A handsome detached Cotswold stone town house in the centre of Stow on the Wold. A large open plan living area with French windows and bifold doors opening on to a stone terrace with small grassed area and pergola. Bespoke painted kitchen with large dark stained wood island & unique bar area. Separate snug, office and laundry with built in dog beds and bespoke cabinetry. 7 individually designed double en suite bedrooms including magical attic room featuring 4 painted beds built in to the eaves.
I adore every inch of this house. I’m especially fond of the kitchen – it has everything! Spacious, a combination of dark and light, a beautiful bar, 2 separate islands, built-in dog nook and fire (or is that a TV playing a fire video?) Available for hire via Shoot Factory.

Nestled in the tranquil Mt. Baker National Forest, Lisa Staton‘s A-frame cabin, built in the late 1970s, has undergone a complete renovation. The space now features reclaimed oak floors replacing the original shag carpets and fresh white walls. The redesigned kitchen boasts black oak cabinets, marble countertops and an open layout, while furnishings blend New England elegance with mid-century vintage charm for a cozy, stylish retreat.

After years of disjointed renovations, this 1920s Colonial underwent a comprehensive transformation for a cookbook author and her family. Lisa Staton Interior Design reimagined the layout, moving the kitchen and main living areas to create a spacious, open space for cooking and entertaining. Inspired by East Coast residences and English country homes, the design balances openness with intimacy, ensuring the home is both inviting and cozy.

This ambitious project in the Sydney suburb of Annandale’s heritage precinct required a respectful yet contemporary transformation of the original dwelling and a complete reinvention of the rear. The primary living areas were relocated northwest for optimal light, with a steel and timber staircase elegantly dividing the space. A frameless south-lit skylight enhances the concrete soffit, filling the interior with natural light. Lime-washed plywood and detailed joinery soften the concrete. The main bedroom, surrounded by full-height glazing and an operable screen, offers an intimate, elevated sanctuary, while an integrated landscape design adds serenity. Birch Tree House by H&E.

Some people may be “over” the rustic barn/cabin vibe but when it is an actual, authentic barn and cabin I will never be over it. In this case it is the sympathetic renovation of a horse barn and pondside fishing cabin on a 200-acre estate in Sharon, Connecticut by designer Virginia Tupker. This is sooooo warm and inviting and “leave your shoes on” and “I hope the dog’s paws aren’t muddy but if they are we can just laugh about it”. Some photos: Dylan Chandler.
