We were given the opportunity to turn a beige and brown historic country house into a cheerful and welcoming forever home for one of our very favorite families. We tended to the deferred maintenance first and once all of that was sorted, we made small but significant architectural changes like removing the small wooden and shingled little porch stoop cover and replacing it with a cheerful striped awning and draperies, opening up the living room fire box to its original glorious size and dressing it in a French carved stone surround, hung crystal chandeliers, installed gas lanterns, and hung a sixteen foot tall custom made rose trellis, and window boxes every place we could fit them. When it comes to the project, we lovingly referred to as #perfectlypicardy it could be said that we have a ruthlessly edited more is more aesthetic choosing layers of chintz, plush pink mohair, tufted everything and multiple bar carts stocked to entertain all summer long…
You’d think this was a villa in the south of France, not in the heart of Missouri. Such a fabulously glam, elegant makeover by the queen of glam, Annie Brahler of EuroTrash. Photos: Shannon Duggan.

“In this Outremont condo noble materials reign, the interior design combines various marbles and rich wood textures and natural textiles to create a sophisticated yet understated atmosphere. The subtle interplay of the different materials adds a touch of timeless luxury without overwhelming the airy space. The finished condo offers a comfortable and inviting urban living environment.”

Luke Havekes, founder of the eponymous Luke Havekes Design, believes that there should always be a story at the heart of every space no matter what style and what a story this Montreal home tells. Richly textured, art filled, masculine and moody.

I found a feature on this home via Elle Decoration that calls this “English eccentricity meets American maximalism”. It is layer upon layer of a mixed bag of patterns and colours and is so random you can’t help but inspect every inch and fall in love. J’adore!!! Designed by Henri Fitzwilliam-Lay.

This grand, six bedroom semi-detached Edwardian home by the sea in Margate, Kent is perfect for a family. Lots of cozy spaces to hang out all together, so many bold and bright colours used throughout, pretty patterns, lots of artwork. 100% lived in and loved.
