Style in Paris

Posted on Tue, 1 Feb 2022 by KiM

There’s something about Paris style, that you can’t quite put it into words but when you see it YOU KNOW. Alix Thomsen is a Paris designer and though this sample from her portfolio is a broad mic of styles YOU JUST KNOW. Also, Paris architecture rules all.

An Oxford country house

Posted on Wed, 26 Jan 2022 by KiM

This Oxford home is what country living dreams are made of. An absolute beauty inside and out. Much of the furnishings are quite traditional but if you look a little closer you will spot details that are a bit more current, which makes me love this even more. Designed by VSP Interiors.

A remodeled Iowa City home

Posted on Mon, 24 Jan 2022 by KiM

I am such a huge fan of Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, as you may have come to realize over the years. Her team’s ability to take homes with history, filled with original details, and sympathetically remodel them to make them functional for today’s lifestyle is always impeccable and so perfectly executed. This home in Iowa City takes you back in time yet is contemporary and vivacious. I could not love this more. (Lead designer: Chelsie Lee; Architect: CWB Architects; Photos: Christopher Sturman)

A charming holiday cottage

Posted on Thu, 20 Jan 2022 by KiM

Now this is a cottage vibe I can get behind! Whimsical, a bit country but with some more modern touches, super casual and relaxed where no one cares if you forgot to take your shoes off. Bridlepath Berkshire holiday cottage designed by Turner Pocock.

Hunting Box Sherston

I am in love with this home designed by Caroline Holdaway. Traditional with colour and pattern makes it so warm and inviting. (Photos: Simon Brown)

This property originally formed part of a 16thC coaching inn. It is a flat fronted stone village house with cross mullion windows on the edge of the Cotswolds. The sole purpose of this gloriously neat and perfectly proportioned house was to stand as a hunting box for my clients. We removed a dividing wall downstairs opening up an airy space for socializing yet retaining it’s cosy appeal for intimate fireside evenings. Reclaimed timber floors and show stopping Raku fired floor tiles give charm in bucket loads to the kitchen and breakfast room. We purchased some perfectly figured reclaimed elm from which we crafted the kitchen and found some papier mache refracted glass cinema lights that illuminate the kitchen work surfaces. Carefully sourced antiques and client art work made this property a delight to work on.
