Set in the lively heart of Seattle, this Craftsman home was transformed for a Brooklyn couple into a summer retreat that marries modern architecture with traditional elements. Tasked with softening the stark, contemporary updates like the steel staircase, we painted the interiors in a warm Alabaster by Sherwin-Williams, creating a cozy atmosphere ideal for both relaxation and entertainment. The renovation embraced the couple’s urban style while staying true to the home’s Craftsman roots, blending sophisticated urban tastes with practical, stylish living. The result is a harmoniously updated space that feels timeless, marrying the classic with the contemporary in a way that is both inviting and uniquely personal.
I do love this home (my home is a Craftsman too) and the classic style designer Lisa Staton inbued throughout is really pretty but I can’t help but think how much more warmth and beauty would be present if all the woodwork everywhere hadn’t been painted/effort taken to strip it. UGH.

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

Belén Ferrándiz blends modern and traditional elements to create timeless, elegant and functional interiors. In this project—a restored home in a small town in Spain’s Santander Valley—she preserved original features like stone, shutters and ceiling details, painted white to enhance light. With open spaces, soft tones and a mix of antique and contemporary furnishings, the result is a serene, cozy retreat designed for relaxation and rural charm.

Studio Ashby, known for its refined and eclectic interiors, reimagined the St Germain Grand Apartment on Paris’s Left Bank. In collaboration with architect Antoinette Zalewski two separate apartments were transformed into one elegant duplex overlooking the Seine and Louvre. The renovation included new parquet flooring, bespoke panelling, a staircase and custom rugs. Blending antique and modern elements, the design drew inspiration from Parisian tones featuring a calm, neutral palette and artisanal craftsmanship to create a timeless, sophisticated home.

Studio Meghan Eisenberg blends respect for architectural history with bold yet relaxed design. In Treehaven, a 1908 Craftsman in Mount Washington Los Angeles, the design honours the home’s historic character while introducing playful touches for a young family. A key transformation included enclosing the front porch to create a flexible lounge space that flows seamlessly into the dining area.
