Woollahra Terrace by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects blends original character with contemporary family living. Transforming the original dark residence, the vibrant and fresh design emphasises existing period details within a modern context. Arched doors connect the new living space, echoing the original brick doorway motif. A sunlit kitchen, framed by steel windows, centres the layout. Monochrome interiors are offset by greenery-framed views while the austere concrete and white exteriors contrast with a lush, intentionally flowerless garden.

Sometimes a home just needs a simple, relaxed and minimal take on its interior. After hours of searching for content for this blog when I come across something like this, it is so refreshing and calming. A colonial home in Westchester, NY by Studio Dorion.












Subtle sophistication. A home rich in texture while restrained in palette. Think warm wood and natural materials, white walls and light-filled rooms. Easy, stylish living. This East Hamptons retreat is the holiday bolt-hole of interior designer Julie Hillman where she blends classic and contemporary. A welcoming, warm oasis full of antique finds, contemporary art and personal pieces.










What a wonderful kitchen this is!!! So bright with all the white, then add in that whole back section clad in wood and it takes this space to a whole other level of awesome. The warmth the wood adds really makes it feel cozy and lived in. The perfect family kitchen. Designed by April Tomlin Interiors. Photos: Paige Rumore.













Sharing another unexpected interior by Studio Gusto – this time for a home in Washington, D.C.. What a lovely surprise this would be walking through the front door. Also I am having a serious dose of library envy. A must-have in the next house! Photos: Stacy Zarin Goldberg.
