The renovation of this 1905 Dutch Colonial Revival in the historic Cleveland Park neighborhood of  Washington, DC saw it go from tired and boring to a light-filled modern home with colourful art and a definite mid-mod style. If this lovely home was mine I know I’d walk through the door after a hard day at work and my spirit would just lift. Perfect. By Anne Decker Architects.

Simplicity

Posted on Fri, 22 Dec 2017 by midcenturyjo

“There is nothing simple about simplicity. Simplicity is complexity.”

The composition, the texture, the monochromatic palette, the considered choice of pattern, the restraint and careful curation. How deceptively simple and achingly beautiful. Buckhead by Atlanta-based Nancy Braithwaite Interiors.

A wonderful marriage of Scandi and Moroccan, ranch and rock and roll. Think neutrals mixed with white where black is a highlight, simple and tactile and organic and fun. Welcome to bleached beauty that is Woodbrook by Lisa Sherry Interieurs.

New from Jessica Helgerson

Don’t we all dream about it? A light filled Scandinavian getaway in a summer time holiday hamlet? Perhaps in the Hamptons? For Jessica Helgerson‘s clients it isn’t a dream. Pale wood, white painted wood, handmade white tile, marble and brass. The perfect palette. It may be a departure from what we have come to expect from interior designer Helgerson but it’s simple, light filled beauty is so inspiring.

Blue and white in South Africa

Posted on Thu, 14 Dec 2017 by midcenturyjo

Layer upon layer, blue on white. A home for relaxing, for entertaining family and friends. Expansive ocean views and expansive hospitality. Natural elements are celebrated yet subtle and a fresh look comes with a change out of accent colours. Imagine earthy tones or shades of green.
