Intoxicating and serene, the ’70s Rêve is a glam rock riff on the sultry vibes and breezy bliss of bohemian life. Restored and reconceived, this lush estate in Ross, California, exudes a balmy calm with a sexy swagger. Earthy and sumptuous, playfully plush, it teems with the effervescent cool of a YSL muse—both ageless and of the moment. A 70’s dream this is!

I had to share another project by Hampshire-based Johnston Parke Interiors – this time a wonderful, serene country house. This 6 bedroom project was a total renovation for the family who bought it and involved a new stair case and vaulted hall ceiling, linking to a cottage which contains a library, cinema and office and making sense of a warren of small dark rooms at the back of the house which we turned into a spacious utility, hallway, boot room and wine store. The clients wanted to start from scratch so other than a few antiques and some art everything was new so we sourced lots of antiques and interesting fabrics to add warmth and ensure it felt like a home from day one.

This Chiswick, London Victorian townhouse was renovated and then sold by Chris Graves of Clarence & Graves. I had to share for 2 reasons: it has a DeVol kitchen and glorious green crittall windows/doors. Among other fabulous things like how many of the original details were maintained during the renovation. I love the light, airiness and playfulness of this home.

I’ve dreamt about living in a castle in France or Italy but it appears I need to add Ireland to my list. This home was built in 1870, has 5 bedrooms, is  5,543 sq.ft. and is listed through Christie’s at just over 10M USD. St George’s is a most impressive towered and gabled red-brick Gothic-Revival house. It was built in the late 1870’s designed by George Coppinger Ashlin, one of the leading Irish architects of the 19th century. The description includes things like brass armatures, encaustic ceramic tiled floor, glazed lead panelled glass, chamfered Tudor archway, pink polished marble columns, open timber balustrade, corner turret, conservatory, butler’s pantry, oratory…

This is everything a cabin getaway should be. So cozy and relaxing! SETTLE is home to three beautifully restored vintage railway carriages, a handcrafted lakeside cabin and luxury canvas camping, blissfully set in our private Norfolk parkland. The Cabin. Perfect for slow living, our bespoke lakeside cabin is a truly luxurious stay… This handcrafted space was meticulously designed and built by us, combining settle’s signature palette of earthy textures and heritage materials with sleek contemporary fittings and clean lines. Flanked by mature trees and an abundance of native wildlife, this dreamy cabin overlooks the largest of our idyllic waterlily lakes. Heritage timber – one of our most prized materials – clads all the cabin’s interior spaces, its authentic textures bringing the outside ever closer. Mid-century furnishings blend with Scandinavian influences to create a calm, restorative ambiance. For colder days, a large, contemporary wood-burning stove, along with salvaged cast iron radiators throughout the cabin, ensure toasty warmth.
