, fresh and stylish family home by Natasha Quick.

Perfectly Picardy

Posted on Wed, 5 Mar 2025 by KiM

We were given the opportunity to turn a beige and brown historic country house into a cheerful and welcoming forever home for one of our very favorite families. We tended to the deferred maintenance first and once all of that was sorted, we made small but significant architectural changes like removing the small wooden and shingled little porch stoop cover and replacing it with a cheerful striped awning and draperies, opening up the living room fire box to its original glorious size and dressing it in a French carved stone surround, hung crystal chandeliers, installed gas lanterns, and hung a sixteen foot tall custom made rose trellis, and window boxes every place we could fit them. When it comes to the project, we lovingly referred to as #perfectlypicardy it could be said that we have a ruthlessly edited more is more aesthetic choosing layers of chintz, plush pink mohair, tufted everything and multiple bar carts stocked to entertain all summer long…

Each uniquely designed room creates a vibrant yet sophisticated atmosphere, turning everyday spaces into thoughtfully curated decor. The result is a harmonious blend of warmth, energy and timeless refinement.

Working on a Saturday

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. Comma Bath House and Day Spa, Byron Bay by Duet.

An East Hampton home oozing with charm

Posted on Fri, 21 Feb 2025 by KiM

Designer Heidi Caillier does it again with her layering of pattern and colour magic, in this East Hampton home that is an absolute vintage-vibing delight. If ever you thought there could be a case of too many patterns, or using too many different colours in a home, let Heidi school you on how wrong you are. Photos: Haris Kenjar.
