The Connecticut Basket House is a full-scale renovation by Moore House Design, bringing fresh energy to a historic 1830s home set along the Silvermine River. Once a working basketmaker’s workshop, the house has been thoughtfully reimagined to balance heritage character with modern livability. The transformation includes a redesigned kitchen and pantry, new dining and living spaces, custom tilework and handcrafted finishes, with woven latticework, hand-painted tiles and bespoke plaster details celebrating its artisanal roots in a warm, welcoming way.

Lexington, Kentucky designer Isabel Ladd‘s mottos are ‘More is more, less is a bore’ & ‘Beige is NOT a color’ & ‘Mix + DON’T match’. Words to live by for sure, and are very much exemplified in her maximalist portfolio. Really fun spaces with lots going on – in a really good way.

At only 1500 sq ft, this 1960s ranch house in on the North Fork of Long Island seems much larger with it’s white painted walls and ceilings (vaulter ceilings sure help), the addition of a screened porch that feels like an extension of the living room and a new window in the kitchen. Some casual furnishings (in a high-low mix) in shades of white, dark and wood make this weekend retreat an absolute delight for designer and homeowner Dan Mazzarini of BHDM.

To Hollywood power couple Ruben Fleischer and Holly Shakoor Fleischer’s 10,000 square feet Tudor Revival home in Montclair, New Jersey—which was built in 1908 and had previously served as a designer showhouse—we added a sense of cohesion, stripping out some newer elements that had been added over the years, to focus on the building’s original details. We lightened up the formal living room with sculptural furniture, like an asymmetrical velvet-covered boomerang sofa atop a shaggy patchwork Moroccan rug. In the dining room, we resurfaced the fireplace surround with custom watery-blue glazed tile, painted the original woodwork deep midnight blue, and added floral wallpaper that played off the Kehinde Wiley painting that we hung in the room. Then, because the family loves playing together, we created a video arcade for their vintage machines, an art-making room, and a Lego-building room, in addition to his-and-hers offices.
Studio DB did so right by this house. I cannot praise them enough for maintaining some of the original architectural details which look soooo incredible juxtaposed against the modern design scheme. Taking the history of the home seriously but not THAT seriously. Photos: Matthew Williams; Styling Lili Diallo.
