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. Good Body Hair Salon by Homework.

Colourful cottagecore in a Michigan home

Posted on Fri, 23 Feb 2024 by KiM

This new-build home in Harbor Springs, Michigan is about as pretty as can be, and very feminine. With a backdrop of mostly white shiplap, each space is accented with colour and pattern in a super fun and maximalist way. Cottagecore and vintage auntie vibes with a bit of coastal thrown into the mix. I’d be smiling ear to ear walking through this home.

I’m always talking about attention to detail and how in awe I am of the skill of designers to layer to many elements in a space that it feels like your brain may explode (in a good way). There is a lot going on in the Indianapolis home of designer Tiffany Skilling and I really REALLY love it. Each space is like a jewel box full of treasures. The kitchen is a prime example. A mural type wallpaper with a fairly bold marble is a little shocking at first but layered they really compliment each other…and then you walk around the corner into a pantry and bar area, and around the other corner another butler’s pantry? I’m dying. I applaud her unique style and brave approach to elegant maximalism. Photos: Sarah Shields.

This full gut renovation in Dallas celebrates the original build while accommodating the needs of contemporary living. With its confident use of colour and an emphasis on deco details, the design draws on its Art Deco roots. Clean lines, period pieces, light pouring in through metal framed windows. It all adds up to a fabulous blend of past and present. Beverly Drive, Highland Park by Avery Cox Design.

Tropical vibes in a Kansas City Georgian home

Posted on Tue, 13 Feb 2024 by KiM

Seems a little far-fetched to take a traditional Georgian home, in Kansas City, and inject tropical and Oriental style, including many wallpapers and colours and patterned textiles in abundance, and have it look incredible. But Stephanie Woodmansee of Connecticut-based Henry & Co Design created magic in this home and there is so much to take in. Layer upon layer of fabulous decor. And that sunroom…*swoon*.
