This Haussmanian-style apartment in Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a literal work of art. Stunning architectural details set the stage – the moldings, large windows and chevron hardwood flooring. The walls painted in subdued earth tones are quite intriguing as typically spaces showcasing art are painted white. And as for the art, it’s from a broad range of eras which is very unexpected. Wonderful! Designed by Rodolphe Parente.













Simple, serene, warm, bright, relaxing, comfortable. Another project I am smitten with by Studio Lifestyle.














This rather spacious, modern home in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, is a modern white backdrop to some luxe elements (that brass range hood is breathtaking!) but maintains an overall sense of calm, warmth and comfort. A perfect combination. Designed by Studio Lifestyle.


















“House of Grey creates a restorative home retreat that will provide you with the space you need to reconnect, replenish your energy, step back & slow down.”
Relax. Welcome to the way of the future. Embrace a whole-person-whole-world approach to designing and building spaces.

Jo shared the 17th century, 3,300 sq ft Milan palazzo of designer Vincenzo De Cotiis a few years ago and I recently stumbled upon it again and because it truly is one of the most exquisite homes I have ever seen I wanted to share it again. This is what taking the time to peel back years and years of layers can get you. And when you leave it raw and untreated, it is absolutely magical and something to be revered for years to come.
