A Victorian vicarage reimagined

Posted on Thu, 21 Aug 2025 by midcenturyjo

Wandsworth Vicarage is a Victorian rectory in South West London, reimagined by Tamsin Saunders of Home & Found with sensitivity and character. Once tired and neutrally decorated, the house has been transformed into a warm, vibrant home that feels as though it evolved over decades rather than through a single renovation. By introducing colour, pattern and texture, and carefully layering antiques, vintage lighting and bespoke pieces, Tamsin created interiors that reflect the clients’ personalities while honouring the building’s history. Spaces open to the garden and connect through thoughtful views, giving each room purpose and flow. From a softened conservatory to richly detailed living areas and tranquil bedrooms, the house now balances heritage with comfort, intimacy with grandeur and artistry with everyday life.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish and there’s nowhere more stylish than a designer’s own offices. MED Design Office by Meredith Ellis.

A warm and dynamic Silverlake home transformation

Posted on Wed, 15 Jan 2025 by midcenturyjo

“Together with our talented clients James Chinlund and Clare Crespo we transformed a 1950s era home in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles into a dynamic and warm living space suited to the way the family spends time together and entertains. By capturing an under-utilized second story balcony we created built-in seating with breathtaking views of the hills and a connection between the kitchen and living spaces.”

Inviting spaces with a certain glow from wood and wide windows. A touch of Japanese and respect for the house’s mid-century roots. This home renovation is by Los Angeles-based Lovers Unite, an architecture and design studio creating one-of-a-kind homes.
