Dismantling a 1754 cow barn and transforming the timbers into a magnificent great room. The house was oriented to capture the view of the ancient crab apple tree, sensitively sited to work with the barn and tucked into a natural curve of the landscape.
What is frankly my dream home, located in Ancram, New York. That weathered wood façade is everything. The more rustic the better. Designed by Di Biase Filkoff Architects.

Loving every bit of this historic captain’s house in Sag Harbor by Winter McDermott Design. It is neutral, sophisticated and a bit austere, which really draws your eye to the architectural details of the home. And those wood floors…..I’ve dreamt of floors like that for soooo many years.

In need of more space for their growing family, the buyers of this typical spec home on Chicago’s northside immediately fell in love, seeing through to its hidden potential.  Working fast to obscure more commonplace features, the house was reimagined with a striking palate of deep saturated neutrals, richly textured finishes & fabrics, one-of-a-kind lighting and a diverse, multi-dimensional collection of modern art. Michael Del Piero taking bland and basic and making it anything but. I love that she painted out the trim and windows in most rooms.

Sculptural furniture, cozy fabrics, contrasting dark and light, a bit monastic, very textural….. what comes to mind when devouring these spaces designed by Trevor Cheney.

Dave is a longtime reader of our blog and recently wrote us to share his absolutely incredible Montréal loft with us, that he had torn down to the studs and completely renovated in 2018. Unfortunately he now has to sell it but wanted to share it with us before he leaves. A bit of info about it: 15ft ceilings, exposed brisk, 2 gas fireplaces, 2+1 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, living space of 1760 sq ft and a mezzanine of 900 sq ft, private roof top terrace 21′ x 34′. Dane not included 😉
WOW!!!! I am totally smitten. This loft has EVERYTHING. Thank you Dave for sharing your home with us!
A few before photos to show you the extent of the work that was done…

In the event you are in the market for the loft of your dreams, here is the listing.
