This home and the lifestyle it embodies are all about embracing the natural essence of this sybaritic island through an authentic celebration of indoor-outdoor living. Through a series of interconnected pavilions, a collected, art-forward home came together, revealing a deeply rich and intense color palette full of playfulness, elegance, and luxury. A mixture of ebonized gray French Oak and limestone flooring, paired with warm plaster walls adds to the relaxing and inviting interior.
What a heavenly place this would be to escape to in the winter months (or any months for that matter). A slice of Caribbean heaven. By Alexander Design.

This Austin ranch designed by Light and Dwell is “mountain ranch” style and I am loving every inch of it. Stone walls and fireplaces (mostly painted white…..ugh but does lighten things up), exposed wood ceiling beams in almost every room, the warmed wood kitchen, lots of furry chairs I want to sink into, and everything bathed in soothing neutrals. Timeless and classic but make it a bit rustic but also a bit sophisticated. Photos: Harry Crowder.

We brought a 1970s lakeside cottage back to life with a complete gut remodel, restoring the vintage cabin feel and layering with vintage and luxury finishes to create a boutique short term rental experience for guests to enjoy. We were going for a laid-back luxury vibe bringing in lots of our favorite vintage pieces collected over time. We used handmade tile, natural stone, and textiles in rich, earthy colors and organic textures. We let the outside in with new patio doors and windows throughout. While the main room was painted with a warm white, we dialed up the mood in the bedrooms and bathrooms with deep, earthy tones. 
If I stumbled upon this cool cottage on Airbnb I’d be booking it on the spot. Not your typical cottage vibes and definitely amping up the sophistication. Designed by Meet West Studio.

Inside an iconic landmark building built in 1908 in the Upper West Side, the home is combined by two adjacent apartments.  The goals were to reconfigure a thoughtful flow tracing the footprint of the new owner while carrying out the inherited architectural details seamlessly. The original architectural detail was carefully preserved and set the tone of the dwelling while connecting the design to the beaux arts roots of the building. Steeped in the rich history of New York, our focus was a transformative journey to reshape the historic home with a new narrative.
I am DYING over all of that original wood detail. I would have been inclined to have gone darker in the rest of the spaces so the white isn’t so contrasting but I appreciate the bold approach. Design: Bespoke Only; Photos: William Jess Laird.

I had to share another Shoot Factory location home with you (this one is a Georgian 3 bedroom 1 bathroom in London) because this also tugs at my heartstrings for being so effortlessly casual and cool, with a basic vintage vibe and not being so “trendy” like the previous one. And I would have been completely sold upon walking through the front door, turning around and seeing that yellow painted landscape. Sooooo pretty!
