A theatrical home in New Canaan

Posted on Mon, 25 Aug 2025 by midcenturyjo

In New Canaan, New York, US-born, London-based decorator Joyce Sitterly redesigned a Greek Revival house for a family eager for bold ideas. The single-level home features an expansive kitchen with a generous farm table and a living room layered with British-accented style. Combining custom-made furniture with antiques, the interiors embrace individuality and drama. Patterns, textures and theatrical touches create a chic yet comfortable atmosphere that avoids convention in favor of character and originality.

Malvern Hill House by Parker Studio (interiors) in collaboration with Potter & Wilson (architecture) is a heritage home in Croydon that unites Victorian charm with a bold contemporary extension. Nestled in a leafy conservation area, it was carefully restored and expanded to meet the needs of a modern family. The steel-glazed rear addition contrasts with warm interiors, where layered textures, subtle colours, and mixed materials enrich the space. The result is a refined balance between timeless heritage and modern sophistication.

I spotted this location home on Shoot Factory and immediately fell in love with it’s quaintness and soothing, peaceful vibe. It’s a traditional Cotswold stone barn house situated at the end of a private lane in a peaceful Gloucestershire hamlet. Formerly the barn of a farm property it was changed into a residential dwelling in the 1960’s. And I could live there happily for the rest of my days.

A Victorian vicarage reimagined

Posted on Thu, 21 Aug 2025 by midcenturyjo

Wandsworth Vicarage is a Victorian rectory in South West London, reimagined by Tamsin Saunders of Home & Found with sensitivity and character. Once tired and neutrally decorated, the house has been transformed into a warm, vibrant home that feels as though it evolved over decades rather than through a single renovation. By introducing colour, pattern and texture, and carefully layering antiques, vintage lighting and bespoke pieces, Tamsin created interiors that reflect the clients’ personalities while honouring the building’s history. Spaces open to the garden and connect through thoughtful views, giving each room purpose and flow. From a softened conservatory to richly detailed living areas and tranquil bedrooms, the house now balances heritage with comfort, intimacy with grandeur and artistry with everyday life.

Boronkay Studio have transformed this Victorian villa in leafy Richmond into a layered family home that balances grandeur with intimacy. Guided by a philosophy of blending tradition and innovation, the studio reimagined the property to reflect both its architectural elegance and the family’s multicultural background. The interiors weave vintage Italian and French pieces with bespoke furniture and collected artworks, creating a deeply personal narrative. Bold colors, subtle textures, and expressive detailing converge to shape a soulful, timeless home.
