What is not to love about this kitchen?! It has EVERYTHING on my kitchen wish-list – cabinetry painted in the prettiest green (Calke Green by Farrow & Ball), black and white checkered tile floor, marble and tile backsplashes, a big Wolf range, and the pièce de résistance – original wood paneling and ceiling/beams that were sandblasted and refinished. It’s PERFECT. Designed by Jaqui Seerman. Photos: Jess Isaac.

Casa Cedros is located in Jalisco, Mexico and is an inspiring example of blending and engaging with the surroundings. Oak floors, cedar joinery and local stone are foundational and really does bring the surrounding nature inside providing a seamless experience. Keeping the colours very neutral helps emphasis the peace and calm that this home evokes. Designed by Aagnes. Photos: César Béjar.

The days are packed, the children are piled on docks and rafts. The clarity of the sky and the water feel endless and pure. Sunkissed kids crash on sofas, exhausted at the end of the day – there is a feeling of health and joy that we know we’ll need for long winter months ahead. This is not your home, this is not a zen spa, this is a summer cabin. Pairings: clementines, sunscreen, popsicles.
Another inspiring project by Prospect Refuge. This one is more modern but with lots of plain-sawn white oak paneling, it has woodsy cabin vibes but it light and bright and perfect for enjoying the warmer months. Photos: Matthew Williams.

Classic details marry with contemporary profiles to create a space outside of an era. Timefull materials, intended to age, lend ease and authenticity to the design. Unlacquered brass, hand troweled plaster, honed Pietra Gris, and ebonized oak walk the line between grandeur and everyday living. Pairings: wild rice, rainy afternoons, Crémant d’Alsace.
This is home of Victoria Sass of Minneapolis-based Prospect Refuge. It is everything I love about design and more. Respecting the history of a home (NOT painting the original woodwork!), adding lots of vintage touches and mixing it with more contemporary furnishings which are often what gets you the level of comfort we have come to expect. I adore every little bit each space. Photos: Chris Mottalini.

Can Frit by Ibiza & Barcelona based Romano Arquitectos. The merge of past and present. Modern and traditional architecture counterbalancing each other in a very pleasing way.
