“For artist Cindy Sherman’s triplex penthouse in the West Village, we wanted to distill the architectural envelope by utilizing a limited palette of humble materials. The boldest of these gestures, reflecting the unconventional spirit of the artist herself, was our decision to cover the walls and ceilings in a highly textured popcorn plaster that is typically associated with 1970s Midwest motels. More nuanced than the predictable white walls of a standard gallery, the plaster treatment nevertheless provides a uniform backdrop for Sherman’s extensive art collection, which encompasses everything from works by blue-chip contemporary artists to eccentric thrift-store finds. Throughout the kitchen and bedrooms, maximalist application of plaster, stainless steel, and linen ultimately imbues these quotidian materials with a kind of unpretentious luxury.”

Amazing artist, amazing home by Billy Cotton.

Here. This is where I want to be today. I’m decor daydreaming and this Cortijo (farmhouse) by Madrid-based mother and daughter interior designers Susana Beltrán and Elena Ayuso of La Californie is the perfect mix of history with a touch of modern convenience. Don’t get me started on the tiles! Beautiful.

In a town in France called Cornillé-les-Caves there is conveniently a home for sale that is comprised of two townhouses and a troglodyte (cave) house. It could use some new paint colours and an interior design overhaul but WHOA the potential this place has. It’s incredible! And can be yours for €861 000 via Karacterre.

Here’s the city house I’m stalking today, an Edwardian house on the southern edges of Epping Forrest in London. Deep greens and navy form the colour palette with a pop of pink in the kitchen. Dark, moody, eclectic and fun with 3 bedrooms and a surprisingly large city backyard. Mornington Road, London E4 for sale via Inigo.

Today I’m daydreaming about houses in England. One in the country, one in the city. This elegant Georgian country home sits on seven acres of rolling countryside and verdant garden on the outskirts of Silk Willoughby village in Lincolnshire. 5 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 3 and a half bathrooms, fireplaces aplenty, flagstones, reclaimed boards and outbuildings. A bucolic 18th century farmhouse dream and it’s for sale. You can find the link here via Inigo.
