So bright, so many curves, so much attention to detail (that dining nook photo is going in the inspiration folder). I have no problem making the assertion that Paris designers have all the fun. ALWAYS.

Pappas Miron again demonstrating the power of textures and patterns to add warmth to a space. A condo that could feel very cold is enveloped in a large tapestry, book storage, wallpaper and a dark wall to add all the cozy feels. (Photos: Tim Lenz)

This 13th century castle is an intrinsic part of the Puy-de-Dôme department and has a rich past closely linked to the royal history of France. Restoration works began in the 1990’s and are still ongoing. A superb example of heritage restoration supervised by a master architect specialised in French Historic Buildings, an architecture historian and a host of landscape gardeners. The current owners have poured all their energy into breathing new life into the property and its activities, modernising it without changing its architecture. Its natural setting, the building itself, its large function rooms and reception areas, its landscaped vistas, the gardens and the still-water pool, as well as its secret passageway through the dry moat are all assets and delights just waiting to be explored.
An absolutely breathtaking property, with sooo much history and love poured into it over the years. For sale, and more info via Patrick Besse.

Warmth and charm were infused into this 1790’s farm by clearly defining the personality of every room – yet having small moments of connection to make the home feel complete. We worked with the home’s existing floor plan to maintain the historical character and updated all the finishes, paint colors and furnishings so it’s liveable but not too precious.
This is how you pay homage to the history of a home. With charm and comfort oozing from every corner. Another project designed by Washington based Cameron Ruppert. Photographer: Stacy Zarin Goldberg. (Link here in case you missed my feature last week of a much bolder but equally charming home)

Welcome to Katie Rosenfeld‘s new-old home. A historic Tudor that is a feast for the eyes. I love all of the patterns, the earthiness and the bits of black throughout. Photos: Read McKendree
The extensive renovation of this home took place in the height of the Covid pandemic, and was inspired by the history of the home and the Anglophile homeowner’s obsession with all things British. The result is a quirky, unfitted family home that celebrates imperfection, nooks and crannies and showcases a home well lived in. There are character references throughout.
In Katie’s own home, you see her unleashed whimsy and sense of humor, while managing to stick with classic, iconic and historically appropriate touches.
