There is a design firm here in Ottawa that pops up on my Instagram feed every now and then and it hit me that I should finally feature these talented folks. West of Main aims to create beautiful spaces that complement beautiful lives. Influenced by designs from around the world West of Main can assist clients in developing connections to styles inspired by culture and diversified by texture. With a belief that natural elements possess a timeless beauty, West of Main’s designs combine nature with modern pieces to create a chic, elegant and unique style. This is what everyone seems to be after these days, and why I titled this crowd-pleasing. It works for almost everyone. I’d of course add in some vintage bits and some funky mid-century lighting…..

“Copper-clad and streaming with light, a new townhouse by Fox Johnston Architects offers a blueprint for compact multi-level living. On an exposed corner site in the leafy back streets of Bondi, it deftly balances natural light, garden outlooks and privacy, while leaving one or two tricks up its sleeve. Fox Johnston used the site topography to carve three distinct levels, modulating materials and form to give the building strength, character and privacy. On a site of just 153 square metres, they engineered a house of 212 square metres, fringed with landscape spaces for the owners to cultivate.”

A very neutral colour palette with light wood, brass and some subtle bits of darkness…all with a touch of European flair make for such a relaxing and timeless pairing. Located in Edmond, OK, this beautiful home was designed with an English Revival style focus. The goal was to create a backdrop for balancing both beauty and function for this family. Pairing of old with new in many of the design elements, including a 200-year-old vintage Italian marble stone sink used in the powder bathroom. Vintage modern is a signature style of the Kelsey Leigh Design Co. brand this home is a perfect example of that.

Classic, neutral, casual and a bit traditional, with the sweetest exterior. This is the lovely new-build Roswell, Atlanta cottage of designer Anna Braund.

How could I not share one more house by Heidi Woodman and the team at Indianapolis-based Haus Love Interiors? Rich gold and mustard accents anchor the white of the living room while earthy tones warm the kitchen and the relaxed bedrooms. Beautiful and very liveable.
