If you go down to the woods today you’re in for a big surprise. No not the teddy bears’ picnic. Something better. This stylish home nestles gently in the forest echoing the surrounding timbers. A sophisticated summer home in the Stockholm Archipelago by Halleroed.

I have been following Matthew and Rick Bettencourt of Bettencourt Manor on IG for some time now and have been in love with their style – it’s earthy, rustic, vintage, geometric, contemporary….a little of everything rolled into this most wonderful package. They bought a 1400 sq ft log cabin in the Kawarthas (Omemee, On.) as an all-season escape from city life and the 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Bettencourt Lodge is now available on Airbnb for an escape of your own! It is an absolutely stunning getaway in both summer and winter.

A classic California Tudor remodelled for a young family of creatives and their many house guests. When the clients bought the house most of its character had been lost over the years. We worked hard to bring it back to a more authentic version of itself, choosing an aesthetic direction that tastefully represents their bohemian side while keeping it both timeless and relevant. The end result is a house that is warm, inviting and magical. A real embodiment of the client’s personality. 
Character is sure has!!! I love the casual + cozy vibes that exude from this home. Lots of warm wood really makes you want to hug each space. Another beauty designed by Meghan Eisenberg. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

A remodel of a California Mid Century home, lovingly architected and built by Meghan’s grandfather, Donald Park, in 1950. As an homage to the architecture, we drew upon his original design details for inspiration and playfully updated the finish palate to give the home a warm but revived sensibility. For the furnishings, we referenced 60’s Ranch House decor, which allowed us to introduce traditional fabrics and classical silhouettes into the post and beam setting.
I love midcentury architecture but often wonder what direction I would take with the décor if I owned a home in this style. Though I may love MCM architecture, I don’t necessarily want the décor to be so typical of the period. This, my friends, is exactly how it should be done. Meghan Eisenberg did her family proud.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself to work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. 255 George Street by Richards Standish.
