A guest cottage in Tennesee

Posted on Thu, 5 Jun 2025 by KiM

Give me all the wood-wrapped homes! This guest cottage in Tennessee is wrapped in honey-coloured hickory that adds such a warmth and makes you feel like you’re in a tree house. Other elements add to the coziness and bring more natural elements in like the sloped ceilings, smaller rooms, they left the fieldstone foundation and chimney bare, and heated stone pavers in the ground floor rooms. Designer Tammy Connor and architect Stanley Dixon really nailed this project.

Studio Ashby is renowned for creating soulful interiors with timeless elegance and an eclectic spirit. At Villa Robert Graves, part of Belmond Hotels’ La Residencia in Mallorca, the studio led a sensitive renovation celebrating local heritage. Working with artisans, they incorporated Mallorcan linens, ceramics, and antique pieces. Inspired by the Tramuntana mountains, the interiors blend natural materials, vibrant patterns, and curated art to craft an immersive, characterful indoor-outdoor living experience.

A party barn in the Cotswolds

Posted on Wed, 28 May 2025 by KiM

I declare that every Cotswolds residence needs a party barn! It makes complete sense if you have a barn on your property that needs some love. In this case it involves exposed stone walls, tons of storage, reclaimed wood, a massive 20 person dining table that can move out of the way to make room for a dance floor, a kitchen with bi-fold doors to close it off so the dinner mess can wait until morning, and lots of space for guests to sleep. I love this sooooo much! Designed by Dalrymple Studio. Photos: Dean Hearne.

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.
