Country cottage renewal

Posted on Tue, 22 Jul 2025 by midcenturyjo

Nestled in tranquil woodland this Henley cottage has been sensitively reimagined and restored by Vaughan to honour its heritage while embracing modern comfort. Inspired by the surrounding British countryside, the interiors celebrate original features, painstakingly preserved and reimagined with a light, playful touch. Natural materials and a soft palette enhance the cottage’s warmth and charm, creating a timeless yet evolving home. Though thoroughly updated, it remains deeply rooted in its setting, a peaceful retreat for both the rhythm of daily life and the quiet of the weekend

This small holiday home, and retreat from busy city life, is all about a sense of peacefulness, very little simulation and allows for complete relaxation. I don’t know that I could live like this as a main residence but for weekends this is perfection. Minimal, soft, an emphasis on materiality, thoughtful and deliberate. Designed by CJH Studio.

A 1930s Art Deco hunting lodge near Paris

Posted on Sun, 20 Jul 2025 by KiM

On my hunt for a château to share I came across this home and it was game over. This is so incredibly cool and for some unknown reason has been for sale for many months and is still not sold. Whenever it does sell, the new owner better not touch a friggin thing! For sale via Daniel Féau for €1,975,000. (Some photos via The World of Interiors).
For Art Deco lovers, the house of the architect Pierre Petit who exhibited in 1937 at the Universal Exhibition. The house dominates its park of more than 3 hectares with tennis court, rose garden, vegetable garden, pond and garages. Very bright with high ceilings, the house is remarkable for its conservation in its original architecture on which several renowned artists have intervened such as the sculptors Jean René Debarre and Georges Guyot, the ironworker Raymond Subes and the master glassmaker and mosaicist Joseph Jean Kef Ray; many of the lights are signed Perzel. The entrance is grandiose in its verticality with its carved door and polished stucco walls, on the ground floor there is a lounge-bar and rooms formerly devoted to service. Upstairs, the kitchen opens onto a dining room that has remained intact and a double living room which opens onto a large terrace with panoramic views of the park. The upper levels serve 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, as well as a room with a billiard table. The mosaic floors are superb. The extensive park ensures the privacy of the property.

The Snug

This renovated farmhouse guesthouse by Hoedemaker Pfeiffer blends historic charm with playful sophistication. Drawing from European farmhouse traditions, the design incorporates beadboard, paneling and unlacquered brass hardware that will patina with time. Interiors feature king-size bedrooms with upscale amenities and ample storage while the living room’s colourful, upholstered furniture adds warmth and whimsy. A timeless kitchen pairs dark soapstone with crisp white cabinetry. Vintage furnishings and fresh finishes transform the space with minimal intervention and enduring character.

A classically beautiful basement kitchen

Posted on Thu, 17 Jul 2025 by KiM

I am utterly smitten with this deVOL kitchen designed by Banjo Beale. It is located in the basement of a townhouse in Bath, and despite the gorgeous cabinetry being new, many original details were maintained such as original wavy Georgian glass paned windows, chippy woodwork, panelling, doors and cupboards, stone floors and fireplace. The new cabinetry in black topped with bespoke copper worktops is divine. I could not love this more.
