Loving this clean and tailored apartment created by Chicago’s Jessica Lagrange. Typically her designs are much more modern or formal in much more extravagant homes. But this one suits me just fine. Contemporary furnishings and spirited textiles, art and accessories give a bachelor with a finite budget a beautifully appointed bespoke home. The thoughtfully considered design lends the space personality with an enduringly fresh demeanor.










New Jersey based interior designer Marisa Lafiosca started out in the fashion industry but after becoming a mom and having a large, empty Tudor style home in the suburbs to decorate, she switched focus to interiors. Her intuitive sense of color and textiles creates an earthy elegance that defines her work. Combining the classic and contemporary, fine antiques and flea market treasures, she crafts warm, inviting spaces to be lived in, not simply admired. And I just want to melt into the photo above. Stunning!



















Debbie Baxter of Texas-based Baxter Design Group was responsible for the decor in this beautiful new construction home. She calls it Malibu-inspired but I see much more mid-century modern going on here. Whatever you want to call it, the organic colour scheme keeps the decor timeless and easy-going, and the home is cozy and looks perfect for entertaining. I will be out lounging by the pool if you are looking for me. 😉










Thanks to Polish interior designer Lucyna Kołodziejska for sending in photos of her latest project – her friends’ country home near Gdańsk. It has many features that are favourites of mine – exposed brick, wood paneling (check out the ceiling!), black accent walls, and the hardwood on the main floor is a gorgeous colour. Great job once again Lucyna!
