Not a Motel

Posted on Wed, 28 Aug 2024 by midcenturyjo

This four-bedroom holiday home in Point Leo, Victoria blends Aussie beach shack vibes with Palm Springs motel style. The mid-century design features vibrant finishes, a reception-inspired kitchen, sunken lounge, and pool room. A long hallway, echoing a motel gangway, connects colour-blocked bedrooms with views of a central courtyard and pool. Brickwork, wooden shutters, and extensive glazing optimize natural light and passive heating for each bedroom. Not a Motel by Pleysier Perkins.

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.

Working on a Saturday

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 renovated kitchen with a Parisian pub vibe

Posted on Fri, 12 Jul 2024 by KiM

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.
