A breath of fresh air

Posted on Wed, 16 Nov 2016 by midcenturyjo

As much as I love my dark and moody home sometimes along comes a house with a light, bright, modern palette that makes me re-assess my stance. How cool, how young and crisp. I particularly love that vibrant staircase! This Lincoln Park, Chicago home by Summer Thornton is a breath of fresh air.

… with my feet up on the sofa, book in hand, music wafting in from the next room, doors thrown open, waiting for someone to disturb my reverie with an interesting conversation. What a lovely room by interior designer Alexander M. Reid.

Sophisticated, polished, and carefully curated. Classic + modern designs in soothing neutrals with touches of glam. Such lovely spaces created by Toronto-based Elizabeth Metcalfe Interiors & Design.

Kelly McGuill update

Posted on Tue, 18 Oct 2016 by KiM

It has been an eternity since Jo featured some spaces by Boston-based interior designer Kelly McGuill. In all that time it seems her style has become more subdued with a bit more rustic and elegant elements. And I love every bit of these rooms. The neutral colour schemes are so soothing and I am absolutely in love with this first kitchen, which happens to be Kelly’s, and THAT GREY CARRARA MARBLE IS MY JAM!!!

Runaway to Morocco

Posted on Fri, 14 Oct 2016 by midcenturyjo

Come take my hand. We’ll close our eyes and click our heels and be magically transported to 5 Columns, a beautifully restored 18th Century house in the heart of the Essaouira Medina, Morocco. If only it was that easy to escape the slow dragging drudgery of Fridays at work.
