Designer Jean Ross of Row Design Studio gut renovated this 1916 Toronto dwelling with help of her husband. What was once a dark and gloomy outdated home became a bright and charming, vintage filled space with some cool original character and some great DIY projects. Photos: Kiely Ramos.

The project involved architects AB Design Studio collaborating with Tamara Honey, founder of House of Honey, to transform a modest 1950s wood cabin nestled in a rock quarry between the Santa Barbara foothills and the Santa Ynez mountains. Surrounded by massive boulders, the single-story home now features an expanded wrap-around wood deck. A central hallway connects the updated kitchen and living areas to a spacious new master suite. Named Honey House, the design captures the area’s artistic and Zen heritage—once home to bohemian poets, writers, and artists—by preserving original features and incorporating reclaimed stone found on the property.

“This Victorian end of terrace townhouse underwent a full renovation across five storeys. It included the reconfiguration of the first floor to create a master suite, complete with walk in wardrobe and generous ensuite bathroom. There is bespoke joinery throughout the house including a home bar in the basement cinema and DJ room. With a focus on natural materials, paired with metal, the spaces are rich and have depth. The furniture and lighting strategy was to combine vintage and antique pieces with contemporary items, finding the perfect balance between old and new.”

I am having a tough time wrapping my brain around this being a “entertainment barn” and not the actual residence. I’d be entertaining the crap out of this space if it were mine. The kitchen is perfectly dark and dreamy and I’d enjoy the best naps up on those second level bed nooks. Rumson barn in coastal New Jersey designed by Ursino Interiors.

“A colourful, inspirational, and deeply personal family home set over four floors in a Notting Hill terrace for a lovely and creative young family. The traditional country house vernacular has been toughened up and given a little edge with an explosion of colour, pattern and a scattering of contemporary furniture and fittings.”
