Far from the basic shelters built for farm labourers on large estates this bothy was the charming home of interior designer John Tanner. Maximalist and traditional in style the tiny cottage shows that small space living does not need to be pared back and sterile. Beautiful, individual and dramatic.

I received a new book recently that just launched a few days ago and I wanted to share with. I’m soooo excited about it! Rebecca Atwood’s first book, Living with Pattern, was such a fabulous read, and a beautiful coffee table book, and her latest, Living with Color, is a dream and a perfect addition to the first. …textile designer Rebecca Atwood explains how to create a color palette, teaching readers to find what resonates with their personal aesthetic and bring the magic of color into their homes. In her first book, Living with Pattern, Rebecca demystified how to conceptualize and feature pattern in your home designs. Now in Living with Color, she delivers another definitive style guidebook that is both an aspirational design showcase and a highly readable, attainable how-to. Rebecca starts with the basics, such as complementary colors, the color wheel, and choosing your personal palette, then explains how to pair groups of colors room by room, showing all aspects of color design from walls to throw pillows. The book is filled with stunning photography of real homes around the country that beautifully display color in layers, patterns, and use. This book is eye candy from start to finish with photos by Sharon Radisch and honestly, had I not been sent a review copy I would have ordered one immediately. I highly advise you treat yourselves and order a copy (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target) 🙂

I love seeing how designers live. Case in point, the converted East London warehouse of Rachel Chudley. Her creativity and love of textures, colours and patterns in completely random pairings makes her home an absolutely feast for the eyes. (Photos: Paul Massey)

The Brooklyn home of designer Delia Kenza (that she shares with her 2 daughters and artist and choreographer husband Júlio Leitão) is…everything. Absolutely breathtaking original features are paired with modern features like a sleek kitchen and jaw dropping black stained chevron hardwood floors. Add in lots of unique art by Júlio and other artists and ethnic accessories and you have the most eclectic and unique home filled with whimsy and character.

While I am on she-shed painting hell day 3 of 4, please enjoy the beautiful eclectic home of interior and landscape designer Celia Gómez Puerta and her family, located in the outskirts of Madrid. Her love of graphic prints and photography art make me an instant fan. Via Nuevo Estilo. (Photos: Patricia Gallego)
