This 5 story townhouse in the West Village has such cool features – exposed brick, wide plank wood floors, exposed beams, a massive 2 story set of windows at the back, skylights…. paired with some iconic vintage furnishings and African artwork it’s a really unique, and loungey sanctuary for this family.

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.

If you ever had a doubt as to whether or not your home needed more arched doorways, entryways or windows, this home designed by House Nine (based in London) is here to tell you that YES, YES YOUR HOME NEEDS MORE ARCHES. When you enter my foyer from the vestibule there is a set of arched stained glass doors leading to the dining room on the left and an arched doorway on the right leading into the living room. The effect is beautiful and so much softer an appealing to the eye than hard edges.

Layers of finishes breathe fresh life into this turn-of-the century Minneapolis Victorian. Folding in earth based elements like plaster, marble countertops and natural wood create a new beginning for the historical architecture. To accommodate a growing family, we relocated the kitchen and dining room to create spaces made for hosting.
This post is all about the details. In every photo. The carved wood detail of the newel post, the fireplace tile surround, the dining room paneling, the original stained glass windows, the placement and detail of the marble in the kitchen, the tiled arch in the bathroom….

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….
