“ERA’s interventions carefully preserved and highlighted original and historic features including the 200 year old wood beams in the dining room and a sleeping porch turned shower room, while contrasting the historic with modern finishes, furnishings and amenities. The house is now filled with warm colors, rich wood floors and has been transformed into a comfortable and unique family estate.”

An 18th-century New York farmhouse that was tactfully restored with care and consideration by Elizabeth Roberts Architects. May I just say that the sleeping porch to bathroom conversation is stunning? Country perfection.

Things are not always as they seem. A classic white-clad Hamptons exterior and inside a sophisticated urban home. Just like the two halves of interior desiner Timothy Godbold. Aussie born now Long Island-based with not only the creator of high-end design but also an author of military style in fashion. It seems that opposites attract and it results in eye-catching liveable luxury.

“Our Coopers Shoot project near Byron Bay was wish fulfilment made real for a young family of four. Our brief was to create spaces that would suit a busy family lifestyle but embrace relaxation, that would work both functionally and beautifully, and that would enhance reflection and embrace entertaining.”

Stylish, open plan living with doors flung open to a verdant landscape in one of Australia’s most beautiful coastal hinterland spots. It’s about connection to place and connections to people. Coopers Shoot by Louise Walsh.

I have been dreaming a lot lately about how I can redo my very small kitchen and this recent project by Ottawa design firm Wiseman + Cromwell is perfect inspiration. I love the chic Parisian vibe of this space and the wood, black, white and brass is so classic and timeless. Absolutely gorgeous. I’m taking notes! (Check out another of Liane’s projects here)

Whenever I think of a contemporary take on the quintessential English cottage style I think of Laura Stephens‘ designs. Bright and colourful with a deft hand at pattern mixing. I love everything she does especially her kitchens. This kitchen diner at the back of a Victorian Terrace is a celebration of English style in a small package. You can see the rest of the house here.
