Colours and shapes, whimsy and exuberance, bespoke and antique, eccentric and grand. Belgian designer Jean-Philippe Demeyer is in a league all his own and I’m a fan. Check out this post from several years ago of what was (and maybe still is) his home. 



















Similar to the last project by Yond Interiors I shared, this one also features lots of beautiful muted colours with a bit of a darkness that creates such a mood. There is again a warmth that is really wonderful and this takes “modern colonial” to a place that I think is really timeless and versatile and speaks to me on so many levels.

What was once a boxy, cramped 1920s lakehouse located among Ohio’s Portage Lakes, is now a swanky residence for a retired “single, older gentleman” who is I betcha going to find himself an equally swanky partner now that he has these cool digs! A bit mad men and a bit roaring ’20s is where Tanner Sammons and Jennifer Laouari of Morgan Madison Design took this home and it is possibly one of the classiest lakehouses I’ve ever seen.

Briony Delves and Graham Paull from Society of Wanderers and Sunday Sailor created rental accommodations from this 1980s home in Torquay, Victoria and played up the 80s vibe with help from interior designer Amelda Wilde. Amber glazing, tiled countertops, cork wall, graphic wallpaper, colourfully tiled bathrooms and cozy furniture make for a pretty sweet place to stay. Photos: Cricket Studio. 
























Frances Merrill of Reath Design created magic in another jaw-dropping home and I could not love this more. It is full of colour and whimsy, an eclectic mix of styles (super feminine, diner-chic, granny vintage and some 50s retro) and patterns and textures that are drool-worthy. It’s our first week posting for 2024 and I’m already wondering what I can find this year that would top this. Photos: Laure Joliet
