“This classic Californian, ranch-style home harkens to the simple charm of family living. The house was remodeled in the late 2000s, however, we admired the sweeping, seasoned architecture of the original Gerard Colcord home. So, we initiated renovations to tone down the modern elements and restore the place to its natural state. The result is an open, amicable, and limitless space with potential for exploration.”

A resounding love for textiles and old school craftsmanship is evident throughout Christina‘s sophisticated yet refined spaces. Her layered mix of clean and contemporary with eclectic and antique results in projects that feel authentic, intentional and curated over time. Having lived in both New York and London, those experiences informed her bold design eye and exposed her to the world of art, fashion and European interiors. Known for her playful sensibility, the most pivotal part of Christina’s aesthetic is a fusion of elegance with livability.
Beautiful space. I am dying over that massive kitchen with the brick stove surround in the middle. WHOA.

“Thoughtfully balancing luxury and restraint, Hyland Street delivers a lifestyle-driven residence tailored to its compact, inner-suburban site. Beyond a sculpted facade of hit-and-miss brickwork, the new residence embraces deft planning and a restrained material palette to enhance scale and connection.

Upon entry, views are dramatically cast across a narrow reflection pool to the property’s rear boundary, guiding movement and lending a feeling of generosity. A central sunken lounge, complete with a suspended fireplace and multi-use plinth, offers a layered setting to entertain or unwind. Beyond, a timber-lined kitchen is anchored by a scooped, blush-onyx bench – a natural gathering place to socialise and dine, opening laterally to the pool and courtyard.

Ascending the timber-lined stairs, the home’s private zones embrace a soothing tone with elemental forms and curved profiles elevating domestic rituals. Finely crafted timber joinery, tactile finishes and subtle embellishments impart a calm cohesion throughout – a relaxed ambience, emphasised by an intimate rooftop terrace with expansive views across Melbourne’s city skyline.”

This family home in Nashville was designed by April Tomlin and exudes warmth and character and cozy cottage vibes from every corner. I am completely smitten with the European-style kitchen AND the working pantry AND the entertaining kitchen off the pool area. So much kitchen-y goodness to fall head over heels for!

Rosetta, built in the 1920s, has started a new chapter in its legacy. Adhering to heritage restrictions, its latest owners harmoniously blend old and new, balancing preservation with connectivity. The interior, spacious and embracing, echoes the past while embracing a muted, welcoming ambience. Georgian influences echo in the exterior’s original pink hue and restored details, preserving its essence within the original structure. An underground addition expands family space, prioritizing flexibility and harmony with the garden. Rosetta embodies sustainability, integrating vintage pieces, natural light, and ventilation, preserving its narrative while embracing ecological consciousness.
