Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 29 Mar 2025 by midcenturyjo

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on the weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Café Petriole by DUELLE.

Art, space and materiality

Posted on Fri, 28 Mar 2025 by midcenturyjo

Designed by J.Kidman Architects with interiors by Golden and Studio Tali Roth, this Melbourne home is a quiet yet powerful expression of art and spatial refinement. Rooted in Belgian minimalism, an elemental colour story and tactile layering create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Sculptural furniture, curated artworks and striking materiality shape a living experience akin to encountering a great piece of art. A reimagined spatial plan prioritizes northern light with interconnected volumes framing outdoor spaces. The result is a residence that transcends trends, evoking timelessness, contemplation and an intimate dialogue between form, texture and function.

Shane & Pierce is the recent joint venture of LA based designer Evan Shane Krenzien and Dallas-based developer Pierce Jordan. It seems these two talented guys got together to work on Pierce’s Normandy inspired home he built (designed by architect Juan Carlos deLeon) and it was such a success they decided to work together on more projects. I can see why – this home feels modern but has an old-world flavour to it and a warmth that is so welcoming. That kitchen is giving Tuscan vibes and the morning room is a dream. Also, marble wainscotting?!?! I am smitten with it all. Photos: Michael P. H. Clifford; Styling: Shelley Warkentin.

Designing for connection

Posted on Wed, 26 Mar 2025 by midcenturyjo

“We love people…bringing family together is the reason we design homes. We set a stage for memories – it’s a stage made of emotion more than color and texture. We strive to curate a feeling, not just achieve an aesthetic. Our work goes beyond what the eye can see. We impact how people remember their families and how they celebrate life’s joys. 

Homes are for being: being a family, being hospitable, being there to love one another. The home is a sacred space. We work tirelessly on behalf of our friends to help them carve out their own piece of hallowed ground in this beautiful life. It is a rare and special privilege to share such a powerful gift.”

Knotty pine is fine

Posted on Mon, 24 Mar 2025 by midcenturyjo

There I said it. Actually, knotty pine is not just fine it’s fabulous. Take an interesting 70s home, play to its strengths and celebrate the wooden interiors. Add only touches of black and white, streamline the furnishings and BAM! you have a stylish country getaway without bringing out the can of white paint. Belleayre A-Frame in Highmont, NY by BHDM.
