Originally built as a Tailors called Smith and Hobbs which employed several seamstresses working on the old Singer sewing machines and producing fine quality suits and tweed mostly for the hunting and racing set. A Grade-II listed building, the property was completely restored to its current shape in 2103 by uber-cool Gloucestershire-based salvage and vintage firm Original House. In keeping with the regulations, the exterior had to be kept as close to its original appearance as possible, so a specialist was brought in to strip off the old cladding and replace it. With its new, immaculate coat of corrugated iron, the building has clear visual links to its manufacturing past. The newly-created space, intended to be used both for entertaining and as a guest house, was designed to feel wonderfully cool and contemporary, forming a real contrast between the outside and inside. Feeling far from traditional or fusty, The Old Tailors mixes vintage industrial furniture and lighting with contemporary design and colours, creating a unique salvaged interior topped with freshness and individuality and all the charm and character that history can provide.

This rustic barn in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire is a texture-lovers dream. Exposed brick walls, rough-hewn reclaimed wood, steel and add in some crittall windows and you have an industrial treasure trove. Barn living at its finest!

A 300 year old barn is transformed into a weekend retreat that is modern, minimal and really REALLY cool. I’m dreamy about this kind of rustic/modern/industrial/loft space for as long as I can remember. By Studio Todd Raymond. (Photos: Adrian Gaut)

Tuscan living in an 18th century estate doesn’t get much better than this. A MUCH different vibe than the last project I shared of Gracinha Viterbo but this one is so perfect for the surroundings. Prominent Tuscan vibes with tiny touches of contemporary for casual living. What an incredible home this is.

I love the rustic, cottage/farmhouse look and feel of this home in the Hudson Valley. It is an amalgamation of an 18th century farmhouse, a wood Civil War–era residence and a 3 story addition. Together it almost looks like a little village and they blend together really beautifully in this very picturesque, 56 acre property. And that kitchen is massive and an absolute dream!
