A 1951 Colonial Revival home in Point Dume, reimagined by Sarah Solis as a serene and soulful family retreat. Rather than expanding the footprint, the focus was on preserving the home’s original structure while layering in warmth, texture, and character. Plaster walls, vintage pieces, and custom Galerie Solis furnishings define the interiors, bringing quiet richness and a sense of ease to each space. Natural light, vaulted ceilings, and thoughtful materials create a feeling of calm throughout. Outdoors, mature olive trees, a vegetable garden, and an open kitchen connect the home to the land and the rhythms of California living.
Bless her for understanding how magical this home’s original features were and not engaging in a gut renovation. The warmth and sophistication, liveable and enveloping atmosphere Sarah has created here is really special. No doubt her dream home. Photos: Michael Clifford.

Sharing yet another colourful and pattern zesty gem that seems to be all the rage with the Brits these days. Which is fine by me! I’m in fact seriously considering painting my living room a similar shade to this ground floor sitting room (this is Lilac Pink by Edward Bulmer). This house seems to have 3 sitting rooms/drawing rooms/living rooms….you know, rooms with sofas. That’s crazy, considering I have been lusting over getting one new sofa for about 2 years now and cannot find the perfect one. How would I ever choose at least 3 of them?! Anyway I digress. Octavia Dickinson went a little bit traditional here, a little bit whimsical and it is a lot of awesome. Photos: Helen Cathcart.

Molly Kidd Studio creates homes that are both luxurious and livable, grounded in creativity and everyday comfort. Their Bay Area project is a refined new build that showcases natural materials, layered textiles and curated vintage furnishings. Thoughtful design shines in every detail, from a custom wine cabinet to a fully integrated kitchen, breakfast nook, pantry, mudroom and laundry. Each space feels personal and inviting, reflecting a story told through craftsmanship, materiality and timeless design.

Annie Downing Interiors takes an intuitive, story-driven approach to design, creating deeply personal spaces shaped by each client’s desires and lifestyle. Drawing on layered histories, rich textures and global inspiration, the studio balances beauty with function. At the Lago Verde Road residence, ADI provided thoughtful design guidance and creative budget strategies, resulting in a home equally suited for quiet mornings, lively celebrations, and the rhythms of everyday life—crafted to be lived in and loved.

A plethora of colours, textures and patterns, with some funky “adult” spaces and some whimsical spaces for the kids, ok and adults, to enjoy. Designer Cleme de Grivel Sader of Lehlo Interiors created such a wonderful home here in Chelsea, London for her and her family. I love the uniqueness of it though I can’t help but laugh at the fact that the office space is in the same colourway as my dining room (orangey walls with pink ceiling) and Jo had covered her former kitchen’s walls in Penguin book covers.
