When I scan the latest photos posted on Instagram, I am thrilled when a new photo pops up on James Coviello‘s feed. His 1840’s Greek Revival getaway in Hudson Valley, NY is filled with incredible antiques (his passion) that are always impeccably styled. It feeds my need for traditional, imperfect, rough around the edges living – all with a little sparkle and shine and Maurice the adorable pup.















Because James F. Carter had left me quite smitten after posting his glorious home, I thought I would share a smattering of spaces from his portfolio that caught my eye. Each one as good if not better than the next.




















The Mountain Brook, Birmingham home of architect James F. Carter takes you back in time, despite being a new build. The brick Georgian style exterior is quite a beauty, and the interior is filled with classic, traditional details which sets the stage for an impressive collection of antiques. It is a home he must cherish.

Let’s run away to this rural idyll. A meandering of rooms, a clash of wallpaper and a Togo sofa hiding from the more traditional furnishings. I’m in love. A private house in Normandie by Tristan Auer.





















More from Lisa Burdus with this spectacular home in Mosman, New South Wales, Australia. It is a bit of her favourite – English country with some contemporary to keep it a bit more current and functional. Once again her layering and use of patterns is on point.
