Old world charm in California

Posted on Thu, 7 Jul 2022 by KiM

Amber Sokolowski and Linette Dai of Soko Dai Design Studio took a 1950s home in Torrance, California that was a 90’s remodel gone bad, and created a magical home with old world charm. It’s classic and elegant and timeless. (Photography: Sara Tramp)

“Warmth and charm were infused into this 1790’s farm by clearly defining the personality of every room – yet having small moments of connection to make the home feel complete. We worked with the home’s existing floor plan to maintain the historical character and updated all the finishes, paint colors and furnishings so it’s liveable but not too precious.”

A celebration of pattern and colour, bespoke and antique, this home is packed with personality and history. It’s about welcoming family and friends and overstuffed comfort for all, about cottage living mixed with modern conveniences. Historic Farm by Cameron Ruppert.

Colour in a Berlin Townhouse

Posted on Tue, 28 Jun 2022 by midcenturyjo

A little antidote to all the beige on beige interiors that are dominating interiors at the moment. Blue and blush, pops of green, red and yellows this fun family home is packed with colour. Yes, there are colourful walls but most is introduced through furniture and soft furnishings, particularly the curtains. All so achievable even in a rental.

Here’s the city house I’m stalking today, an Edwardian house on the southern edges of Epping Forrest in London. Deep greens and navy form the colour palette with a pop of pink in the kitchen. Dark, moody, eclectic and fun with 3 bedrooms and a surprisingly large city backyard. Mornington Road, London E4 for sale via Inigo.

An eclectic Hamptons beach house

Posted on Thu, 23 Jun 2022 by KiM

A reasonable dose of blue and graphic patterns make this Hamptons beach quintessentially beachy and lively, designed by Carlos David. According to this 1stDibs feature the home once flooded when the homeowners were away one Christmas and it provided them the excuse/opportunity to do what became an almost complete transformation (90% of the furnishings were destroyed and all the walls, floors, and ceilings were completely saturated – even the windows had to be replaced). The result is eclectic and bright and perfect for Hamptons summer living. (Photos: Read McKendree)
