“This abandoned shed in the middle of 18 acres had endless charm and character. We worked with this rustic charm and remote wooded location and juxtaposed it with a clean minimal Scandinavian-inspired design for dramatic effect.”

It’s all about contrast in this gut renovation of a cabin in the woods by Stewart-Schafer, contrast of wild forest and clean, minimalist interiors, of rustic versus modern living, dark versus light. It’s also about unity, of the Douglas fir used inside mirroring the surrounding firs, of a wall of windows bringing inside and out together. I’d happily get lost in the woods if I knew I would stumbled across this charming cabin.

My dreams about moving out to the country and having lots of land and a farmhouse look something like this. Pehrses farm was built in 1853, is on 2.05 hectares with several outbuildings and located in Hälsinglands, Sweden. It has many historic, original details like several tiled stoves, wood floors, wallpaper, rafters etc. Absolutely gorgeous. This home is available for sale via Historika Hem.

Last year I shared a glimpse of the château/farmhouse of designer Pierre Yovanovitch in Fabrègues, Provence. I came across more photos (by Julien Oppenheim and Jerome Galland) that I thought were a must-share. This home is jaw-droppingly beautiful inside and out and I don’t even know what more to say other than WHAT A DREAM!

Pared-back, carefully curated and immediately welcoming. The restrained colour palette is elevated by the layering of texture and natural materials. Timeless, elegant, comfortable. Mandeville Canyon by Caroline Irvin Davis.

I love the juxtaposition of rustic and  modern, of contemporary luxury and almost monastic stone walls. While preserving the old stone house’s character by repairing and maintaining the external walls, the interiors of this country house in Spain’s Galacia is light filled, sleek and modern … well almost.
