And here I thought my house had some pretty special architectural details. This Park Slope townhouse was designed by Tamara Eaton, and WOW how I am envious that she was a part of this. I would have had a minor stroke just walking in the door and seeing this absolutely incredible woodwork (for the low price of $2.695 million says this New York Times feature).  The Times quoted owner Christina Anderson: I love wallpaper, tufted furniture, nail heads, chandeliers, all that Hollywood glamour. We had a very modern house in Manhattan Beach, and the question was how to fit our mod stuff into a Victorian house. The mix of new with flea market finds with some glamorous light fixtures makes this home not so traditional and adds a youthful spark. My dream home.

I just had to share another project from Hare + Klein. Their new website has my head spinning with inspiration. House after house, photo after photo. Simply stunning. Like this family home redo in Manly, Sydney just a stones throw from the water. No tired old blue and white beach theme here. Just rich colour, texture and personality. Earthy. Warm like the sun. Casual and stylish just like a beach side family home should be.

A prewar New York apartment is transformed into a brooding, masculine abode with a nod to the darkside and a temple to the television. Beautiful, bespoke storage features throughout including the gallery display in the entrance foyer. Clean lined and rich. By raad studio.

When a designer creates a cubby for a charity auction to raise money for homeless youth what else would you expect but something very special? The Vardo Hut Cubby by Doherty Design Studio.

I adore this simple and eclectic Parisian (Neuilly-sur-Seine) apartment I caught myself drooling over when I paid a visit to The Socialite Family. It is the home of Mary Erlingsen and her two young daughters. As a big fan of photography as art, I love her collection and the graphic edge it lends to the spaces. I am hoping this will push me to find a photo I have taken to blow up and hang over my sofa. I have one I think may be perfect… (Photos: Constance Gennari)
