There is no description for this absolutely breathtaking landscaping project by Dan Pearson Studio. All that really needs to be said is this is so perfect I could cry.

Feeding my courtyard obsession

Posted on Mon, 29 Apr 2024 by KiM

Last week I shared this art studio, that is part of the Spray Farm Estate in Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula. Well, this is the courtyard. And I have a courtyard obsession so I’m sharing this little slice of heaven with you also. This secluded European-style courtyard was created to be sympathetic to the existing architecture and 170 years of heritage, and it is filled with soooo much charm. Designed by Watts Studio and implemented by King’s Landscaping, what an epic outdoor space this would be to fill with potted plants and hang out with friends. Photos: Simon Griffiths.

As much as I love colour and pattern, the soothing vibes of a totally neutral home like this Edwardian 6 bedroom house in rural Sussex also tugs at my heartstrings. I also thought I was completely over the lime washed walls craze but it’s soooo perfect in this home these folks get a pass. Available as a location home via Shoot Factory.

Part 2 of Tapawingo Lake Camp consists of the Gathering Lodge (includes a speakeasy and card room and another stone fireplace – you can never have too many!), the Dining Hall with yet another stone fireplace with built-in banquettes on either side (OMGGGGG I love this) as well as an 18 person dining table and the cutest butler’s pantry, and Darwin’s Library (with another stone fireplace!!).

Tapawingo Lake Camp – part 1

Posted on Wed, 17 Apr 2024 by KiM

Tapawingo Lake Camp is a lakeside family retreat in Wisconsin that is so picturesque and rustic and cozy that I could totally see myself spending the rest of my days in a home like this (but maybe wayyyyy smaller). It’s the best of cabin/camp/cottage living. Complete with numerous outbuildings for various activities, log cabin architecture, massive stone fireplaces and lake views that can’t be beat. This post features the exterior, family cabin, and east and west house. The rest to come in the following post.
