Sam Sacks Design

Posted on Tue, 5 Nov 2024 by KiM

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.

A joyous celebration of colour

Posted on Mon, 4 Nov 2024 by midcenturyjo

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.

Posted on Sun, 3 Nov 2024 by KiM

15th century manor, family property located in a calm and luxuriant environment of approximately 1,580m2 on 10 hectares. Main house composed of an entrance, kitchen, living room and lounge with fireplace, a small lounge with fireplace, 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. A converted Dovecote with 1 bedroom with its bathroom. Reception room with pantry/kitchen, storage rooms, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. A studio with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, living room with kitchenette. House converted into a Gîte with kitchen, living room with fireplace and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and veranda giving the garden a nice mix of old and modern. Vaulted chapel dating from the 14th century enclosed in the main building and a magnificent landscaped garden with century-old trees. A pond and a swimming pool facing the forest. Shed of 20mx16m. Wine cellar.
The exterior of this home had me sold, and then the original stone, beams, fireplaces and tile floors seal the deal. I WISH! For sale via Kretz for €1,220,000.

House of Rolison‘s latest project is a stunning transformation of a 1950s Bel Air home. Amanda and Taylor, known for their celebrity-favoured design work have taken a once dark and outdated house, with closed-off rooms and a dysfunctional flow and been created a luxurious, elevated space while preserving its historic charm. Furnished with pieces from Olive Ateliers, West Elm and Vetsak the home features exquisite details like a black marble shower, a sauna and a beautiful outdoor space perfect for entertaining. See more of their work here.

Designer’s own

Posted on Thu, 31 Oct 2024 by midcenturyjo

Littlewood Residence, home to GOLDEN co-founder Alicia and her family, is a masterful blend of design and collaboration. The space is both functional and warm with thoughtful details tailored for a young family. Natural materials add depth, while subtle design creates moments of intrigue. The use of colour and warmth is balanced, never overwhelming and intricate craftsmanship enhances the overall quality, reflecting GOLDEN’s signature timeless style and lasting originality.
