Studio Dearborn redesigned this kitchen for a longtime friend, reworking the layout to create a space that’s both highly functional and visually inviting. Inspired by European cafés and an antique green and gold stool, the kitchen features elegant built-in cabinetry and a warm, layered palette. The result is a timeless design that was well worth the wait.

After years of neglect and poorly conceived remodels, a 1920s residence in New Jersey’s pastoral Horse Country required a full gut. The interior was conceived to be true to the home’s original period but mindful of modern lifestyles. This involved designing all of the interior architecture including moldings, fireplaces, baths and kitchen, even relocating a staircase. The home was then outfitted with comfortable furnishings in keeping with its country setting.
Horse country? I’m already won over. This home though is the icing on the cake in a setting like that, with it’s casual sophistication and touches of elegance and at the same time utilitarianism. Is there a doorway that fits a horse though…. Design: Michael Aiduss Studio; Photos: Ellen McDermott; Styling: Anthony Santelli.
















I am smitten with this country home in Gent, Belgium designed by Joris Van Apers. The rustic charm, the use of colours and textured walls, that kitchen is a DREAM and I want stone floors, particularly in the kitchen, more than anything. Rustic and timeworn wins out with me 100% of the time. Photos: Michael Paul Photography.












This spacious Louisiana lake house by TIEK BYDAY was designed as a welcoming haven for an extended family, comfortably sleeping 32 across ten bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Rooted in traditional Acadian architecture, the home features generous communal areas, a large kitchen and a refined bar, all oriented toward lake-view porches for easy indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtfully layered with cozy nooks, alcove beds and deep seating, the design balances grandeur with warmth, making it perfect for gathering, relaxing and entertaining.

This striking 1930s villa on Marseille’s Corniche Kennedy has been reimagined by Dorothée Delayeas as a soulful retreat where Mediterranean views meet a 1970s spirit. The design preserves the home’s soul while introducing a fresh, contemporary touch. The interiors are all about light and texture while curated vintage pieces meet bold artworks. With layered terraces and a garden immersed in Mediterranean flora the house feels like a luminous, personal escape in the heart of the city.
