There’s something about a modern wood cabin that continues to tug at my heart strings. In Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia, this contemporary cottage designed and owned by Frits de Vries Architects + Associates sits amongst the trees and along the Georgia Strait and is quite a sight. You would never know this home is only 1,450 square feet. Cedar, concrete, Douglas fir and floor to ceiling windows really set the stage for this cabin in the forest. So calming and peaceful.

This Paris apartment designed by architect Pauline Lorenzi Boisrond of Studio Ett Hem is top to bottom full of WOW factor elements. I mean the kitchen alone – that terracotta (?) tile floor, the beautiful cabinetry, the banquette, a statement tiled fireplace wall (a fireplace in the kitchen, what a dream!)…and then you turn around and there is the coziest black low-ceiling lounge nook. AND THEN you walk into the bathroom and I’m about to pass out over that tiled bathtub alcove. LOVE THIS!!!! Sourcing: Milkshake Interior; photos: BCDF studio.

Sometimes it’s fun to mix it up in the kitchen and I don’t mean a cake mix. How about the Nest Kitchen by Studio Doherty for Laminex? It’s an exploration of colour and layout and while some will not like it I love it.

“Light House, Vaucluse: An award-winning project for a family who love Italian-inspired design. Described as ‘timeless and lovingly layered’ by Belle and ‘beautifully nuanced’ by Vogue Living.”

And why the name “Light House”? Yes, the design allows light to pour into the rooms through large windows and a central void, but look out the window and you might see another reason. Sophisticated contemporary living by Sydney-based Smac Studio.

Toronto based designer Shauna Walton did a number on this modern home with lots of golden wood, neutral colour palette and tons of curves, as seen in furniture (that dining set is to die for), doorways, the simplest yet sexiest stove hood cover, bathroom vanities and so much more. The result is a stunning and warm family home. Photos: Lauren Miller.
