It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. One Cosmetic by Esoteriko.

I don’t think many interior designers have their client announce that they want a black kitchen. But using that concept to then go hunt for a designer online and coming upon the moody and edgy work of Monique Gibson seems like a match made in heaven. This weekend retreat designed by architect Teo Siguenza was already under construction when Monique joined the project and she added her signature sophistication and dark, contemporary touch to make it a modern farmhouse like no other. I have been obsessed with her work since the early days of this blog and this home’s next level drama is exactly why. Photos: William Abranowicz; Styling: Colin King.

Le Petit Mas in Provence is Celine’s own 400-year-old home and a true labour of love. Restored slowly and thoughtfully, the latest chapter is the kitchen, where bespoke local joinery meets a vintage island and cabinet, blending old and new with warmth.

This apartment in the Upper East Side was bland and had a senseless layout. In came Emma Beryl who created a cool hangout for a family with a couple of kids to use on weekends (dictated the pandemic). It now has some really great built in storage, a dark and dramatic room for the kids that houses a daybed with trundle so it does double duty when the kids aren’t there, and a much better layout in the kitchen. Stylish and timeless and really functional.
