Imagine owning a turn of the century working barn tucked away in a canyon, nestled in the foothills. Now imagine converting it into a comfortable three-bedroom retreat from the city while retaining much of its original form, character and history. Think modern aesthetic with a raw palette.

It’s Valentines Day and I could think of nothing better than escaping to a rustic little cottage, fire roaring in a stone fireplace, the sound of waves crashing just metres away. Sea Roost from the owners of Mate Gallery would be the perfect romantic getaway. Two cottages nestled in mature landscape at Montauk. I know you won’r mind if I don’t invite you, just my husband.

Amid the hills and forest of Ibiza lies a newly built white-washed villa that exudes comfort and is understatedly luxurious. Designed by South African La Grange Interiors, this modern finca is a magical escape for an urban couple with a neutral palette and an incredibly beautiful exterior. (Photos: Elsa Young)

I have imagined for many years of living in a mid century modern home, an industrial loft, and a rustic relic of a home. This would be the rustic relic of my dreams. It is a 16th century oak framed farmhouse 2 hours outside of London, set on 2 acres of wild gardens and meadows, with 7 bedrooms and numerous outbuildings. I could cry this is so beautiful. Available as a location home through Shoot Factory.

Boston-based designer Nina Farmer bought this 1950s single-story home set on its own private beach on Martha’s Vineyard, went against the grain and gave it some Moroccan touches, and then sold it. Beach vibes be damned! Unexpected is the way to go, always.
