It may be a display bathroom for Casadecor but a girl can dream that it’s all her own. I actually wanted to just type a long, long line of drool emojis for this post but I’ll let the pictures do the talking. Casadecor Exposición 2021 by Madrid-based Estudio María Santos.

The off grid cabin (Western Catskills) was built in the 70’. Working with those bones, yet seeking its soul back… we aimed to anchor it further back in times – early 1800’ of the earliest property usage as a mill. The original wood mill showed its stone walls reminiscences in the brook, a stroll away bellow the cabin. The interior shape shift mood with a wall patina intended as a crude faux plaster who had endure times. The wood ceiling were sanded down to knock the varnish shine, they may white wash at a later phase. Antique screen doors set were used for closets & pantry, along with antique furniture. A mix of drop cloth canvas curtains, antique textiles & rugs help to insulate during the long winter, while owner’s pelts, skulls & local history artifacts collection set the cabin on its renewed time lapse …reminiscing the past in present time.

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. Sessùn Madrid by Cobalto Studio.

In a highly privileged location on a pedestrian street in Girona’s romantic old town, we find this exceptional property for sale. It is a magnificent historic manor house with a built size of 1,140 m² and an idyllic walled garden of 409 m² with a beautiful portico. Having such a large garden is very rare at the heart of the city. The property is brimming with original period features, ​such as beautiful coloured mosaic floor tiles, large balcony windows and impressive high ceilings, as the interiors have been almost untouched for nearly a century. The house currently has 8 bedrooms and 5 offices, therefore there is space for at least 13 bedrooms, making it ideal for conversion into a luxury boutique hotel or into separate spacious apartments with a communal garden. There is also an attic of 135 m² with the potential to raise the roof height and convert it into a penthouse apartment with an amazing terrace of over 100 m² with lovely views across the old town rooftops.
The potential of this home knows no bounds. It’s such a shame the current owners have done nothing to enhance its beauty. For sale for €2,500,000 via Lucas Fox.

New homes tend to be so sterile and void of interesting architectural details. But not when Anne McDonald is on the project. A stairwell with cutouts that make it really pop, a double sided masonry fireplace and some shiplap/paneled walls really help provide an old world, vintage vibe.
