A Romanesque Victorian renovation in Minnesota

Posted on Mon, 25 Nov 2024 by KiM

Atop St. Paul’s picturesque Summit Hill, our Romanesque Victorian renovation transformed a majestic, 10,000-square-foot estate into an intimate haven for a growing family. By juxtaposing grand, airy spaces with snug, inviting nooks, we created a harmonious balance of elegance and warmth. This thoughtfully restored home now radiates cozy charm.
I’m head over heels in love with this home. The drama of the grandeur and the architecture, that marble checkerboard floor, the warmth of the wood paneling, the mix of modern and antique lighting, the photography artwork that makes such a statement… Designed by Anne McDonald; Photos: Tim Lenz; Styling: Liz Gardner.

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. Annina Showroom, Holland Park by Isabella Worsley.

Bold colour in Brighton

Posted on Wed, 6 Nov 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Working closely with the client, the brief was to create a cheerful second home, with injections of colour and character throughout. The primary concern was to improve the flow of spaces and maximising the limited footprint, to ensure that each area was utilised to its best advantage. Character was then added through working with a range of materials and antique pieces to give a quirky narrative to the space.”

What a lovely seaside home. Bolld use of colour and personality. Brighton Mews by Isabella Worsley.

A joyous celebration of colour

Posted on Mon, 4 Nov 2024 by midcenturyjo

Located on one of the most iconic streets in San Miguel de Allende, Casa Coa blends eclectic styles with a warm, captivating colour palette. Inspired by snake motifs in the original architecture, Maye Ruiz of the eponymous MAYE embraced this theme to create an environment that echoes the natural landscapes of fields and shrubs. Green tones harmonize with red, pink, and burgundy, creating a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere with handcrafted pieces and regional materials. I especially love her collaboration with Mestiz.

A Calgary MCM home with some English flair

Posted on Mon, 28 Oct 2024 by KiM

Lor’s English MCM is a late 1950’s character home with a story to share. The previous owners resided in the home from the time it was first built, upgrading & adding through the years. The end result was a unique time capsule that captured a ranch style MCM flare popularized by architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright. As soon as you enter the space you can feel the distinct personality and upbeat overall feeling. Each room has it’s own distinct characteristics, but there is a cohesion that ties each space together. Colour and warmth transition from one room to the next, overall the space is an upbeat backdrop for a very lively household.
OMG designer (@ For Porter) Laura Collins’ Glamorgan, Calgary rental home is the friggin cutest!!! It’s incredible what a little paint can do to really warm up a space. If your landlord will let you do something other than white, the sky is the limit! Photos: Michelle Johnson
