A designer’s home in Hancock Park

Posted on Wed, 22 Jun 2022 by midcenturyjo

Oh my! Can we just stop and drink in the loveliness of Los Angeles based interior designer Noel Pittman‘s Hancock Park home? Spanish Mission, trad meets new, block print fabric and handmade tiles. And don’t get me started on the library. I’m scanning my home looking for a room to convert into a version of that fabulous space. Love!

Villa Arniano

Posted on Thu, 5 May 2022 by midcenturyjo

Arniano is a romantic, elegant and secluded farmhouse villa thirty minutes from Siena. Situated in a rolling landscape of green-black cypresses and hilltop villages, Arniano commands a panoramic view across southern Tuscany at its rural best.

The house is a rare find and has been lovingly converted into an unusually light and airy property by acclaimed interior designer Camilla Guinness. It is exquisitely furnished with a mixture of grand bohemian chic and simple Italian style, creating a beautiful, comfortable and much-loved family home.”

I’ve long had Camilla Guinness’ red and white striped garden daybeds saved in my inspiration files. Now it’s time to drink in the simple beauty of the rest of her Italian home Villa Arniano

A bohemian farmhouse

Posted on Fri, 17 Dec 2021 by KiM

I had to share another inspiring project by Lauren Liess and I must point out that this one includes the library of my dreams. This modern farmhouse with a cozy bohemian vibe was designed for a busy family of five who love being outside. The home has a mix of colorful patterns and neutrals. Our clients’ overall goal was to create a strong indoor-outdoor connection and easy entertaining. (Architect: Thomas French Builder: Daniel Valencic of Great Jones Build)
