Interior designer Mike Moser‘s latest project is a 1950s ranch-style home in LA’s Bel Air. Moser preserved its 1950s spirit while modernizing the layout, creating a space that seamlessly blends past and present. Think rich, layered mid-century modern with a stone, cork and wood materials palette, vast walls of glass to capture the views and an easy indoor outdoor feel.

The Becker Barn is an ongoing project on the Toandos Penninsula in the Hood Canal (Washington). The property was lost by the family in a drunken Poker game by Saul’s Grandfather “Babe” in the 70’s (Saul Becker of Mutuus). The opportunity presented itself in 2020 to purchase the property which was adjacent to the tiny cabin that Saul spent his childhood in. Mutuus partners Saul and Kristen spend most weekends with their children there slowly remodeling, dreaming, and testing their design ideas. They see it as an opportunity to prototype Mutuus Made lighting, try out ideas, dabble in landscape design, harvest oysters, spend time with their family, and entertain friends. The gambrel roofed structure has a commanding presence in the landscape that Saul has known since birth. The Becker’s are a restless bunch and this project keeps them in their happy place, constantly dreaming.
Give me all the rustic, barn-like cabins in the woods. The perfect weekend getaway to escape to.

The complete renovation of a two up two down derelict cottage, featuring a back extension that doubled the footprint of the property and introduced a generous master suite as well as a large open plan living area and kitchen complete with island. The extension required extensive groundworks and a large retaining wall to be built 4m below ground level. This created a dual level aspect between the old cottage and the new extension, separating the dining area in the old cottage from the kitchen in the extension with wall to wall steps. Due to the fortified wall being below ground level and having no windows, 3 large crittal doors were installed on the opposite wall that open out onto the sunken terrace, flooding the open plan living and kitchen with light and bringing the outside in.

Very much neutral and I find myself dying for a bit more colour and pattern in this home but I know neutrals can also sing its own song of calm and soothing peacefulness and it’s such a beautiful renovation that I had to share.

A historic 1660 (yes you read that right) saltbox house in Cape Cod is an elegant interpretation of Early American style and modern facilities. The renovation by Boston-based SLC Interiors exposed the rustic bones of the building yet infused the home with style and grace. Warm, inviting and well lived in.

Leanne Ford may have an obsession for white but even she can show restraint when renovating her own historical 120-year-old home in Pittsburgh. The wood paneled walls in the library are so moody and cozy and look SO much better stained than slathered in white paint. Such a beautiful home. Photos: Amy Neunsinger, Erin Kelly.
