With offices in California and Massachusetts, Katie Martinez Design respects a space’s history and architecture while incorporating timeless design elements. For the 1740 Ripley Residence, the firm led a full renovation and expansion, collaborating with the owners to introduce rich layers of colour and pattern. They sourced primarily vintage and handcrafted pieces and designed the cabinetry, bathrooms and finishes with thoughtful attention to detail.

What a joy it must be for interior designer Stephanie Barba Mendoza to come home to this after a long day at work. Her northwest London home is filled with the most beautiful colours and patterns, and I had to start with the kitchen/dining space because WOW this combination of a leafy wallpaper (Marly by Colony) and peachy/pink paint colour (Sweet Briar by Morris & Co) and those gorgeous green tiles and marble counter…. what a treat! The orange living room walls (Dutch Orange by Edward Bulmer) carries the warmth through to the other side of the house. I am completely smitten with this. Photos: Kensington Leverne.
















A quintessential California Spanish home renovated for a young family and their dog, Lady. When the clients purchased the house much of its character had been stripped. Through rehabilitation and restoration, the residence now celebrates the historical qualities of Spanish Colonial architecture while introducing a quiet sense of modernity. Relaxed and warm, the furnishings feel natural within the environment and reflect the vibrance of their young family.
I love the cream coloured walls juxtaposed with the dark furnishings, the dining room floor is SO GOOD and all that wood in the kitchen makes it so cozy! Designed by Meghan Eisenberg. Photos: Haris Kenjar.











The Washington, Connecticut Farmhouse, built in 1783, underwent a meticulous restoration to preserve its historic character. Carefully dismantled and reassembled, the structure was updated with energy-efficient systems while maintaining original features like three staircases and reclaimed oak floors. A modest kitchen addition complemented the historic design, while the restored brick chimney and period details created a warm, layered interior blending antiques with vintage and contemporary furnishings.
