Nestled in the tranquil Mt. Baker National Forest, Lisa Staton‘s A-frame cabin, built in the late 1970s, has undergone a complete renovation. The space now features reclaimed oak floors replacing the original shag carpets and fresh white walls. The redesigned kitchen boasts black oak cabinets, marble countertops and an open layout, while furnishings blend New England elegance with mid-century vintage charm for a cozy, stylish retreat.

Intentional is the first word that came to mind when I spotted this new project in Dawes Point, NSW by Duet. It is fairly minimal and each piece is so sculptural and unique, and overall this home has such a sophisticated vibe. This also may be one of the most beautiful kitchens I have ever seen….which is crazy coming from me since I haaaaate white kitchens. It’s the perfect mix of rustic farmhouse and modern.

Back in 2017 Jo featured a home with knotty pine walls that has gotten lots of traffic ever since, and when I spotted the cottage of Barrie, ON based designer Ashley Montgomery I had to share another wonderful example of knotty pine done right. What was once her family’s horse stable (with stalls) outside of Toronto, then became storage, then was transformed into a cool “bunkie” or sorts that sleeps ten. The pine is original from when it was built in the 1950s, and was in such great condition it was simple cleaned and lacquered. She added in some flagstone on top of the concrete floors and with a colour scheme of black and white, it turned into a functional and modernized rustic space. Knotty pine at its finest.

Whispering Dunes, a sanctuary in bustling inner Melbourne, beautifully blends heritage roots with contemporary charm. Homeroom Studio‘s design respects the home’s original character through thoughtful spatial planning and material selection. A natural, earthy palette, anchored by stone with undulating veins, evokes sandy dunes and fosters tranquillity. Rich, jewell-toned furniture contrasts harmoniously with the earthy tones, enhancing the heritage features. The result is an elegant, calming atmosphere with layered, textural furniture exuding warmth and comfort.
