Here. This is where I want to be today. I’m decor daydreaming and this Cortijo (farmhouse) by Madrid-based mother and daughter interior designers Susana Beltrán and Elena Ayuso of La Californie is the perfect mix of history with a touch of modern convenience. Don’t get me started on the tiles! Beautiful.

Back in January I featured some spaces by New York based designer Hadley Wiggins and the goodness continues so here is another look.

This 18th century castle near Toulouse, France (for sale via Patrick Besse) might just be the most spectacular castle I have ever seen. I am so in awe by the magic that this home exudes through these photos and the possibilities of living surrounded by such unspeakable beauty, that I am almost in tears (the kitchen alone is tear-worthy). I feature these magical homes not simply to fill a void on Sundays but because I am so smitten with the idea that something so otherworldly exists out there and can be owned by any one of us. The possibility literally brings tears to my eyes. One can dream and hope….

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps that it’s über stylish and there is nothing more über stylish than interior designers and their own office. Büro, Berlin by Antonius Schimmelbusch.

This San Francisco Victorian had a prior life as a somewhat neglected rental unit. Our clients felt compelled to rescue it and make it their Bay Area home base. We were fortunate enough to be asked to collaborate on this project, giving the space new life. Upgrades in the spaces were a must. However, all changes were done with thoughtfulness and with an eye towards not only practical changes, but ensuring a dusting of design magic throughout this new home. Forgoing neutral colors, we went bold and bright throughout. I really love the shades of blue and green and fun wallpapers and tile used in this home designed by Banner Day Interiors.
