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.

Give me all the old-world, centuries-old, weathered interiors. Sandstone and limewashed walls, fireplaces with wood-fired stoves, reclaimed wood, antique furniture…all in pretty earthy neutral shades of calm. I could not love these spaces more, designed by Notting Hill based studio Aldridge & Supple. Photos: Martin Morrell.

I am totally obsessed with outdoor spaces that provide shelter and a place to hang out and enjoy nature (I’m extra obsessed since we built our greenhouse). This folly or gazebo in Antwerp designed by Joris Van Apers Studio was made out of reclaimed materials and was positioned to enjoy the evening sun and a view of the pond. I have of course already sent this to my husband and added to my inspiration folder. This is my favourite post so far of 2025 I love it THAT MUCH 🙂 Photos: Jo Pauwels.

A Colorado mountain retreat for a creative Los Angeles family. Drawn to the rugged beauty of Telluride, the family envisioned a vacation home that blended the charm of a traditional log cabin with the effortless cool of their bohemian lifestyle. The log cabin was a timeworn space with orange-hued logs, outdated layouts, and a “Home-on-the-Range” aesthetic. Moore House Design reimagined the home, blending midcentury furniture, scattered patterns, and contemporary mountain elements for a space that feels cozy, stylish, and authentically theirs.
This is sooooo cool!!! Not sure how they got the orange logs into that beautiful deep brown but WOW this is a dream log cabin full of life and incredibly stylish and cozy. Photos: Jared Kuzia.

In case you find the castles I’ve been sharing lately a bit…overwhelming I wanted to share this charming, adorable home in the village of Salento with you because you can get oodles of charm and incredible original details in something way less pretentious. And in this case for only €450,000.
Typical Salentine “a corte” house, the result of the recent conservative renovation of three small residential units that has led to the creation of two potentially unifiable homes sharing an entrance courtyard and a lush garden at the back. The interior spaces are well organized, featuring a spacious living room with an open kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom with a small ante-bathroom, a small toilet, and an external corridor leading to the flourishing orchard. The other unit has a double entrance, one into a large lounge topped by the characteristic star-shaped vault and the other into a welcoming room with a barrel vault, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. A stone staircase leads to the terrace level, where a loft with a laundry bathroom has been created, currently designated as a guest room. In the kitchen, the ancient fireplace stands out, and the living space directly connects to the back garden facing west, linked to the adjacent orchard by a wide gate. The garden is equipped for pleasant outdoor stays with a gazebo, barbecue area, and pizza oven. On the lower level of the residence, the two ancient cellars have been restored and are easily accessible from the garden. For sale via Sotheby’s International Realty – Italy.
