I declare that every Cotswolds residence needs a party barn! It makes complete sense if you have a barn on your property that needs some love. In this case it involves exposed stone walls, tons of storage, reclaimed wood, a massive 20 person dining table that can move out of the way to make room for a dance floor, a kitchen with bi-fold doors to close it off so the dinner mess can wait until morning, and lots of space for guests to sleep. I love this sooooo much! Designed by Dalrymple Studio. Photos: Dean Hearne.

Renovations to this historic 1830’s Connecticut farmhouse started with the directive, “I don’t want to lose any of the character and history of the place.” From what had become a dark maze of interior rooms over nearly two centuries, we created a plan for a modern family. We recast the details of the original house in a completely new layout: original baseboards, doors, trims, and flooring complement a modern design with interiors by Fawn Galli that opens views from spacious rooms to the beautiful surrounding mountains.
Douglas C. Wright Architects did right by this beautiful old home, and I love that the new addition is black and seems to fade into the background. Photos: Costa Picadas.

Welcome to Camp Roig 31, a totally unique townhouse in the heart of Alaró on the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains, meticulously designed and renovated by Durietz Design & Development. Camp Roig 31 is a 600+ m2 townhouse with a sun-bathed 410 m2 courtyard overlooking the Alaró twin peaks and surroundings. The house, built in 1910, was originally as a halfway house for crops and meat from a large possession outside the town and has now been restored and upgraded into a modern big family residence with all the luxuries one could expect, with 5-7 bedrooms, 5 baths, wine cellar with it’s own house wine, 10x4m pool, garage and much more. The house has many antique charming details like two stone fireplaces and wooden carvings, but probably its main feature is the airy roofed terrace with arched openings to the private expansive backyard and mountain views.
What a spectacular home this is! Majorca living with the finest of details and Spanish style elegance. Once this home was put on the market I bet it sold really damn fast.

Another dream home by D Stanley Dixon Architect. This cottage originates in the 1880s and is located in the lowcountry of coastal South Carolina. Surrounded by massive oak trees covered in Spanish moss, with a large wrap-around screened-in porch at the back overlooking a river that connects to the Atlantic ocean. Yes please! The interiors are designed by Jackye Lanham and are perfectly suited to the casual country vibes. I am completely smitten. Photos: Eric Piasecki.

DREAM HOUSE ALERT!!! Vernacular Barn in Cashiers, North Carolina was designed by D Stanley Dixon Architect (interiors by Barry Dixon) and is my dream house down to every last detail (except maybe relocate it to France or even Canada). A newly built barn-style home, made to look old and it had been renovated into a residence. White-washed wood, reclaimed wood floors, exposed stone, a simple Shaker kitchen…a wonderful mix of primitive sensibilities with rustic finishes. I think this is what heaven looks like.
