Dream home alert! Beautiful, big Georgian/Victorian country house set in 140 acres of parkland with formal gardens, a valley garden with rare rhododendron trees and two large lakes. The house’s X-factor is a large, bright and unique Victorian conservatory with 80 year old camellia trees planted within it. Located in Kent. Stonewall Park is available as a location home via JJ Media Group.

What an absolutely beautiful example of blending a home in with the landscape. In this case it’s a home of traditional Mallorcan architecture made of local sandstone, with the Serra de Tramontana mountains in the background. The home’s structures form a courtyard that houses a pool surrounded by more stone. Hats off to Twobo architecture for creating this masterpiece.

Blending old and new will forever be a favourite of mine. That tension is so intriguing, and Fern Santini did just that in this Austin home – complete with huge modern addition. The dining features a vintage zinc top table and very modern chairs, the kitchen island displays vintage lab beakers on original stands, a vintage leather sofa takes pride of place in the study, the guest suite and laundry/office/sewing room maintains their original shiplap ceilings…. it’s such a wonderful mix of past and present.

Opulent, elegant, sophisticated and refined. Not to everyone’s taste but there’s an other-worldy quality to Alidad‘s spaces that provide an escape to the everyday.

It has been a while since I thought about what my favourite colour is. When I came across this home designed by Studio Kaya I quickly realized it is green. Because I love the outdoors so much and have too many plants all over my house I guess this makes total sense. But it’s really the warmth and energy that green in any shade exudes. And this home is so wonderfully serene because of the beautiful shades of green mixed with warm wood and off white.
