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. Greyleigh Gables, a wedding events space in rural New South Wales by Duet.

Some people may be “over” the rustic barn/cabin vibe but when it is an actual, authentic barn and cabin I will never be over it. In this case it is the sympathetic renovation of a horse barn and pondside fishing cabin on a 200-acre estate in Sharon, Connecticut by designer Virginia Tupker. This is sooooo warm and inviting and “leave your shoes on” and “I hope the dog’s paws aren’t muddy but if they are we can just laugh about it”. Some photos: Dylan Chandler.

Back in 2017 Jo featured a home with knotty pine walls that has gotten lots of traffic ever since, and when I spotted the cottage of Barrie, ON based designer Ashley Montgomery I had to share another wonderful example of knotty pine done right. What was once her family’s horse stable (with stalls) outside of Toronto, then became storage, then was transformed into a cool “bunkie” or sorts that sleeps ten. The pine is original from when it was built in the 1950s, and was in such great condition it was simple cleaned and lacquered. She added in some flagstone on top of the concrete floors and with a colour scheme of black and white, it turned into a functional and modernized rustic space. Knotty pine at its finest.

The concept was a time-traveling train station as we referenced details of the original Chatham train station in the shelf and corbels of the custom booth, to the 70s California references and Viennese Hoffman chairs our client brought to the meetings. We tore down an outdated, clumsy coat closet to create a cozy fireside seating area with a hidden tech-cubby.
This foyer is an absolute dream! The tiny vestibule with newly built-in storage, all that glorious woodwork, the sweet powder room, those wallpapered stair niches….LOVE! Designed by Hollie Velten. Photos: Tom Leonczik.
