Today I’m daydreaming about houses in England. One in the country, one in the city. This elegant Georgian country home sits on seven acres of rolling countryside and verdant garden on the outskirts of Silk Willoughby village in Lincolnshire. 5 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 3 and a half bathrooms, fireplaces aplenty, flagstones, reclaimed boards and outbuildings. A bucolic 18th century farmhouse dream and it’s for sale. You can find the link here via Inigo.

“The brief. Transform a rare freestanding 1890s Italianate style terrace house in Sydney’s Inner West into a three level home combining the delight of a warm, contemporary aesthetic with the flexibility and robustness required for the changing needs of family life. A respect for the heritage of the original features is paramount as is creating a connection between the interior living spaces and the outside terrace and garden.”

A joyous, light-filled house celebrating the home’s history and future. It’s neutral palette and natural materials are the perfect are beautifully matched by the verdant back deck and courtyard garden. Elià House by Studio Prineas.

Jamie Ivey of Richmond, Virginia based interior designers Ivey Design Group has taken a neutral new build (albeit with huge windows taking in the expansive views of woodlands and pond) and created a colourful and welcoming contemporary home. Crisp white walls allow pops of colour to delight and draw you into rooms while layering of textures warms what could have been a cold modern house. Think sophisticated yet family friendly, unique and definitely not boring.

“A 20 year old builder-grade home, that required a facelift to fit the new owners’ personalities and incredible, European inspired taste. Custom cabinetry, unique lighting and textural materials play in perfect harmony with one another, to make this renovation a success!”

The kitchen is inspiring, the laundry clever and colourful but my heart belongs to the little jewel box of a bar/butler’s pantry. No, more of a bar in brilliant deep blue. Willows Residence by Indianapolis-based Whittney Parkinson Design
