I’m dead. This home is absolutely incredible. Sooooo much space! I can’t even imagine. Set within 27 acres of grounds including two lakes and a wood. The property’s immaculate facade gives an indication of the extensive renovation works which have transformed the house from an almost derelict pile to the exceptional family home it is today. Arranged over three floors, this home is approx 8,000 sq ft in total and boasts six bedrooms all en-suite, a gym, three reception rooms, a large dining room and open plan kitchen and breakfast room. The impressive entrance hall has a large format checkerboard floor made from highly polished stone, and high ceilings with exposed oak beams. Available as a location home via Shoot Factory.

What a week! I need a break. Unfortunately I can’t escape the real world so it will have to be a virtual getaway. Today’s daydream is bought to you by Atelier du Pont whose transformation of this holiday house in Menorca, Spain ticks all my boxes. I can feel the stress melting away already.

Courtney Applebaum is an interior designer based in Los Angeles and I love her approach to design. Minimal, impactful, eclectic, elegant. A bit random – just how I like it.

The armoire in the photo below caught my attention. Must show this to handy husband. 🙂

As if my first post today didn’t have you scheming and dreaming of a way to move into a wonderful old farmhouse on Shelter Island then this post will tempt you even further. The renovation of this former fisherman’s cottage is also by SchappacherWhite Architects DPC. In fact it was the architects’ own home until they sold it (lucky new owners). The 1904 house underwent a sympathetic transformation creating a year round home just right for family and friends. The interiors feature natural materials and a neutral colour palette of whites and sands contrasted with black provides a perfect backdrop for a mix of modern, antique and found pieces.

It’s like I say time and time again. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it helps if it’s somewhere super stylish. (Bonus points for the Shogun Floor Lamp by Mario Botta.) 2T Thorel Office by A.R. Rivani.
