Designer Jean Ross of Row Design Studio gut renovated this 1916 Toronto dwelling with help of her husband. What was once a dark and gloomy outdated home became a bright and charming, vintage filled space with some cool original character and some great DIY projects. Photos: Kiely Ramos.

I’ll always have a place in my heart for mid-century homes – all that wood and windows and sloped ceilings. This gem in Los Gatos, California is fabulously retro and so very cool thanks to designer Cathie Hong who created this welcoming home for herself and her family (including 4 children). I particularly love the music/guest room/playroom and that fabulous built-in storage cabinet in the most glorious olive green (Farrow & Ball’s Bancha). Photos: Margaret Austin

The project involved architects AB Design Studio collaborating with Tamara Honey, founder of House of Honey, to transform a modest 1950s wood cabin nestled in a rock quarry between the Santa Barbara foothills and the Santa Ynez mountains. Surrounded by massive boulders, the single-story home now features an expanded wrap-around wood deck. A central hallway connects the updated kitchen and living areas to a spacious new master suite. Named Honey House, the design captures the area’s artistic and Zen heritage—once home to bohemian poets, writers, and artists—by preserving original features and incorporating reclaimed stone found on the property.

“This Victorian end of terrace townhouse underwent a full renovation across five storeys. It included the reconfiguration of the first floor to create a master suite, complete with walk in wardrobe and generous ensuite bathroom. There is bespoke joinery throughout the house including a home bar in the basement cinema and DJ room. With a focus on natural materials, paired with metal, the spaces are rich and have depth. The furniture and lighting strategy was to combine vintage and antique pieces with contemporary items, finding the perfect balance between old and new.”
