Located in a peaceful seaside area in Devon this house though recently built required extensive renovation to suit the clients’ needs. The design team at Pernille Lind Studio crafted a warm, modern retreat for a lively London family of five, seamlessly blending coastal tranquillity with urban comforts. Bursting with rich hues and natural textures, the interior mirrors the surrounding nature, offering spaces for relaxation and play. From the bespoke kitchen to the inviting guest annexe, every detail reflects a fusion of tradition and modernity, echoing the calming rhythm of seaside living.

The client already owned an impressive collection of art and vintage furniture when Alana Marie Interiors started this project in Bel Air. “My role was to create and curate moments throughout the home that allowed these pieces a moment in the spotlight.” The result is a marvellous marriage of retro and bespoke, the 70s and now.

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.

Ok I’m packing my bags and moving to Picts Hill, Langport in Somerset. Though luckily I can save myself the trip because it looks like this incredible home is in the process of being sold. I am IN LOVE with this. Gothic style and stained glass windows, Victorian minton tile floors, many fireplaces, acres of land to landscape… I’d have to do something with that kitchen though. It’s as bland as a hospital room. Listed with Roderick Thomas.

Dating back to 1871, Ellsworth rests serenely along a tranquil country road in northwestern Connecticut. Originally a sprawling 1,200-acre dairy farm, its current thirty-three-acre expanse of woodlands and fields preserves the narrative of its evolving past. Having admired the property for years, the renovation by Hendricks Churchill was carefully considered. Today, Heide Hendricks and Rafe Churchill call it home, honouring its history through ongoing enhancements, including maintaining hay fields and repurposing the dairy barn.
