Leanne Ford may have an obsession for white but even she can show restraint when renovating her own historical 120-year-old home in Pittsburgh. The wood paneled walls in the library are so moody and cozy and look SO much better stained than slathered in white paint. Such a beautiful home. Photos: Amy Neunsinger, Erin Kelly.

Leanne Ford – a die-hard fan of all things white. Something I am absolutely not but then when I see her projects I start to rethink my life’s choices. Her Church Lane project is one of those times where I think this is a really good approach especially if you have ‘a pig in need of lipstick’ type of renovation you need to do….just get 10 gallons of white paint, some marble remnants and some paper lanterns and you’re golden.

This Austin ranch designed by Light and Dwell is “mountain ranch” style and I am loving every inch of it. Stone walls and fireplaces (mostly painted white…..ugh but does lighten things up), exposed wood ceiling beams in almost every room, the warmed wood kitchen, lots of furry chairs I want to sink into, and everything bathed in soothing neutrals. Timeless and classic but make it a bit rustic but also a bit sophisticated. Photos: Harry Crowder.

Shape, texture, and materiality converge within the walls of this warm and inviting home that places artistry and comfort on a pedestal. 
Designed by Heidi Woodman Interiors, this home is so perfect in so many ways and has so much to offer that I think it would be a hit for the masses. The architecture has both modern and traditional elements, the colour palette is neutral and earthy with just the right amount of black accents, the furnishings all look like you could just sink into them and have a nap, there’s just a bit of pattern that is on the traditional side which is a pretty contrast to some of the modern art, textures that look incredibly cozy….

“Originally constructed in the 18th century, this five bedroom residence with guest house in Sag Harbor, NY, was updated for contemporary comfort with layers of luxurious neutrals. A carefully curated mix of vintage and custom-designed pieces make a relaxing weekend retreat for crowds large and small.”

Casual luxury. Beautifully fresh and light. I’d be happy with just the guest house! Sag Habor by Anna Karlin.
