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. Isle of Us by Nicholas Obeid.

Up there with my love of converted churches is my love of converted barns. I might even love barns more because of the rustic, casual nature of their structures. “The Grateful Farm” in the Hudson Valley was built in the 1920s and purchased days before the pandemic as a weekend retreat but it sounds like the owners moved in and never left. How could you leave this picturesque scene and all that open space?! Lori Paranjape created an ideal hangout/sleepover/casual home that I know I could never leave, and you probably have to drag your guests out kicking and screaming. Photos: Andy Ryan

This incredible wood paneling was discovered by architecture and real estate firm Kasha Paris under layers of paint. WHAT WOULD EVER POSSESS SOMEONE TO PAINT OVER SOMETHING THIS BEAUTIFUL?!?! My mind is completely blown. Its beauty is now left to shine as it deserves and is quite spectacular. Put down the paint brush people, and get out the sandpaper!

Ashley Montgomery does it again with yet another project of perfection, where I would not change a single thing. On The Ravine is a blend of neutrals and wood and textures and earthiness and a touch of grandeur. So easy on the eyes. I’d walk through that front door and immediately let out a deep breath and sigh. Photos: Lauren Miller.

Light-filled and fabulous this Madrid apartment by Espejo & Goyanes celebrates the historic bones of the building but adds a refined contemporary sophistication. Natural wood tones combine with brighter than bright whites while golden metals and black accents punctuate the scheme.
