Fun with colour and pattern in Miami

Posted on Tue, 14 Jan 2025 by KiM

This five-bedroom 1960s ranch-style house in Miami underwent a huge transformation, turning it into a wonderfully bright and whimsical home with the help of many Josef Frank fabrics and colours pulled from them. Such vibrant and fun energy exuded from every room. Designed by Bunsa Studio. Photos: Nicole Franzen.

A stone farmhouse in the English countryside

Posted on Wed, 8 Jan 2025 by KiM

Blank Slate was appointed to oversee the modernization and complete refurbishment of a quintessential, stone farmhouse set in the English countryside. Bari and her team sympathetically stripped the property back, preserving the original structure, and everything they added matched the house’s history and unique character. Material selection was crucial for this project—sourcing new oak beams to match the original ones, and adding open joists throughout the new extension to make the new build feel less new. They installed character-grade oak floors in creamy tones of shale, limed and smoked, cobbles for the boot room and utility, and limestone checkerboard tiles in the entry hall to give it a reclaimed and found feel. Blank Slate moved the entrance to the center, creating perfect symmetry and a large open reception area with a bespoke staircase featuring large curved steps at the base. Bari added rich marble to each of the bathrooms, creating feature showers in both the family bathroom and the en-suite. As a result, the Wiltshire Farmhouse project is a calm haven with a neutral palette of earthy tones and layered textures, embodying the Blank Slate approach perfectly.
Quite literally my dream home. This is perfect in every way. I’d just add a smidge more colour and pattern and happily live here for the rest of my days. (I’m going to be dreaming about that limestone checkerboard entry for the rest of my days)

A colourful 1908 Craftsman in California

Posted on Mon, 6 Jan 2025 by KiM

We started imagining what this 1908 Craftsman could be at the exact instant Greta Gerwig’s Little Women came out in theaters, and while discussing how both the client and Chloe enjoyed it very much, our client said the words “I want my house to be like that, but on acid”, and we were off to the races. No pattern was off limits, no color too much. A Moorish guest bath? Yes, we decided March sisters would approve. An enormous custom painted Falcon screen? It’s our client’s spirit animal and of course that makes sense.
I absolutely adore the colours and vibrancy in this home. Such wonderful energy in each space. By Redmond Aldrich Design. Photos by Laure Joliet.
