Designed as a retreat away from city life, this lakeside Cape Cod-style home in Southbury, Connecticut stands in perfect harmony amidst the woods with an inimitable sense of serenity. Throughout, the home is immersed in a palette of earthy hues reminiscent of the landscape, shades of pebble grey and greens against a deep wood tone. The textile program creates continuity that flows and weaves each individual space together, gently.

I am dyinggggg over this 75 m² apartment in an 18th century building near the Palais-Royal gardens in France. Racha Gutierrez and Dahlia Hojeij Deleuze of design studio Ebur were asked to maintain original details and add a discreet dose of modernity. Stone floors, herringbone parquet were restored, doors and windows were stripped, and some antique and modern furnishings and accessories were added to make this apartment spectacular.









Colour, pattern, textiles, flea market finds and carefully curated antiques. Everything considered but nothing “precious” … except the experience. The place, the memories, the lifestyle. Family and friends, the smell of the sea and a home that holds relevance to the owners. Cape Ann Summer House by Reath Design.




























There’s something so charming, stately and old-world about Tudor homes that I just can’t get enough. This stunner in Dallas was carefully restored and updated and has such incredible features inside and out. I am in love with every single detail. Hats off to Sees Design and Maestri Studio for really doing this wonderful home justice. Photos: Studio-Woodstock & Jenifer McNeil Baker.




















Taking advantage of Southern California’s ideal weather and lush gardens by bringing those vibes inside in this redesigned home by Peter Dunham. There’s a sense of elegance but casual at the same time. And I am smitten with the little potting shed space that was created under the poolhouse stairs. Photos: Sam Frost.
