Sag Harbor retreat

Posted on Thu, 2 May 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Originally constructed in the 18th century, this five bedroom residence with guest house in Sag Harbor, NY, was updated for contemporary comfort with layers of luxurious neutrals. A carefully curated mix of vintage and custom-designed pieces make a relaxing weekend retreat for crowds large and small.”

Casual luxury. Beautifully fresh and light. I’d be happy with just the guest house! Sag Habor by Anna Karlin.

Chic country style in Spain

Garnica Miguelena, a Marbella-based architecture and interior design studio has a passion to create comfortable and cozy interiors with an emphasis on detail. This townhouse in the village of La Heredia is light-filled and fresh while maintaining the traditional elements in its refurbishment. Casual yet chic living. Sophisticated country style.

Elegant bohemian

Posted on Tue, 12 Mar 2024 by KiM

My love of eclectic interiors, where old meets older and newer in an unconventional way, never waivers. (As I sit here at my desk and look to my left, there’s a reproduction 1946 George Nelson freeform sofa with 1800’s art and a 2010 Flos Aim pendant hanging over it). The Saint Paul, Minnesota home of designer Jacqueline Fortier is as eclectic as they come, in an elegant bohemian, Parisian apartment sort of way and I think it’s absolutely stunning.

An elegant discretion

Posted on Fri, 1 Mar 2024 by midcenturyjo

This Madrid home by Tristán Domecq is all about quiet luxury. With its dark timbers and liberal use of stone the lines are a contemporary riff on art deco motifs all the while respecting its historical elements such as the elaborate cornices. It may seem at times a little constrained and carefully curated then the quirkiness of the wicker chairs in the style of Chris Wolston and the feminine touch of the floral painting bring a smile to your face. Elegant, discrete with a quick flick of a smile.

More is more in this British apartment

I’m mostly posting this home for that reading nook (painted in Apple Smiles by Paint & Paper Library). I would spend all winter curled up in there with a candle, a magazine and a cup of tea. Designed by Rosanna Bossom. Photos: Mike Garlick.
