Designer Leanne Ford and her designer friend Grace Mitchell bought a home in Round Top, Texas. It is rustic and filled with vintage goodness (love that Aga stove!) …and the same vintage wall light used about 18 times, which as it turns out is one of my pet peeves of Leanne’s projects. It seems repetition in excess drives me batty. Anyhoo it’s a really pretty home, and I do love that light fixture (x18). You can book a stay here. Photos: Sarah Barlow.
“The Cruïlles project involves the restoration of a traditional Catalan farmhouse of 500 m² in Cruïlles, Girona, preserving its rustic essence while blending it with a contemporary design. The house is situated alongside a 12th-century city wall and features a 300 m² garden with a converted barn that serves as a guesthouse. The design stands out for its abundant natural light, use of reclaimed materials, and the integration of modern elements with a countryside charm. This space beautifully balances historic heritage with a cozy, personalized aesthetic that invites relaxation and enjoyment in every corner.”
Blending rustic charm with contemporary chic, the Cruïlles project by Barcelona-based Cristina Carulla Studio embodies grace, warmth, and authenticity, creating beautiful, timeless spaces.

Built for adventure and togetherness, our Sun Valley Ski House offers the perfect blend of functionality and fun. With ample sleeping spaces, two kitchens, and multiple areas for lounging or gathering, this ski house in Sun Valley is designed to be the ultimate retreat. Lovingly restored, this home is the launch point for endless adventure, and the interior reflects that with its playful, welcoming design.
Being able to hang out in a cozy and warm (but very cool!) home like this would definitely have me appreciating winter more. Designed by Yond Interiors; Builder: Hobbs Builders; Photos: Malissa Mabey; Styling: Jen Paul.
Wisteria Cottage – Detached 5 bed Victorian cottage with a modern timber & glass and critical extension, with a large garden that overlooks farm fields. The garden also has a separate timber built 2 bed cabin with modern rustic interiors. The downstairs is mainly open plan with a large modern kitchen, which has a 100 year old olive growing out of the kitchen island. The open plan downstairs consists of a large garden room, kitchen, kitchen diner, dining room, utility, snug/5th bedroom, office and downstairs toilet. There are 7 sets of double crittal doors that open out onto different parts of the garden overlooking farm fields and an 11th century church and graveyard. The first floor has 4 double bedrooms, three with ensuites and a family bathroom which has an antique roll top copper bath.
This home has both modern and rustic spaces which is a heavenly combination (IMHO). Also if I can somehow get a built in planter for an olive tree in my next house…. Location home available via Shoot Factory.
A home built within an old granite quarry. I cannot think of anything more beautiful. Porto and Paris based architect François Leite created a modern and minimalist dwelling here in Porto’s Lapa neighbourhood that embraces wholeheartedly the surroundings. I could not love this more.
