A renovated 1860’s cottage in New Orleans

Posted on Tue, 14 Mar 2023 by KiM

The loving renovation of this 1860’s cottage in the Bayou St. John neighborhood of New Orleans consisted of an addition to the rear of the house for a new primary suite and mudroom as well as the full renovation of the existing baths, laundry room, and main living areas. Designing a home that felt untouched by time but functions well for a modern family resulted in a respite full of dreamy and relaxed spaces meant to support and inspire the creatives that live there. A soft and layered color palette, vintage inspired baths, painted wood floors, and a downright cheerful personality makes this sweet home perfectly charming, leaving us lost in reverie.
I am smitten with this vintage vibin’ home. Charming it absolutely is. The gingham in the living room paired with stripes and florals is soooo pretty. And the curtains in the bathroom partitioning that stunning tiled bath/shower area – the drama! Designed by Logan Killen Interiors.

Château de Digoine

Posted on Sun, 12 Mar 2023 by KiM


Château de Digoine, located in in southern Burgundy, France is an absolutely breath-taking 15 bedroom home from the 1700s owned by French filmmaker Jean-Louis Remilleux. Filled with exquisite antiques, art, textiles and wallpaper, it’s every traditionalist’s dream. And it’s definitely checking all the boxes for my dream château.

A beach house on Long Island Sound

Posted on Fri, 10 Mar 2023 by KiM


The proposed project, a classic North Eastern, shingle and clapboard “Big Chill” house set just about 50 feet from Long Island Sound had beautiful, rambling proportions and great flow. It had been roughly 20 years since they’d last renovated. It was time to refresh and reimagine life at home with classic New England comfort and style. We had 23 rooms in total to redo without interrupting the couple’s seasonal use of their summer retreat. This included light-to-full makeovers of six bathrooms, the complete redecoration of all main living spaces, six bedrooms, the total renovation of the kitchen, butler’s pantry and breakfast room, as well as all conduit spaces and a TV/Rec room with billiard table. 
TOM Interior Design Studio (made up of Tommy Smythe, Lindsay Mens Craig, Kate Stuart) created a wonderful blue and white vision of beachy wonderfulness in this home that exudes a classic/traditional vibe that keeps it from being too casual. It is also timeless and I imagine the owners will be quite happy with it another 20 years from now. (Photos: Virginia MacDonald)

Everyday elegance

Julie Dodson Webster of Houston-based Dodson Interiors blends Hollywood Glam with fresh French style, creating timeless and transitional spaces that pack a punch but are livable and functional. Like this home – neutral and cozy yet sophisticated and elegant. The architecture sure helps make this quite a beauty.

I am completely smitten with this apartment in Vienna designed by Atelier Karasinski. Particularly the kitchen outfitted with deVOL cabinets, with the most spectacular original ceiling and painted in the yummiest Negroni red”. Cooking in there would bring me so much joy! The rest of the apartment is eclectic and has such fabulous details – hellooooo marble and antiques and Gucci wallpaper and surprise cupboards. (Photos: Ana Barros for AD Germany)
