When Kirsten Dunst’s ranch home in San Fernando Valley designed by Hallworth first made the rounds on the internet I was totally smitten but didn’t bother posting it here but I revisited Hallworth’s portfolio and came across it again and I love it so much I need to post it now. It is just so full of character and whimsy and statement items that make it so special (like that kitchen as a whole but particularly the 19th-century terra-cotta floor tiles by Chateau Domingue). I love that every piece of furniture looks so cozy that I would desperately want to give each one a go. Also love how much texture and worn-ness almost every piece has. Photos: Laure Joliet.
Rooted in her love and appreciation for a rich, soulful space, Claire Brody enjoys sourcing an interesting mix of vintage, heirloom, and antique objects for both her personal projects and clients’ homes. Claire’s inventory includes an eclectic mix of origins and ages ranging from the 18th century to the mid 20th century and especially loves a primitive or hand crafted piece. Layering unexpected colors, textures and lines is her secret to achieving one-of-a-kind spaces that feel authentic and evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth.
Really love the vintage vibes of these spaces, and that are paint approach of using colour on all the trim vs painting out the walls. I’ll always be a fan of this, and it’s soooo good if you have a bit of a fear of colour. Photos: Jenna McElroy & James H. Ruiz.
Another must share from Heidi Caillier‘s recently completed projects is this beautiful home in Warwick, NY. There’s something about low ceilings that make a home feel so enveloping and warm. This is a bit more traditional than the last but the architecture definitely calls for that. Love the quirky touches like a high gloss red library and lots of elements of the outdoors inside which also seems appropriate given the setting. Photos: Haris Kenjar. Styling: Mieke ten Have.
One of my all-time favourite designers Heidi Caillier bringing some whimsy and vintage vibes into this Brooklyn apartment. With some gorgeous colours and patterns throughout as she is known for, this space has become unique but timeless and 100% livable. Photos: Haris Kenjar.
Studio Borges reimagined an 1854 Gothic Revival residence blending the client’s whimsical style with beloved family heirlooms. The renovation infused colour, personality and charm into every corner, creating a vibrant home that perfectly reflects the young family’s interests. The design seamlessly combines modern custom furnishings, lighting and art with antique elements including new library built-ins for an extensive literary collection.
