A 1940s Neoclassical townhouse in Buenos Aires

Posted on Wed, 20 Sep 2023 by KiM

This four-story, 1940s townhouse is located in a Beaux Arts building in Buenos Aires and has such a beautiful neoclassical façade, with pilasters and decorative ironwork. Inside you will find a marble floor in a grand foyer (that transforms into an entry gallery/reception space_, a multi-level curved staircase, a lower level entertaining room with an impressive wine cellar, a backyard that is perfect for gatherings…. It is quite the party pad! Designed by Stephania Kallos and Abigail Turin of Kallos Turin, based in London and San Francisco. Photos: Ricardo Labougle

The owners of this semi-detached home in Dublin, Ireland approached interior design studio (and interior + lifestyle store) April and the Bear to refresh and modernize their dated and boring family home. The design team refurbished most rooms and injected some personality with new paint and wallpaper, bespoke furniture and wall beading, new carpets, curtains, furniture and lighting. The result is very much family-friendly, provides lots of storage, has a really “now” vibe and is a huge improvement from what they started with. They sent over before and after photos so you can see just how transformed these spaces are. Check it out! (Photos: Philip Lauterbach)

Simple clean lines, painted floors, unpretentious furniture (except for the iconic 60s Joe Colombo “Tube” chair in the dark broody den) all spell out relaxed beach chic in Montauk. Studio Robert McKinley has done it again with another fabulous bungalow in their portfolio. If you dream of a relaxed beach getaway it’s for rent here.

A masterful collaboration

Posted on Wed, 13 Sep 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Assisting a creative and accomplished design professional like Ryan Hughes with his personal residence involves a collaboration unlike any of our commercial projects. Ryan was the design decision maker and force behind this strong and beautiful home. We acted as sounding board, and documented the ideas he envisioned for finishes and interior architecture. Ryan chose all furnishings and art throughout. His goal to have a “simple cottage getaway” is energized by his choices throughout: confident furniture shapes, rich colors, and an expressive collection of art. Located in the Mado Hamlet in the Serenbe community, this little powerhouse of a cottage is an intimate gathering place and getaway since 2020.”

It may be a simple cottage getaway but it’s a masterful collaboration. Impactful and creative the Hughes Residence by Smith Hanes.

A spruced up 19th-century cottage in Utah

Posted on Tue, 12 Sep 2023 by KiM

This lovingly restored cottage built by Scandinavian pioneers in the mid-19th-century is located in Spring City, Utah and was spruced up and now oozes with charm thanks to designer Meta Coleman. Bold textiles like the Josef Frank covered sofa, pretty wall colours and wallpaper (also Josef Frank) make this such a welcoming cottage.
