Oh what I would do to get my hands on a home like this! Gothic revival architecture – yes please! A fireplace in the kitchen – yes please! A sunroom (with an exterior that looks like a little cottage) – yes please! Timelessly classic traditional design with a touch of modernity – yes please! Design: L.B.

I am smitten with this apartment in Minneapolis designed by Alecia Stevens. A mix of historic architecture and classic yet comfortable furnishings. This space includes a kitchen that I am head over heels in love with – lofty with stainless steel cabinets and an antique island with marble top and a really cool subway tile pattern on the walls AND has a fireplace with sitting area. It’s PERFECTION. Architecture: Andrew Hawkinson Contractor: Welch Forsman Photos: Scott Amundson

Hotel House by Powell & Glenn ingeniously transforms an unconventional structure into a family home made to last. To preserve privacy amidst urban surroundings, living areas are elevated, creating an artful ground floor reminiscent of the original heritage. Warm timber floors and airy white walls define expansive spaces, while a bar (a nod to the building’s original use) and sleek kitchen blend contrasting elements seamlessly. Throughout, a cohesive palette and natural finishes infuse comfort, shaping a welcoming atmosphere for family life.

My design idol, Henrietta Southam, has created such a magnificent oasis in her latest home here in Ottawa and just when I thought could not be more impressed with her creativity and style….well here we are. I am shook that she can make an earthy, neutral colour palette so damn sexy and sophisticated, and be so dramatic. And to be doing this from a city that has access to almost no decent design shops and in general some of the most boring and bland taste in interiors. It is what makes Henrietta so unique and inspiring. Read more about her home on Architectural Digest (!!!!). Photos: Marc Fowler of Metropolis Studio

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Law Firm by And And And Studio.
