What a dream. A lovely traditional home, rambling vines and lush lawns rolling down to the Hudson River. Views from almost every window, old floor boards, overstuffed sofas mixed with antiques and a garden room off the living space. Peaceful, serene luxury. Residence along the Hudson by John B. Murray Architect.

Sleek, contemporary lines with a touch of Scandi in a beautifully renovated Edwardian-era house. The perfect marriage of old and new. What more could you want? Willoughby House by Sydney-based Lot60 Interior Design.

One thing I absolutely detest in this city is how all new builds are designed to look modern regardless of the neighbourhood and surrounding architecture. I love that this home is a new build and was designed to look like an English village, despite being located in Austin, Texas. And the result is bright (except the kitchen – which is WOW) and inviting and beautiful inside and out. Designed by Fern Santini.

I am in complete denial that summer is over. I am trying to mentally prepare myself to be frozen and miserable for the next 6+ months. In the meantime I will continue to deny the inevitable by staring longingly at summer homes such as this neutral, modern Montauk beauty by Alexander Design.

I had to share another property available to rent from designer Jacques Garcia. This too is an absolutely stunning home in Sicily but this time set amongst a much more barren landscape than the previous one I shared. And like the last one, I’d be kicking and screaming on my way out. How could you ever leave this?
