A former B&B becomes a family retreat

Posted on Fri, 11 Aug 2023 by KiM

Katie’s team was tasked with decorating this layered home, previously a charming bed and breakfast nestled in the West Seattle neighborhood overlooking the serene Puget Sound. Working alongside the homeowner, photographer Deb Achak, color, texture, and pattern come together to highlight and expand on the home’s existing architectural details and historical nods.
I had to share another project by designer Katie LeClercq. Her effortlessly casual and comfortable style whilst embracing original details is 150% blog worthy. Photography: Aaron Leitz

British vibes using colour and pattern

Posted on Thu, 3 Aug 2023 by KiM

London-based designer Isabella Worsley takes a fresh and characterful approach to design. Her use of colour and pattern, in both furniture and on the walls lends itself to a more youthful and vibrant approach to design with a British flair. This isn’t stuffy nor is it granny-approved, and it sure is family-friendly.

This rustic and utterly fabulous home is that of another designer over at HÁM Interiors, founder Tom Cox. Tongue and cheek rustic cottage, yet this design firm always manages to pull off some level of “really cool”.
Our founder Tom Cox fulfilled a long-time dream of owning a secluded farmhouse in Devon. He’s filled it with art, antiques, and furniture that reflect the Cox family’s design aesthetic and his love of nature. The farmhouse, cottage, and outdoor kitchen provide a cosy, inviting space for Tom, his family, and friends to escape and relax in comfort.

Embracing the imperfect

Posted on Mon, 10 Jul 2023 by KiM

Essex, London based designer Fiona Duke believes great interior design really can the way you feel and ultimately make you happier. Using a mix of modern and vintage styles to create an eclectic yet elegant relaxed ‘effortless’ aesthetic. we believe that designing with a mic of styles creates a far more authentic way of living and helps to embrace the beauty of the ‘imperfect” into every design.
The lively colours and casual vibe, personality and overall cheerfulness of these spaces designed by Fiona are giving me all the feels.

Up there with my love of converted churches is my love of converted barns. I might even love barns more because of the rustic, casual nature of their structures. “The Grateful Farm” in the Hudson Valley was built in the 1920s and purchased days before the pandemic as a weekend retreat but it sounds like the owners moved in and never left. How could you leave this picturesque scene and all that open space?! Lori Paranjape created an ideal hangout/sleepover/casual home that I know I could never leave, and you probably have to drag your guests out kicking and screaming. Photos: Andy Ryan
