Blending old and new will forever be a favourite of mine. That tension is so intriguing, and Fern Santini did just that in this Austin home – complete with huge modern addition. The dining features a vintage zinc top table and very modern chairs, the kitchen island displays vintage lab beakers on original stands, a vintage leather sofa takes pride of place in the study, the guest suite and laundry/office/sewing room maintains their original shiplap ceilings…. it’s such a wonderful mix of past and present.

Opulent, elegant, sophisticated and refined. Not to everyone’s taste but there’s an other-worldy quality to Alidad‘s spaces that provide an escape to the everyday.

How much fun would it be to have a retreat like this to escape to in the summer months? Or winter for that matter. I love the mix of contemporary and rustic cabin of the interior and each space is whimsical and lounge-y. Located on Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire and designed by Kate Maloney.

There is nothing pretentious or precious in this gorgeous heritage home in Wellesley, Massachusetts designed by Katie Rosenfeld. It is vibrant and youthful with a hint of elegance. I love this home so much but I can’t quite decide which I love more – the dining room or the kitchen. (Photos: Read McKendree)
