This Austin ranch designed by Light and Dwell is “mountain ranch” style and I am loving every inch of it. Stone walls and fireplaces (mostly painted white…..ugh but does lighten things up), exposed wood ceiling beams in almost every room, the warmed wood kitchen, lots of furry chairs I want to sink into, and everything bathed in soothing neutrals. Timeless and classic but make it a bit rustic but also a bit sophisticated. Photos: Harry Crowder.


















A calming remodel of a Victorian terrace in Stoke Newington, with a rustic, Italian charm, that is centred around a sociable kitchen and its pantry. Martina and Joe approached us from the outset with the most beautifully laid out briefing document, with a clear direction for the finished aesthetic – textured, rustic, Italian and English combined. On a practical level, the brief was focused on a ground floor extension that could achieve a wider, open and more sociable kitchen to accommodate our clients’ love of social cooking and entertaining. For the loft space, Martina and Joe wanted to convert this space into a calm, main bedroom and ensuite with dressing area, with Italian references like the ground floor. The extension is two peaked volumes that form a stepped plan to respond to the varying lengths of the neighbouring houses.
Oh how I adore this new kitchen, and the simplicity and practicality of the spaces London-based architecture firm Bradley Van Der Straeten re-designed and created in this home.






















Becca Casey of Becca Interiors knew the 1950s Provencal-inspired home had potential on her first visit. Its single-level layout boasted tall original windows, flooding the space with natural light. Stripping down floors and walls to the studs Becca began the transformation infusing the rooms with English influences. Antique beams from Philadelphia and an Italianate marble fireplace adorn the living room, while a stone trough graces the powder room. A neutral palette and white oak floors throughout offer a warm welcome while what was once a guest room is now a charming nursery.

Katie Hodges Design undertook a complete renovation and furnishing of this 1940s Pacific Palisades home. The clients, a family of four, lived here for a decade before opting for renovation. The former mishmash of styles posed challenges in the floor plan. The home transformed into a harmonious blend of modern and traditional styles through meticulous reworking, expansion, and adjustments. Bespoke and vintage furnishings added the final touch, creating a cherished living space.

Shape, texture, and materiality converge within the walls of this warm and inviting home that places artistry and comfort on a pedestal.
Designed by Heidi Woodman Interiors, this home is so perfect in so many ways and has so much to offer that I think it would be a hit for the masses. The architecture has both modern and traditional elements, the colour palette is neutral and earthy with just the right amount of black accents, the furnishings all look like you could just sink into them and have a nap, there’s just a bit of pattern that is on the traditional side which is a pretty contrast to some of the modern art, textures that look incredibly cozy….
