I’m really digging the vintage vibes in this Hampstead apartment designed by Lonika Chande, but CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE YELLOW KITCHEN! WOW! That shade of yellow could not be more perfect. This is one to stash in the inspiration folder immediately! A former Artist’s studio, this dated first floor apartment was reconfigured to create a unique London pied-à-terre. An artist herself, the client already owned some pieces that she was keen to incorporate, and these formed the basis of the schemes. Focusing on a warm, earthy palette created the perfect backdrop for the existing artworks, sourced antiques and furnishings. (And check out this project by Lonika Jo featured last year)










There is nothing pretentious or precious in this gorgeous heritage home in Wellesley, Massachusetts designed by Katie Rosenfeld. It is vibrant and youthful with a hint of elegance. I love this home so much but I can’t quite decide which I love more – the dining room or the kitchen. (Photos: Read McKendree)

















There’s something about Paris style, that you can’t quite put it into words but when you see it YOU KNOW. Alix Thomsen is a Paris designer and though this sample from her portfolio is a broad mic of styles YOU JUST KNOW. Also, Paris architecture rules all.

















This Oxford home is what country living dreams are made of. An absolute beauty inside and out. Much of the furnishings are quite traditional but if you look a little closer you will spot details that are a bit more current, which makes me love this even more. Designed by VSP Interiors.






















I am such a huge fan of Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, as you may have come to realize over the years. Her team’s ability to take homes with history, filled with original details, and sympathetically remodel them to make them functional for today’s lifestyle is always impeccable and so perfectly executed. This home in Iowa City takes you back in time yet is contemporary and vivacious. I could not love this more.
