A captivating mix of historic charm and contemporary family living. The owners approached us after buying the property as their forever family home. We worked closely with Ailtire Architects and Wraxall, a Bath based building firm renown for their work on historic houses; undoing modern insertions and restoring original features more in keeping with the heritage of the 1840’s Grade II listed former Vicarage. We didn’t want it to feel overly done, nor impose a have stamp, rather gently re-work spaces with contemporary family life in mind, whilst respecting the original fabric of the building.
This home is oozing charm from every corner. I absolutely love this and as a forever home, I can imagine forever loving living here and never ever wanting to leave. Designed by Anna Haines. Photos: Paul Whitbread. (Check out more photos here)

Quintessentially English as we like to say. This home is filled with the prettiest colours in each room and patterned headboards and curtains in the bedrooms are a must. And the only way to go is to follow suit in the bathrooms too. Designed by Olivine Design. Photos: Milo Brown.

Designer Jean Ross of Row Design Studio gut renovated this 1916 Toronto dwelling with help of her husband. What was once a dark and gloomy outdated home became a bright and charming, vintage filled space with some cool original character and some great DIY projects. Photos: Kiely Ramos.

I’ll always have a place in my heart for mid-century homes – all that wood and windows and sloped ceilings. This gem in Los Gatos, California is fabulously retro and so very cool thanks to designer Cathie Hong who created this welcoming home for herself and her family (including 4 children). I particularly love the music/guest room/playroom and that fabulous built-in storage cabinet in the most glorious olive green (Farrow & Ball’s Bancha). Photos: Margaret Austin
