A charming home in Brooklyn

Posted on Wed, 1 Nov 2023 by KiM

This Greenpoint, Brooklyn home is a little bit modern but is definitively giving allllllll the quaint vintage vibes at the same time with its yellow kitchen (Farrow & Ball’s India Yellow), pink powder room, retro tiles, the sweetest bed nook and other charming touches.

Sophistication in a bucolic setting

Posted on Tue, 31 Oct 2023 by midcenturyjo

Nestled on 85 acres in Queenstown New Zealand, Speargrass House seamlessly combines rustic charm with practical elegance for a lively family with four boys. Embracing its natural surroundings, the house boasts mountain views of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak. A palette of blues, saffron, and silvery greys mirrors the expansive sky and rocky landscapes. Stone features prominently, adorning walls, floors, and fireplaces. European oak floors and custom maple joinery elements bring warmth. Speargrass House interiors by Sydney-based Arent & Pyke.

Tree Island

Posted on Fri, 27 Oct 2023 by midcenturyjo

Tree Island defies limitations, transforming its compact-sized house into a unique family home. Measuring just four and a half meters wide, the home cleverly rises against a neighbouring warehouse conversion, maximizing vertical space. A central, light-filled void connects living areas and hosts a thriving fig tree. A courtyard and rear garden offer tranquillity and practicality, while a hidden roof terrace provides a private retreat. This home ingeniously incorporates natural light, greenery, and expansive living spaces, turning constraints into design advantages. By Sydney-based Carter Williamson.

A colourful Provençal farmhouse (from 2001)

Posted on Thu, 26 Oct 2023 by KiM

After some random searches I ended up finding this House & Garden article that was from 2001 featuring what was once the Provence farmhouse of Maxime de la Falaise and Sarah St George, and I had to share because ah mah gawddddd. This home has such a brightness, and lovely features such as the tilework throughout, lots of sunflower-yellow walls, large fireplace in the dining area, beautiful textiles in every room and WOW – the sitting room used to be a barn! I am absolutely in love with the stained glass marquise hung over the stove. Storing that one away in my inspiration folder (but as if I could find one in the wild). Photos: Tim Clinch.

A Venice-comes-to-Camden apartment

Posted on Thu, 26 Oct 2023 by KiM

Back in 2019 I featured the Camden apartment of Luke Edward Hall and Duncan Campbell that was a very colourful combination of mostly green and pink and I fell in love with it. A few years later and maybe a few iterations later, their apartment now has a whole new “Venice” vibe (though still with shades of green and pink). Lots of graphic wallpaper. dark textiles, faux marble, a bold red kitchen topped with a pediment and urns, a lush fabric-laden bedroom make this version of their apartment so much moodier and by far my favourite.
