Displaying posts labeled "Vintage"

Bringing in patterns with textiles and wallpaper is always going to win over my heart. Like this home designed by Caitlin Flemming. I’d swap out all the white for something a little warmer but otherwise this home in Petaluma, California is a home run. Cozy and vintage-vibes that are classic and will endure the test of time.

Designer Charlotte Barnes‘ Connecticut carriage house is absolutely adorable on the outside and a treasure trove of vintage and antiques on the inside. Each piece is so unique and very much an eclectic blend of styles in each space, which I adore. The family room is my favourite. The paisley wallpaper is a wonderful layer and backdrop to the English, Swedish and other random pieces that make the space so inviting. Photos: Francesco Lagnese.

I’m back with another Inigo beauty, again no castle this week because I spent the entire day yesterday shopping for plants, planting the plants and panicking about all things I need to do for an upcoming photoshoot of my house for a blog that is older (and way more “big time”) than this one. Eeeeeekkkkkkk!!!!
This elegant, wisteria-covered mid-16th century house sits in the centre of the pretty town of Colyton, close to south Devon’s beautiful coastline. Unfolding over 4,000 sq ft and surrounded by walled gardens, the Grade II*-listed Elizabethan house has been restored and decorated by the current owners (interiors writer Ros Byam Shaw). Unique original features have been preserved, such as oak panelling dating to c.1600, leaded windows, and flagstone floors. Contemporary interventions are timeless, including Colefax and Fowler wallpaper, and various Farrow and Ball colours. Its garden is complete with a swimming pool, a summer house, a small orchard stocked with mulberry, cherries and apples, and raised vegetable patches. A quiet and private oasis, the garden has views across the town, over hills and mature trees, and feels remarkably rural given its central location.

The Treehouse is filled with character and feels so welcoming. It is a bit coastal, and bit Scandi, a bit cottagecore, a bit granny chic, with a big dose of vintage (especially the bedrooms – love them!). I adore this home designed by Portland, Maine-based Heidi Lachapelle Interiors.

I spotted this feature on Cabana Magazine’s website and it speaks to me on so many levels so I had to share. North Runcton Lodge located in Norfolk, England was dilapidated when Kate Giles and her husband Tim Ellis bought it in 2017. It took two years of stripping out sodden carpets and wallpaper, rewiring, re-plumbing to get it to its current state, and no structural changes were made with the exception of the kitchen. Leaving old paint and wallpaper fragments, they filled it with finds from auctions, fairs, and antique shops, and then layered in tapestries, ancient linens, French quilts and so many beautiful paintings of Kate’s. Such a stunning home (and I’m dying over the kitchen’s tile floor). Photos: Mark Luscombe-Whyte
