This home (originally designed in the 1960s by legendary local architect, Alex Riley) sits above Tomales Bay in California’s Marin County. Transformed by Commune Design the focus is on colour, pattern and handcrafted details. Limewashed walls, refinished wood panelling and painted trim bring warmth and texture, while bold patterns and vibrant hues add personality to every room. Bespoke furnishings and artisan-crafted pieces, including an ornamental glass tile fireplace and custom light fixtures, have been integrated seamlessly into the design. The result is a harmonious blend of West Marin charm and Scandinavian-inspired vibrancy, with layers of character and thoughtful details throughout.

This 1869 Victorian home in Cambridge, Massachusetts is an absolute beauty inside and out brimming with original details that luckily the homeowners and Reath Design embraced. (The older I get and the more I hear about homes this beautiful being demolished or stripped of all their character, the more I appreciate people who aim to preserve the original). This is so whimsical and heartwarming, and even though I am not a fan of blue, the gorgeous muddy red of the dining room (Book Room Red by Farrow & Ball) and that sweet willow wallpaper are everything.

Located in Montreal’s Notre-Dame-de-Grâce district, this early 20th-century house was refurbished so that its owners could move in with their growing family. We rethought the space, retaining certain elements with which we were able to play. This house presents a convivial open space where the balance between light tones and dark accents brings an unpretentious elegance.
I love how timeless this project by Blanc Marine Intérieurs is. And so very warm. Much of it is light and the cream tones are gorgeous. Amen to having no jarring white ceilings. Photos: Annie Fafard.

I couldn’t only share one Ashley Montgomery project. This home in the Copping Forest ‘hood in Goodwood, Ontario is yet another example that Ashley can do no wrong. I also think she is the absolute QUEEN of kitchen design. The taupe/clay colour is perfection. I’m forever smitten. Photos: Lauren Miller.

A midcentury home gets a makeover and transforms into an eclectic, sophisticated yet not too serious hangout for a family. Patterns aplenty which has me reallyyyyyy loving the design approach of this “Doña Dolores” project by Jaqui Seerman. Photos: Madeline Tolle.
