Warm, earthy, neutral, comfortable and a wee bit monastic. This sort of vibe is one of the rare times I appreciate a white backdrop. A really pretty Spanish home in San Jose designed by Evgenia Merson. Photos: Jessica Burke.

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. Annina Showroom, Holland Park by Isabella Worsley.

Wisteria Cottage – Detached 5 bed Victorian cottage with a modern timber & glass and critical extension, with a large garden that overlooks farm fields. The garden also has a separate timber built 2 bed cabin with modern rustic interiors. The downstairs is mainly open plan with a large modern kitchen, which has a 100 year old olive growing out of the kitchen island. The open plan downstairs consists of a large garden room, kitchen, kitchen diner, dining room, utility, snug/5th bedroom, office and downstairs toilet. There are 7 sets of double crittal doors that open out onto different parts of the garden overlooking farm fields and an 11th century church and graveyard. The first floor has 4 double bedrooms, three with ensuites and a family bathroom which has an antique roll top copper bath.
This home has both modern and rustic spaces which is a heavenly combination (IMHO). Also if I can somehow get a built in planter for an olive tree in my next house…. Location home available via Shoot Factory.

“On the hills of Brentwood this 4 bedroom home looks over the city and Santa Susana mountains. The livability and light is what initially attracted us to this 1970’s ranch style home. It now surrounds a pool and lush greenery emphasizing the indoor-outdoor objective of the design. The material palette is largely comprised of white oak, varieties of Ceppo Marble and color saturated bathrooms using vibrant tile.”

With an unwavering commitment to character driven homes that speak to the architectural landscape and soul of Los Angeles Joelle Kutner and Jesse Rudolph of Ome Dezin have infused this mid century residence with thoughtful design and modern livability.

It’s the week of my favourite designers and Frances Merrill of Reath Design is up there as one of my top 5, and I was excited to see a couple of newly completed projects from her so here is one of them. Such wonderful details in this home and lovely to see them maintained and showcased. Frances’ touches of some dark colours (and some unexpected shades here and there – proving you don’t have to use the same colours throughout for cohesion…how boring!) and some wallpapers add sooo much character. I particularly love the sweet little dining area off the kitchen. Photos: Laure Joliet. Styling: Mieke ten Have.
