Felin Cottage. The perfect Welsh cottage hideaway. Sleeping up to 8 guests, with two living spaces, log burner and roll top bath, Felin is a place to escape and make memories. A great family friendly cottage option, or perfect for a couples weekend escape. There are handmade box bunks for our little (and not so little) guests, and a wonderful courtyard garden to enjoy all year round.
This cottage is the freaking sweetest!!!! I love how rustic and basic and earthy it is. The perfect place to book for a getaway when you really want to getaway from city life. Book this gem here.

Holbrook House by Melbourne-based Brahman Perera is a modern family home that balances contemporary requirements with a deep appreciation for early 20th-century design. By integrating personal experiences and memories, he creates a space suitable for a growing family. The home explores sculptural joinery, contrasting finishes and iconic furniture design. Natural light is enriched by deep timbers, aged brass and varied stones. Vertical architecture and thoughtful circulation shape the flow, while lighting and textures zone key areas. The joinery, designed as furniture pieces, brings unexpected, sculptural details, blending Art Deco influences into a contemporary living context.

As it always goes, Sean Anderson shares a new project and I completely fall head over heels in love and dream of selling everything I own and trying to replicate his deliciously brooding style that is always the perfect mix of light and dark (but more dark, which is in my humble opinion is the ideal ratio). This Greek Revival home in Memphis has such incredible architectural details which make his choices of colours, materials and furnishings really stand out. Every single thing in this home is perfection. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

This custom-built home is not only the personal residence of Allison Willson and her family but represents everything design means to her. Nestled on 50 acres of rolling hills just outside of Creemore, Ontario, the farm is a testament to Allison’s appreciation of craftsmanship. It has a long and linear layout, paired with rustic selections and a palette that defies traditional hues, resulting in a unique blend of contemporary and old-world charm. From the rubble-finished limestone to the carefully chosen furnishings, the house unites the beauty of natural materials, timeworn antiques, and modern furnishings while remaining warm, elevated, and, most importantly, liveable.
What an absolutely stunning home!!! I don’t have too many Canadian designers I admire but Allison is now one I will be keeping an eye on. So many elements in her home that I’m sure would be inspirational for my next home. Photos: Patrick Biller.
