For the love of an old house

Posted on Tue, 12 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

Laura and McLean Jenkins fell in love with this 1905 Victorian bungalow in Grant Park, Atlanta, drawn by its historical features despite its run-down condition. The couple, an interior designer and architect were drawn by the house’s grand ceilings and original features, meticulously restoring it. Upholding a belief in preserving the history of the spaces while embracing the present, they redesigned spaces, blending diverse styles to create a harmonious yet eclectic home. Each room, a marriage of personal stories and carefully curated details reflects the enduring charm of their cherished old home. GP House by Laura W. Jenkins Interiors.

Hinterland hotspot

Posted on Thu, 30 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

Nestled in Byron Bay’s laid-back hinterland, this Newrybar house stands as a tribute to timeless rural living, harmoniously merging an existing barn with a contemporary extension. Vintage furniture and global influences inform the design by interior designer Jase Sullivan. A hip home in a hip holiday destination.

Built in 1707, this Queen Anne country house in Oxfordshire is home to designer Samantha Todhunter who designed it with many unexpected and magnificent touches that add to its charm. Staircase walls lined with turquoise paperbacked silk, with the stairs covered in Diane von Furstenberg’s ‘Climbing Leopard’ carpet, Phillip Jeffries red grasscloth paper in the drawing room, kitchen cabinetry in one of my favourite colurs – Farrow & Ball’s Setting Plaster, a glossy dark blue study and the list goes on.

Bespoke pale pink and blue walls, a kitchen decorated with turrets and finials, murals and tree wallpapers mix with antique and vintage furniture to create the prettiest, eclectic Victorian home in east London designed by Rachel Chudley. I love that it’s precious but not too precious and the colours are sooo soothing. Photos: Paul Massey

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Coco & Lola, Manly by Esoteriko.
