I typically feature grand homes on Sundays but I ended up on Historiska Hem and found this absolutely charming Villa Björkdalen for sale in Rönninge, Sweden. A former small private school and a vicar’s residence, this adorable home retains much of its original character both interior and exterior but has been modernized for today’s lifestyle. Which in my opinion makes it PERFECT. How much would I love a yellow cottage? SO VERY MUCH.

Warsaw-based Colombe Studio never ceases to amaze me with their creativity and attention to detail. This kitchen may not be huge or have lots of storage but it’s a work of art and absolutely beautiful. This apartment is giving me somewhat museum vibes but in the best way as it is still inviting but every item and every detail makes such a statement. Photos: Kasia Gatkowska

Joyful and fabulous. Layers of colour and pattern , wallpaper and fabric. When family living is stylish AND fun it’s got to be by design duo of Damian Zunino and Britt Zunino of Studio DB.

A Georgian house in Westminster

Posted on Fri, 22 Sep 2023 by KiM

A stone’s throw from the Houses of Parliament, on one of the finest early Georgian streets in London, is this beautiful pair of houses that in 1906 had been combined to form a single dwelling. We remodelled the whole house, moving the kitchen and bathrooms, restoring the staircase, putting back panelling, replacing walls that had been taken down. The interiors are intentionally simple, drawing on the original early 18th century character of the rooms, but with a playful sense of pattern, and a palimpsest of history, running through its veins.  We used extensive fabrics and papers from Watts of Westminster, Morris & Co and Robert Kime in developing a palette of soft, calm greys, taupes and greens, with splashes of burned red, yellow and Prussian blue throughout. The garden was completely remodelled by Pip Morrison and we designed a metal glasshouse at the corner of the garden which catches the rays of the evening sun.
Another timeless beauty designed by Ben Pentreath, where I could move right in as it is with simply my clothes, the husband and cats.

A spruced up 19th-century cottage in Utah

Posted on Tue, 12 Sep 2023 by KiM

This lovingly restored cottage built by Scandinavian pioneers in the mid-19th-century is located in Spring City, Utah and was spruced up and now oozes with charm thanks to designer Meta Coleman. Bold textiles like the Josef Frank covered sofa, pretty wall colours and wallpaper (also Josef Frank) make this such a welcoming cottage.
