While on the subject of traditional homes, I thought I would share this 1929 farmhouse designed by, once again, Heide Hendricks. It is exactly the type of home I imagine when I think of life on Prince Edward Island (where my husband is from). I have to show this to my mother-in-law. Maybe she won’t think I’m such a nutcase if she sees I blogged this. 😉

I could not help but think of my upcoming trip when I spotted this ranch the other day. Located in Bernal, New Mexico with views of Starvation Peak, it is quintessentially southwestern. It is a new build, designed by Caroline Dooley, and made to appear over 100 years old. The wood flooring is to die for with those colour variations, and the beamed ceilings are a fabulous rustic touch. Like the home I featured earlier, this too would make a superb vacation spot. 

I must be getting old. Sometimes a simply restored historic room just does it for me. I don’t always have to be about moderism, quirky or scandi 😉 Upperville, VA house restoration by Clites Architects, PC.

Here is another project by Rethink Design Studio I wanted to share. This is definitively leaning towards traditional with a really soothing colour palette. And the fact that I don’t mind such a traditional space means this group of designers really know their stuff and can appeal to a broad range of tastes. Kudos to that. And kudos on the use of that glorious tufted chaise in the bedroom.

Though I am still not over the gloriousness of the loft in my previous post, here is another project by Jenny Wolf that proves this designer can whip up just about anything and make it fresh and hip. Even when you’re using granny’s chair (above). This apartment is fairly traditional and classic, yet she manages to keep it cool. Very impressive.
