A Garde Hvalsøe bespoke oak kitchen in collaboration with Dinesen. Sigh.

It has been a little while since I featured San Francisco interior design firm Studio Revolution so I thought I would share a bit more of Jemy and Emily’s work. Since I am never really going to be over the reclaimed wood trend, I am a big fan of this project. Potrero Hill Bohème has some really beautiful reclaimed wood wall features (YES to chevron pattern!…maybe they’re walllpaper?), and the subtle southwestern theme works really well here. (P.S. I you would like to contribute to an upcoming pets on furniture feature, please send photos to kim[at]desiretoinspire[dot]net)

Georgian facade vs modernist interior. That’s how the real estate agent describes this Woollahra, Sydney home. “An Iain Halliday creation, this house has a dramatic mix of timber and glass behind its heritage facade. Floating above a moat in a walled courtyard, it’s your ‘castle’ of modernist design.” Yada, yada, yada. Let’s just say “yum”. Link here while it lasts.

Only 4 meters wide this holiday house in the small town of Oberaudorf in Bavaria, Germany packs a lot of punch in its small footprint. Cantilevered balconies on either side allow for indoor/outdoor living while a series of levels rise through the 2 storey interior.

Perhaps I would be more tolerant of our horrendous winters here in Ottawa if I could “slum it” in a place like this. This chalet in Switzerland is epic. It has everything you could need – including indoor pool, movie room and spa. I would be begging for a snow day so I could have an excuse not to leave. Designed by British firm Louise Jones Interiors.
