The beauty and warmth of classic architecture and design is something that is unparalleled. Situated on a sprawling equestrian property of nearly 100 acres, this French-inspired country estate was built and designed to last generations. A legacy property such as this needed each selection to reflect times both past and present. Believing the beauty of a home is in the details, our team worked closely alongside the architect, builder, and countless trades to bring this oak-timber-framed property to life. Working from the architectural phase to the decorating phase, the project was nearly three years in the making, something we feel shows in the finished home.
What a beauty this home is! I keep imagining this with darker wood finishes so it was a bit more dramatic but I imagine the homeowners were after something bright and airy. By PlaidFox Studio. (Photos: Ema Peter; Builder: Homestar)

These days I don’t often feature new build homes as those with history are more my thing but these photos of a model townhome in Markham, Ontario by Kylemore is quite spectacular. Their attention to detail (even in the photo above – check out the curves in the drywall above that stove wall) and the finishes and décor are spectacular. I’d happily move in there with a truck full of antiques and make this work.

“Originally the basement of this stunning home was made up of a warren of small dark rooms. Our clients being particularly keen cooks had a dreamy kitchen on their wishlist alongside essential designated areas for storage and preparation. “

The result? Warm, welcoming, efficient living spaces for a young family who love to cook and socialise.  The colour palette is calm and restrained while the materials are natural with an organic texture. Up in the attic, tired bedrooms were made over and a copper bath adds a touch of luxury.  Denmark Villas by British interior designer Emma Milne.

“Sequenced over three levels, this dream-like oasis weaves tangible tales of faraway lands and ancient cultures through eclectic manipulations of materials and styles to convey charismatic reinterpretations of the past.”

It’s fun, fresh, quirky, spirited, confident and trend-setting. It’s mad. It shouldn’t work. It’s a triumph. “Home and Away” by in my opinion the most exciting Australian interior designer Yasmine Saleh Ghoniem of YSG.
