Oh what I would do to get my hands on a home like this! Gothic revival architecture – yes please! A fireplace in the kitchen – yes please! A sunroom (with an exterior that looks like a little cottage) – yes please! Timelessly classic traditional design with a touch of modernity – yes please! Design: L.B. Copeland; Architecture: Bohl Architects; Photos: Adam Kane Macchia

A manor house in Wiltshire

Posted on Mon, 1 Apr 2024 by KiM

You are about to be transported to the countryside of Wiltshire, where traditional British style is aplenty and the colours are heart-warming and vibrant. Where black and white tiled foyers and a classic details and patterns are everywhere creating layers and visual interest. Eyre Interiors really created a beautiful home here.

Slade Hooton Hall

Posted on Wed, 21 Feb 2024 by KiM

This impressive Grade II*-listed house was built in the William and Mary style of the 17th century. Sitting within over four acres of private grounds, the house enjoys far-reaching views over South Yorkshire’s surrounding countryside. Unfolding over 5,500 sq ft, the house has two fantastic reception rooms, a generous kitchen and eight bedrooms, as well as numerous outbuildings. One of the earliest classically-designed houses of the region, a sympathetic restoration has preserved some of its exceptional original features, such as the trompe l’œil painting crowing the main staircase. Complete with a swimming pool, an entertaining hall, orchards and a greenhouse, the house makes for a wonderful self-contained oasis. 
Dear gawd, where do I sign?!?! This home is soooo checking all my boxes. And (massive Aga) then (pool) some (glasshouse…greenhouse…lake…outbuildings…conservatory…fountain…). For sale via Inigo.

A 19th century château in Lorient, France

Posted on Sun, 11 Feb 2024 by KiM

I am really smitten with the moody vibes of this château for sale in Lorient, France built in 1840. The description must have been created using ChatGPT because it’s a large paragraph that says virtually nothing. I can tell you this is 6,889 sq ft, 21 rooms that includes 9 bedrooms, with an absolutely terrible kitchen and oddly, not a single photo of the exterior. BIZARRE. I would have soooo much fun working with some of the existing elements of this and then filling it with much more appropriate antique furniture. For sale for €1,160,000 via Barnes International Realty.
