Now THIS is how you treat a Craftsman style home right. You DO NOT paint over the millwork. You DO NOT get rid of pocket doors. You DO NOT remove original windows. Designer Jamie Haller maintained all the history and charm in this home (bless her) and enhanced it with bold patterned wallpaper, a bit of colour (that’s Calke Green by Farrow & Ball in the dining room) and some pretty light fixtures. A big round of applause from a fellow Craftsman homeowner. Photos: Jenna Peffley.

This resurrected Victorian farmhouse turned weekend cottage is absolute perfection. The wooden slatted ceilings, simple wood trim, brick fireplaces, the happiest of bright yellow walls, the prettiest wallpapers (in particular ‘Blackthorn Autumn’ by Morris & Co. in the stairs/upstairs hallway), a simple neutral wood kitchen, the coziest bedrooms all make for the perfect family getaway.

Built in 1915 and renovated again and again until it was purchased in 2022, deconstructed and renewed by Christina Simon Studio.  The client works in the music industry as well as other industries pertaining to wellness, neurobiology and expanding consciousness.  This property serves as the client’s pied a terre for hosting several industry parties during SXSW and ACL and the design of the home was to reflect and contribute to the fun and ambiance of these events.
I think this meets the 4 word brief of “Austin eclectic hippie vibe”. It’s a dark and moody gentleman’s hangout with a retro, groovy vibe. I really dig this. Photos: Douglas Friedman.

As soon as I started scrolling through the listing for Selwood Lodge – an exceptional Grade II-listed house that marries Gothic revival architecture with European villa-style romance on Inigo I instantly recognized the infamous deVOL kitchen of Pearl Lowe. This entire house is eclectic vintage maximalism wizardry and I love every bit of it. It’s like a big hug from the sweetest (and most stylish) granny.

Plantasia designed by YSG is a playful, make-believe hideaway tucked into verdant hills on the New South Wales South Coast. It’s like stepping into a “choose your own adventure” book, where each room reveals quirky surprises from a treasure-filled dining nook to frilly lampshades and fancy carved wood. With bold colours and oversized details it’s a fun twist on old-school charm. And the sherbet-yellow Rockwell bathtub under a fruity canopy? Pure joy … like soaking in sunshine with a citrusy wink.
