We don’t typically post renderings but when it’s this fabulous I’m making an exception. Utkan Gunerkan is an Istanbul-born architect based in Milan, Italy, and this bathroom and kitchen are for projects in Puerto Vallarta, my favourite place on earth. They are SO much fun and graphic and creative. If I could make these come true in my home I’d die. And I think it was meant to be seeing as I just replaced my dining room chandelier with one that is turquoise, a colour I never use.
Seattle interior designer Heidi Caillier can do no wrong. I fall in love with every project she completes. This Tudor home is no exception. At first glance the design appears fairly traditional but it does not take long to notice the touches of mid-century and the fun prints and colours used throughout that keep it fresh and youthful.

I just had to share one more kitchen from Taylor + Taylor. I love that they take a different view on what can easily be a boring white, shiny, utilitarian box for food prep. In their design hands kitchens have souls. You can see the rest of this colourful home here.
It has been quite some time since we last featured the work of Boston-based Hudson Interior Designs. A refreshing mix of patterns, textures and colours, modern melding with traditional. It’s bold and relaxed and timeless. Pure eye candy.
It’s not for everyone I will give you that. Some of you will be reaching for a paintbrush or even a contractor to rip it all out but there is a simple, rustic beauty in these rooms that really appeals to me. I love the honesty, the history, the patina of each space. As for that little kitchen … swoon! And it’s for sale (in London at London prices). The Coach House via The Modern House.
