Cottage living in the country but make it elevated. This stunning home in Hailburton, Ontario is soooo beautiful and despite my love of colour, it is truly relaxing and easy on the eyes with all of the neutral tones and woods used throughout. As a getaway from the craziness of the city it is the perfect palette. So many wonderful textures too – stone walls in the living room and kitchen, raffia walls and seagrass pendants in the dining room, white oak walls and ceilings… Designed by Allison Willson.

This home in Palm Springs is a midcentury DREAM! House of Tomorrow was the home Elvis and Priscilla were to be married in but instead became their honeymoon hideaway. New owners purchased it in 2021 and with the help of designer Michelle Boudreau they sensitively reinvigorated the property, leaving the exterior seemingly untouched and gently modernized the interior. I am obsessed with that living room (rock wall, custom 14′ curved sofa, floating fireplace) and kitchen (verde allegre quartzite countertops, circular cooktop with custom exhaust hanging in the middle)!

Inspired by the relaxed elegance of Milan, this inner-city apartment’s kitchen renovation by A.mi reimagines a poorly planned, hidden space dominated by a large structural column. The client’s vision for La Cucina was to create an inviting, theatrical chef’s kitchen that seamlessly connects with the dining area. A striking trumpeted island bench was designed to integrate the column, serving as a central gathering spot where guests can sit, stand and engage with the chef or fellow diners.

In case you find the castles I’ve been sharing lately a bit…overwhelming I wanted to share this charming, adorable home in the village of Salento with you because you can get oodles of charm and incredible original details in something way less pretentious. And in this case for only €450,000.
Typical Salentine “a corte” house, the result of the recent conservative renovation of three small residential units that has led to the creation of two potentially unifiable homes sharing an entrance courtyard and a lush garden at the back. The interior spaces are well organized, featuring a spacious living room with an open kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom with a small ante-bathroom, a small toilet, and an external corridor leading to the flourishing orchard. The other unit has a double entrance, one into a large lounge topped by the characteristic star-shaped vault and the other into a welcoming room with a barrel vault, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. A stone staircase leads to the terrace level, where a loft with a laundry bathroom has been created, currently designated as a guest room. In the kitchen, the ancient fireplace stands out, and the living space directly connects to the back garden facing west, linked to the adjacent orchard by a wide gate. The garden is equipped for pleasant outdoor stays with a gazebo, barbecue area, and pizza oven. On the lower level of the residence, the two ancient cellars have been restored and are easily accessible from the garden. For sale via Sotheby’s International Realty – Italy.

Project Alton House. Earthy, moody, and inviting—our concept for this home was inspired by the property’s private forest setting, with an aesthetic that balances the simplicity of natural materials with English-inspired sophistication. In both the exterior and interior, we opted for rich neutrals and enduring style—with plenty of opportunities inside for our client, a ceramicist, to showcase her work.
This house is beautiful. So classic and timeless with colours and finishes that are not trendy and could last for years. By TIffany Leigh Design; Photos: Patrick Biller; Styling: Me&Mo; Build: Kingsgate Construction
