Tom Mark Henry collaborated with Laminex to explore its True to Nature: Next Generation Woodgrains. Using décors from the Australian Natives Collection, the family kitchen pairs subtle tonal shifts and refined detailing to create a warm, functional space designed for everyday family life, informed by the organic qualities of the Australian landscape.

Moon Canyon

Posted on Tue, 9 Dec 2025 by midcenturyjo

NoNo Studio, based in Los Angeles, Mexico City and New York, delivers architecture, interiors and product design with a playful, exploratory spirit. Their Moon Canyon project reimagines a 1930s hunting cabin in Mount Washington, restoring its shaky frame with a careful, steady approach. The renovation preserves the home’s eccentric character, highlighted by original pine and cedar panelling and a stained-glass insert created by a CalArts student in the 1970s.

This 400 m2 historic manor house in Pays D’Auge, Normandy was inherited by the current homeowner and was in disrepair. Architect Xavier d’Alençon restored as much of the original details as possible, and interior designer Santillane de Chanaleilles was enlisted to add some comfort and modernity to the home. She created gathering spaces for the generations of families who will use the home, brought in brick, terracotta, Burgundy stone, metal and glass and some contemporary furnishings that French designers gravitate towards. The result is a masterful blend of old and new. Photos: Frenchie Cristogatin.

This 220m2 apartment in Paris’ 16th arrondissement represents Paris design to a T. The meticulousness of the details to take advantage of every square inch and provide plenty of storage, the exquisite selection of furnishings, a wide range of materiality (that MUST include marble), and an overall air of sophistication and elegance that one expects from a Parisian dwelling.

A historic Connecticut home originally built in the 1830s along the Silvermine River, The Basket House was once a working basketmaker’s workshop. Moore House Design reimagined the residence for Brunch with Babs, blending heritage craftsmanship with modern livability across a comprehensive renovation and restoration.The project scope included a full kitchen and pantry redesign, new dining and living spaces, custom tilework, and handcrafted finishes throughout. Signature details — including woven latticework, hand-painted tiles, and bespoke plaster treatments — celebrate the home’s artisanal roots while creating a warm, inviting foundation for everyday life.
The decor here leans much more traditional than we’re used to seeing from MHD, and I am really loving how they leaned into it with lots of sage green and elements of nature. It includes the prettiest and most funtional European style kitchen, a moody great room, a former greenhouse turned dining room, lattice embellished breakfast nook… Photos: Jared Kuzia; Styling: Jennlilly Mckeon.
