A handsome detached Cotswold stone town house in the centre of Stow on the Wold. A large open plan living area with French windows and bifold doors opening on to a stone terrace with small grassed area and pergola. Bespoke painted kitchen with large dark stained wood island & unique bar area. Separate snug, office and laundry with built in dog beds and bespoke cabinetry. 7 individually designed double en suite bedrooms including magical attic room featuring 4 painted beds built in to the eaves.
I adore every inch of this house. I’m especially fond of the kitchen – it has everything! Spacious, a combination of dark and light, a beautiful bar, 2 separate islands, built-in dog nook and fire (or is that a TV playing a fire video?) Available for hire via Shoot Factory.
I had to share another beautiful home designed by Brittany Bromley. This Bridgehampton stunner is filled with personality and lots of layers and textures with some help from grasscloth wallpapers. With accents of blue in each space it makes it very cohesive and flows really well. Love this! Photos: Annie Schlechter.
It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish like the offices of Studio AR & D Architects. Check out the double height pivoting window!

A modern kitchen comes to life in an ancestral home, blending the past with the present. Original elements are salvaged, cabinets undergo a colorful modernization. Glass illuminates the space, merging historic charm with a contemporary aesthetic in this kitchen imbued with history and modernity.
I absolutely adore this kitchen designed by Montréal-based FJORD intérieurs. The reeded glass cabinet, glass shelves and white marble keeps it light while the dark stained wood adds so much depth, warmth and character. This one is going straight into my inspiration folder.
The Becker Barn is an ongoing project on the Toandos Penninsula in the Hood Canal (Washington). The property was lost by the family in a drunken Poker game by Saul’s Grandfather “Babe” in the 70’s (Saul Becker of Mutuus). The opportunity presented itself in 2020 to purchase the property which was adjacent to the tiny cabin that Saul spent his childhood in. Mutuus partners Saul and Kristen spend most weekends with their children there slowly remodeling, dreaming, and testing their design ideas. They see it as an opportunity to prototype Mutuus Made lighting, try out ideas, dabble in landscape design, harvest oysters, spend time with their family, and entertain friends. The gambrel roofed structure has a commanding presence in the landscape that Saul has known since birth. The Becker’s are a restless bunch and this project keeps them in their happy place, constantly dreaming.
Give me all the rustic, barn-like cabins in the woods. The perfect weekend getaway to escape to.
