We restored a largely intact Victorian house, paying special attention to its rich history. The interior decoration reflects how the house might have been decorated at the time of its construction, featuring damask and chinoiserie wallcoverings, as well as antique furniture from various European aesthetic movements. Colorful Saint-Louis crystal chandeliers evoke the period’s grandeur. To introduce a modern edge, we incorporated moody tones, an intense shade of black, and some high-gloss finishes, blending past with present.
Designer Billy Cotton is a man after my heart. This home is soooo exquisitely restored and such an exceptional example of blending Victorian lavishness with contemporary refinement. I might have teared up a bit when I found these photos. Homes like this move me like no others can. Photos: Brett Wood.

Prospect Refuge is a multi-disciplinary design studio with a love for capturing the character of each place and turning it into something fresh and inspiring. With a Midwestern lens, they bring thoughtful design to historic neighbourhoods and homes across the U.S. and beyond. After a decade in commercial design, fouder Victoria Sass launched the studio, returning to the intimate, personal spaces that first sparked her passion.

This Haussmannian apartment of 147 m² in Paris’ 17th arrondissement was completely redesigned by interior architect Hava Castro. It is bright and cocooning, perfect for a family and the pretty sage green in the foyer, kitchen and bathroom is the perfect shade of serenity. I love the modernity of this space but how the curves, colours and lighting really soften and and add a level of comfort (especially with that Roche Bobois bubble sofa).

A historic Connecticut home originally built in the 1830s along the Silvermine River, The Basket House was once a working basketmaker’s workshop. Moore House Design reimagined the residence for Brunch with Babs, blending heritage craftsmanship with modern livability across a comprehensive renovation and restoration.The project scope included a full kitchen and pantry redesign, new dining and living spaces, custom tilework, and handcrafted finishes throughout. Signature details — including woven latticework, hand-painted tiles, and bespoke plaster treatments — celebrate the home’s artisanal roots while creating a warm, inviting foundation for everyday life.
The decor here leans much more traditional than we’re used to seeing from MHD, and I am really loving how they leaned into it with lots of sage green and elements of nature. It includes the prettiest and most funtional European style kitchen, a moody great room, a former greenhouse turned dining room, lattice embellished breakfast nook… Photos: Jared Kuzia; Styling: Jennlilly Mckeon.

Blending warmth and natural beauty with organic materials and a neutral palette, this home features rich wood elements and subtle stone veining, balanced by soft textures and modern lighting to create a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.
I had to share another project by Storie Collective, because this kitchen is a pure eye candy. It’s so simple and neutral and perfectly functional, and the gorgeous banquette situation is where you’d find me working, reading, eating, hanging. Photos: Stacy Zarin Goldberg.
