It’s all about the location … and the house

Posted on Thu, 11 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

They say it’s all about location, location, location but a cool house helps too. What I love about this gentle reworking of this waterfront cabin in Maine by Angie Hranowsky is just that … a gentle hand, a light touch. It’s rental which explains the lack of big ticket, rip it out and rebuild projects but I think it’s perfect. Mind you with a view like that I’d be happy to sit on a box 😛

The appearance of gold

Posted on Thu, 11 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Yellow-coloured objects appear to be gold” – Aristotle. It’s a quote used by Geremia Design to describe their reworking of a Julia Morgan house. (Morgan’s most famous building is Hearst Castle.) It’s about bold, saturated colour and the juxtaposition of old and new, novel and familiar, subtle and dramatic. It’s about alchemy … and gold.

A contemporary Grand Georgian

Posted on Tue, 9 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

This contemporary home in the Georgian style exudes a timeless international flair, marrying what the designer calls “Classic Modernist” principles with transitional design. Crafted with meticulous care, this downsizer (yes I did say downsizer) is all about enduring elegance and top-notch craftsmanship. Emphasizing durability and easy maintenance the interior showcases sleek joinery, quartzite stones and a blend of natural elements—timber, stone, metal, and Murano glass—infusing warmth and sophistication. Architectural elements, from stone detailing to Georgian-inspired cornices, were thoughtfully integrated to honour the home’s style. Grand Georgian in Sydney’s Double Bay by Carla Barton.

A Chelsea Loft Apartment

Posted on Tue, 9 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

My New York dream. A classic loft space that goes on and on. A multitude of living spaces. Bedrooms that are boudoirs with yet more seating areas. An office the size of most NY studios. A girl can dream and when I do I’ll it will be this Chelseas loft Ryan Lawson that will fill my mind’s eye. Chic and bohemian, quirky and massive.
