This 1850s federal-style brownstone in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston is already as cute as can be, but Nina Farmer got her hands on it and added some really bold colours, sheen and patterns and upped the personality factor by 1000%. I am adding so many photos of this project to my inspiration folder, but particularly of the kitchen. I am soooo tired of boring and bland kitchens and this one could not be further from that.

Brisbane-based Langlois Design‘s brief was to transform the existing residence, giving the architecture a modern lift, and seamlessly blending the clients’ styles. Emphasizing clean lines and layered textures, the home has become a vibrant oasis. The renovation focused on the kitchen, opening up space for better flow and incorporating a round, tiered island bench for functionality. The kitchen’s finishes reflected the clients’ personalities with organic shapes, olive green and teak joinery, terrazzo, mosaic tiles and modern tapware, creating an energizing yet homey atmosphere.

Located in the heart of the picturesque historic centre of Olot, this majestic three-storey manor house evokes the elegance and charm of the early 20th century. With a total built area of 702 square metres and situated on a plot of 985 square metres, this property offers a perfect blend of history and modernity. Original architectural elements, carefully preserved, such as ornamental mouldings, mosaic floors, and guillotine windows, add character and authenticity to every corner. A total of 18 rooms and 4 complete bathrooms spread across its various levels. Additionally, this property boasts an extensive garden and orchard.
A home so full of character and history and such beautiful details I had to share despite it being unfurnished. Incredible opportunity to have so much space and be right in the heart of the city (pros and cons to that mind you). For sale for €750,000 via Lucas Fox.

Is it because it rains alot in the UK that designers seem to have a boatload of fun with colours when designing a home – to combat the gloominess of what’s going on outside? I don’t know what their deal is but they should keep it coming because I am in awe of their willingness to go all out in just about every room. Hats off to Studio Holland for bringing in all sorts of wonderful colours in this full renovation of a large family country house in Sussex.

I am completely in awe and frankly quite jealous of these spaces in a 1920s Tudor home designed by Whittney Parkinson. You’ve got a spacious kitchen with gorgeous cabinetry & countertops & arched tiled wall & a statement hood fan situation with a gem of a butler’s pantry, a mudroom and laundry room that are so functional but also soooo stylish, and a pile of bathrooms that have such pretty details, never mind that one of them looks larger than my living room. *GASP*
