“Framed by the oak-lined banks of the Fowl River, the aptly-named River House project is a celebration of its locale. Working with local artisans and builders, this home was designed with the clients’ love of entertaining in mind. Traditional camp-inspired elements like wood paneling, layered furnishings, and nostalgic patterns are balanced by modern millwork and a calm color palette. A bar bridges old and new structures while becoming the perfect place to pour drinks for guests piled into the Great Room for Saints kickoff. Custom banquets along either side of the fireplace conceal drawers full of board games and stash firewood for fall evenings. Easy and comfortable, nothing feels too precious as guests move seamlessly from a day on the water and onto the porch for a late night ping-pong match.”
Logan Killen Interiors work with historic structures, considering architecture, location and era, blending antiques with vintage and contemporary furnishings for a holistic and elevated design.

Meet West Studio meticulously remodelled this 1960s midcentury bungalow in Fayetteville, Arkansas, transforming it into a modern retreat while honouring its original charm. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the home’s restoration addressed structural issues and revealed hidden details. Warm, feminine touches define the space: a jewel-box kitchen with brass finishes, restored wood-panelled walls, bold quartzite accents and creamy limewash walls. Vintage lighting and unique furnishings bring character to each room creating a personalized, sophisticated haven.

Interior design in Canada is often questionable, in my humble opinion. Every once in a while a designer comes along that seems to truly have skills and is able to create magazine worthy spaces. Toronto based Sam Sacks is one of them. She’s so good I almost had to split this into two posts but managed to edit the photos down to share my favourites. Some photos: Lauren Miller.
Located on one of the most iconic streets in San Miguel de Allende, Casa Coa blends eclectic styles with a warm, captivating colour palette. Inspired by snake motifs in the original architecture, Maye Ruiz of the eponymous MAYE embraced this theme to create an environment that echoes the natural landscapes of fields and shrubs. Green tones harmonize with red, pink, and burgundy, creating a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere with handcrafted pieces and regional materials. I especially love her collaboration with Mestiz.
