A charming historic cottage in Los Angeles

Posted on Mon, 19 Aug 2024 by KiM

We livened up this charming historic cottage with lots of custom furnishings combined with pattern and color, making this one of our sweetest projects yet!
Jaime Zehner of Newport Beach, CA based JZ Interiors is 100% right about this home being the sweetest! The bedrooms are soooo pretty.

This cozy layered home speaks of joy, depth, and a journey beginning. Beautiful archways and vintage furnishings give the abode endless charm. A compilation of vintage, earthiness, and fine finishes. At last, the charming home finally lives up to its striking environment.
I loooooooooove this 1920s Craftsman bungalow in the Virginia Highlands neighborhood of Atlanta Georgia. It has EVERYTHING – vintage vibes, stripes, florals, light and dark, colour and neutrals. Something for everyone! By Avery Cox Design. Photos: Lawren Williams.

London based colour consultant Fiona de Lys believes that light and colour are inseparable. Colour is an immersive and sensory experience that is a combination of light, place and purpose — creating mood, atmosphere and feeling. The experience of a space can be dramatically improved by supporting the natural movement of light within it, so introducing colour that naturally enhances light gives an aesthetic that flows comfortably from one room to another. Eastern traditions, the precepts of wabi sabi, shadow and light, and Kinsugi, deepen my approach to aesthetics and atmosphere.
Immersing yourself in the complex narrative of colour as a career must be soooo rewarding. And so much fun.

(Google Translate) In Hälsingland, where the Ljusnan river winds its way through the landscape, lies this fantastic property – an old trading house from 1886 in central Arbrå. Completely renovated in collaboration with a conservator with, among other things, hand-printed tapestries throughout the house, cardboard stretched ceilings, of which the hall has a beautiful ceiling painting. The wallpapers are reprints of models from the early years of the house, mostly found in the lowest layers of wallpaper. Between 1890 and 1980, the area’s well-known shoe store was located on the ground floor and it is still the same with a grocery counter and safe. 
Taking a quick break from château hunting to bring you this wonderful historic home in Sweden. It is a stunner inside and out and I looooooove that the owners tried to keep it as original as possible when they renovated after a fire in 2017. All of those wallpapers…..it really brings this home to life. For sale via Historiska Hem.

Occupying a prominent corner plot in Saratoga Springs, Upstate New York, this handsome Victorian villa operated as a six-bedroom bed and breakfast when our clients took it on. Our brief was to transform a series of bland, lifeless rooms into a holiday home for a young family with a passion for horse racing and entertaining. Guided by the client’s admiration for British contemporary craft and bold, richly layered interiors, we have focussed on creating a series of impactful rooms that delight the eye and encourage conversation and conviviality.
As I admire each of the rooms in this home, it must feel like living in a meadow of wildflowers. This is soooooo pretty! Designed by Sarah Brown.
