We brought a 1970s lakeside cottage back to life with a complete gut remodel, restoring the vintage cabin feel and layering with vintage and luxury finishes to create a boutique short term rental experience for guests to enjoy. We were going for a laid-back luxury vibe bringing in lots of our favorite vintage pieces collected over time. We used handmade tile, natural stone, and textiles in rich, earthy colors and organic textures. We let the outside in with new patio doors and windows throughout. While the main room was painted with a warm white, we dialed up the mood in the bedrooms and bathrooms with deep, earthy tones. 
If I stumbled upon this cool cottage on Airbnb I’d be booking it on the spot. Not your typical cottage vibes and definitely amping up the sophistication. Designed by Meet West Studio.

I typically share a castle on Sundays that I spend hours searching for something blog worthy, but the weather is nice today finally and I need to get my butt outside and start cleaning and prepping the greenhouse for use, and basic yard cleanup. So instead I took the “easy” way out and wanted to share this beautiful five-bedroom house in Cley-next-the-Sea, Norfolk that is for sale via Inigo. It is so full of character and whimsy and vintage goodness.
It has a series of sea-facing rooms with spectacular views of natural wetlands and beaches beyond. An extensive restoration in recent years has maintained the integrity of its 18th-century sensibilities. Set within a plot of just over half an acre, its expansive gardens have been designed to make the most of their elevated position, overlooking coastland and local landmarks like Cley Windmill. The house’s vernacular red-brick façade is notable for its Dutch gable detail and flint rag-stone detailing. The imposing frontage dates from the mid-18th century and sits on a small green track just off Coast Road. Entry to the house is via a gated courtyard between the main building and the coach house. Spanning some half an acre, the gardens are a veritable private oasis. The highest terrace is home to a brilliant wooden studio.

The apartment has a clock chip in a partial enfilade and is located in the attic of a tenement house dating back to 1905. A marble fireplace constitutes the central part of the interior. A hand-painted ceiling refers to the Dutch painting. The walls are covered with wooden panels. Single herringbone pattern of the wooden floor is painted in white. The apartment is furnished with originally designed furniture and furniture systems which are tailor-made according to a design. (Some of this might not be translating correctly from Polish)
This project by Polish architect and colour designer Karolina Rochman-Drohomirecka is titled “Red Stove” but I think it really needs to be “Red Stove and Yellow Walls”. The graphic trim in the kitchen with the fun red stove, the lemon yellow central area with the gorgeous painted floral design on the black ceiling are really making a statement. Though I will admit I am 100% not on board with the white painted herringbone wood floor (whyyyyyyyyy?????).

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. Helbraun Levey by Home Studios.

I am for the most part unphased and of fairly neutral opinion for most of what I find to post. It’s generally “oh that’s cute”, “this seems blog worthy”, or “yeah I could live there”. This home in Nashville designed by Pierce & Ward is as if they took every single thing I adore (except maybe the colour red) about each of my favourite homes I’ve ever featured and crammed it all into one project. I was sitting here working on blog posts for the week whilst working on my day job at the same time, seemingly wasting away a perfectly good Saturday and it is like the heavens opened up and angels are singing. Bless designers like Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward for reminding me why I love this second job so much.
