A modern salon for creative exchange

Posted on Fri, 30 Jan 2026 by midcenturyjo

Fortuna by Chroma is imagined as a modern salon for curious, creative minds. Designed for gathering, thinking, and exchanging ideas, it feels expansive yet intimate, encouraging shared creativity and intuition. The concept blends the elegance of nineteenth-century interiors with the bold edge of contemporary culture. Historic references meet avant-garde influences, from couture richness to sculptural experimentation, creating a space that feels timeless, intelligent, and quietly futuristic, and distinctly Chroma signature.

A resolutely unique collection of spaces, quite unlike anything in the area, Mall House is a remarkable home occupying a spectacular elevated site on the outskirts of Bath. Each of its buildings has a distinct charm and character, from an enchanting stone-built cottage to peaceful wood cabins and inviting timber-framed yurts. Set on a sloping site, the surrounding grounds stretch to almost three acres and are formed of ancient woodland, productive vegetable gardens, and swathes of lawn set against breathtaking panoramic views. Despite its overwhelming tranquillity, Bath’s city centre is easily reached in around 15 minutes by car, or by bicycle in around 40 minutes.
If this were in my budget and I had plans to move across the ocean I’d snap this up in a heartbeat. This is so unique and quirky and an absolute gem. For sale via Inigo for £1,800,000.

A joyfully Victorian Revival

Posted on Thu, 8 Jan 2026 by midcenturyjo

This handsome Victorian villa on a corner plot in Saratoga Springs, New York has been joyfully brought back to life by Sarah Brown Interiors. Once a rather bland six-bedroom B&B, it’s now a lively holiday home for a young, horse-loving family who enjoy entertaining. Bold pattern, British contemporary craft and bespoke artworks layer each room with personality, from sociable sitting and drinks rooms to calmer, whimsical bedrooms upstairs. The result is relaxed, characterful and made for modern family life.

“Smart. Vivacious. Stunning. Timeless. These are the hallmarks of an Angie Hranowsky interior. Since publishing her first project in 2004, the Charleston-based designer has built an impeccable reputation for brilliant, intuitive designs that weave together the grace and elegance of her adopted hometown with rich layers of cosmopolitan sophistication, historical influences, and fine craftsmanship.”

I just want to add one more word … FABULOUS.
