A white canvas as backdrop to a masterful interior by Madrid based designer Luis Gracia Fraile. His tools? Splashes of vibrant colours, emphatic forms and a mixture of the contemporary and the antique.

A 19th century riverfront cottage

Posted on Wed, 5 Apr 2023 by KiM

This 19th century riverfront cottage is filled with antiques and vintage finds but has a casual and livable feel that makes it all the more loveable. And judging by the photos it seems to be easy to switch things up and repurpose rooms which is always a fun undertaking and keeps things fresh. Design consultancy by Susan Burns.


Spotted Gum

Posted on Tue, 4 Apr 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Spotted Gum House is an alteration and addition to an existing interwar bungalow nestled amongst the mature, leafy green trees of Sydney’s North Shore neighbourhood of Artarmon. While respecting the suburban landscape and heritage conservation area we have restored the street-facing façade while exploring a hidden, modern sculptural annexe at the rear.

The three-bedroom home has been transformed into a blend of traditional and contemporary architecture. The design vernacular is courageous in its exploration of scale; Spotted Gum House now explores a tension between three distinct architectural languages; the existing front of the home, and the upstairs and downstairs of the new rear extension.”

Sensuous, sinuous and downright sexy. Spotted Gum by Alexander and Co.

A new build waterside escape in Louisiana

Posted on Thu, 16 Mar 2023 by KiM

This new build was designed as a waterside escape for its owners and a place for them to gather with their family and friends. Working with Watters Architecture to create an intimately-scaled home that could flex from being used by two as a cozy retreat to housing large groups, we turned to a classic center hall design with a primary suite wing and multiple bunk rooms on the upper level. A dreamy oak clad office space, acting as a bridge between the main house and primary wing, doubles as a private sitting room for the owners when the house is full of guests. This Louisiana camp required a dose of vernacular design, but an upbringing familiar with East Coast summer homes inspired shiplap walls, nautical touches, and a dose of nostalgia. Our clients’ sophisticated and well traveled taste brought in a layer of Mediterranean elements and African decor, creating a relaxing, cool, and down right fun place to play on the water or kick up your feet.
Cottage living at its finest! And the kitchen is as cute as can be. Another wonderful project by the talented Logan Killen Interiors. (Architect: Watters Architecture; Contractor: JB Design Build; Photographer: Jacqueline Marque)


A renovated 1860’s cottage in New Orleans

Posted on Tue, 14 Mar 2023 by KiM

The loving renovation of this 1860’s cottage in the Bayou St. John neighborhood of New Orleans consisted of an addition to the rear of the house for a new primary suite and mudroom as well as the full renovation of the existing baths, laundry room, and main living areas. Designing a home that felt untouched by time but functions well for a modern family resulted in a respite full of dreamy and relaxed spaces meant to support and inspire the creatives that live there. A soft and layered color palette, vintage inspired baths, painted wood floors, and a downright cheerful personality makes this sweet home perfectly charming, leaving us lost in reverie.
I am smitten with this vintage vibin’ home. Charming it absolutely is. The gingham in the living room paired with stripes and florals is soooo pretty. And the curtains in the bathroom partitioning that stunning tiled bath/shower area – the drama! Designed by Logan Killen Interiors.
