This deep and deliciously renovated home was transformed from modern farmhouse to something more timeless (and darker colours yessssss) and required the reuse of some pretty sweet existing pieces the owner already had. I adore how moody and not-so-trendy this home is, and I’m feeling the sort of old world gentlemen’s club elements. Anything beats modern farmhouse, amiright?

Located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the home was inspired by a playful, comfortable take on Colonial simplicity. Highlights include multiple handmade wallpapers, including a textured recycled newsprint in the main stair hall. Lots of bright light, some patterns and hits of colour, with the addition of some vintage elements makes this home exuberant and effortlessly casual and inviting. Another wonderful project designed by Jessica Stambaugh of JS Interiors.

“Sun-drenched Miami inspires a tropical theme. This home lives in one of the world’s most vivid cities. Its landscape comprises lush, languorous palms; coconut groves; vibrant red-orange firebush flowers; coral limestone; golden sands; azure skies and sapphire ocean. Textural natural materials, such as copper and unfilled limestone, are juxtaposed for visual interest. While the contrast is felt, the effect is subtle. A collection of contemporary art by artists with ties to Miami brings a contrasting vibrant energy to the historic architecture.”

This Litchfield, Connecticut guest house is the cutest little thing! It’s got country cottage vibes and really soothing shades of blue. I found details about this sweet pad you can check out here. Designed by Studio Dorion.

Interior designer Marta de La Rica calls it a taste of calm where traditional meets contemporary. This Madrid apartment is an ode to beauty with an emphasis on colour, texture, fabrics and craft. The painted walls and chandelier in the living room bring a sense of whimsy as does the shell-encrusted bathroom vanity. Chic European living but with Spanish roots.
