Nothing tugs at my heart strings more than a home that looks lived in, that has maintained original architectural details worthy of another 100 years of adoration. This 1920’s hacienda-style house in Pasadena, California is home to designer Todd Nickey of Nickey Kehoe (and once was the home of his husband’s grandparents). It is filled with character and whimsy and has such a cozy, welcoming quality. I could not love this more.

Contrasting styles and eras is what I live for. That tension and unexpectedness is so very welcome in a see of trends and lack of imagination I find so prevalent these days. Ryan Lawson created magic with a combination of traditional Sag Harbour architecture and his clients’ appreciation for contemporary art and vintage furniture. That juxtaposition is captivating. Also, his taste in lighting is unmatched. Photography: Chris Mottalini; Stying: Colin King.

This beautiful newly built home in Midway, Utah was designed by W Design Collective and their clients called it vintage quirky. I’d lean more towards modern farmhouse vintage with a bit of an upscale, European angle. Whatever you call it, I enjoy the casual energy and brightness.

Timeless design combines comfort, convenience and elegance in historic Hudson. Our This Old Hudson Maison is a fully furnished vacation rental available for short term and seasonal stays. Book this unique French inspired space via Airbnb. Designed by the bespoke creative firm Zio and Sons. This home could not be more beautiful. I love seeing designers embrace the history of a home. For example, discovering that antique wallpaper in the living room and leaving it as a focal point, whilst filling in bits with venetian plaster. Gorgeous!!!

I’m really digging the vintage vibes in this Hampstead apartment designed by Lonika Chande, but CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE YELLOW KITCHEN! WOW! That shade of yellow could not be more perfect. This is one to stash in the inspiration folder immediately! A former Artist’s studio, this dated first floor apartment was reconfigured to create a unique London pied-à-terre. An artist herself, the client already owned some pieces that she was keen to incorporate, and these formed the basis of the schemes.  Focusing on a warm, earthy palette created the perfect backdrop for the existing artworks, sourced antiques and furnishings. (And check out this project by Lonika Jo featured last year)
