Evoking Tuscany in Texas

Posted on Wed, 29 Oct 2025 by KiM

Designed as a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, this weekend home transports you straight to the rolling hills of Tuscany—right here in Texas. With its timeless charm and cozy elegance, this space is the perfect retreat for our clients to relax, unwind, and make lasting memories with family and friends. Where every detail, from flowing iron work to organic shapes, invites you to slow down and savour the moment. Its soft palette and natural textures echo the peaceful surroundings just outside.
Designed by Laura U Design Collective, this stone home is a dream on the outside and pretty on the inside. The only thing it needs is to be transported to Tuscany 🙂 Photos: Pat Bengtsson; Styling: Walker Wright.

Heritage reimagined

Posted on Tue, 28 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

In the heart of Park Slope, Lyons Studio redesigned a historic brownstone, balancing tradition with modernity. The updated layout enhances flow and function, while bespoke millwork and layered materials bring depth and warmth. Classic detailing is carefully interpreted through a contemporary lens, preserving the home’s heritage while accommodating modern living, an expression of Lyons Studio’s refined, practical and joyfully sophisticated design approach.

A coastal composition

Posted on Tue, 28 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

Set on a prime harborfront site, this 1990s Nantucket residence has been reimagined by Workshop/APD as a forever home. The design unifies its original gabled form with a refined, contemporary sensibility, anchored by a sculptural staircase in textured plaster and dark-stained wood. Reclaimed timber, wire-brushed oak, striated stone and steel paneling lend depth and tactility. True to the Workshop/APD aesthetic the home embodies an artful, unmistakable expression of modern Nantucket living.

According to a House Beautiful feature on this Toronto home, designer Ali Budd was given carte blanche on decorating the main floor and second-floor primary suite but the homeowners insisted she include a bubble gum-pink range they had purchased. And shades of pink became a reoccurring feature in most of the spaces – a saturated mauve-drenched living room, a powder room with a pink quartzite-clad vanity, a butler’s pantry in Gucci pink floral wallpaper, a blush tone rug in the primary suite…. I love it! Photos: Lauren Miller.

Spec house turned retreat

Posted on Thu, 23 Oct 2025 by KiM

Similar to the last project I featured by McLean Interiors, this spec house in Dallas, Texas is also a wonderful mix of light and dark (with dark in the rooms that I loooove seeing dark – the dining room and lounge/media/bar/games room) and an overall warm modern approach that is timeless and full of cozy furnishings. I need a big furry/fleecy chair so damn bad. Builder: Bean Co Homes; Photos: Matti Gresham.
