San Francisco interior designer Kriste Michelini has a signature style – it’s all about classic, modern spaces that are simple, timeless and completely functional and stylish. Her kitchens are so bright and fresh – fabulous! P.S. Several of these photos are of her own gutted and renovated home. 

It’s been a while since I blogged some projects by Parisian interior designer Sarah Lavoine (see here and here). She is one of my favourite designers – amazing creativity, unpretentious style, and not afraid to go bold. Here is another project of hers with lots of bits and bobs to love. The smooshy sectional, the perfect blue-grey wall, the handy rod on the kitchen backsplash, to-die-for dressing rooms, black cozy attic, a painted floor in dramatic stripes…

Interior designer, real estate maven, stager, design concierge, kitchen and bathroom expert. Meet Kathleen Perkins and the latest of her latest brownstone renovation a 19th century carriage house in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. An amazing mix of carefully restored original features, contemporary style and Asian influences. A fabulous retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps. It’s no fluke though. Kathleen has renovated 5 brownstones in the past seven years!

There were more goodies in Staffan Tollgård‘s portfolio that I had to share. Again, another mix of modern (love the grey hardwood and coordinating kitchen cabinets and stone accent wall) and contemporary (love the mauve colour scheme for the bedroom and the slightly retro feel of the black and white bathroom – my favourite bathroom colour palette). 

This home in Notting Hill designed by British interior design firm Staffan Tollgård is an absolute dream. The architecture (moldings, gorgeous staircase, massive kitchen window) combined with the dramatic modern/contemporary furnishings and eclectic/funky accents (how cool is that wall of vintage cage pendants, and the random dump truck art in the kitchen) makes this one spectacular home that I could move right into and not change a thing – except I’d lose the dead owl, and switch out the light fixture in the living room for something less pretty.
