I could not love Spanish houses more. Give me all the handmade terracotta tiles, the curves joining the walls with the ceiling, the arched doorways & windows (and lots of large windows), fireplaces…..all creates such a warmth and homey feeling. A wonderful sense of calm. Designed by Martha Mulholland. Photos: Shade Degges.

I’m just going to leave this here, so you can dream about having the most epic kitchen and boot/flower room like these designed by Barlow & Barlow. Sooo much space, that curved window makes it the prettiest place to wash dishes, a fabulous island to congregate around, and OH MY the plants and flowers I would be arranging and growing in that boot & flower room with all that shelving….

This 1800s Grand Victorian mansion in Mosman, Sydney, once divided into three disordered apartments, has been lovingly restored into a family home while honouring its historic grandeur. Inspired by traditional North American coastal architecture, the design reflects the clients’ admiration for this timeless style. The interiors were revitalized with textural mouldings, wainscoting, and luxurious finishes while preserving original features like leadlight windows and stone fireplaces. A casual side entrance leads to a functional mudroom and laundry, while the reimagined foyer impresses guests. The open-plan ground floor includes a sunlit kitchen with Shaker-style joinery, a spacious dining area, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections for hosting unforgettable gatherings.

Designer Leanne Ford and her designer friend Grace Mitchell bought a home in Round Top, Texas. It is rustic and filled with vintage goodness (love that Aga stove!) …and the same vintage wall light used about 18 times, which as it turns out is one of my pet peeves of Leanne’s projects. It seems repetition in excess drives me batty. Anyhoo it’s a really pretty home, and I do love that light fixture (x18). You can book a stay here. Photos: Sarah Barlow.

Camp, but make it not-campy. Camp Coeur d’Alene is a stunning property in Gozzer Ranch, Idaho that looks like a series of barns but are far from it when you step inside. Contemporary design by Morrison Interiors that has elements of nature and the outdoors and is warm and bright and made for chilling out in any season.
