The Mountain Brook, Birmingham home of architect James F. Carter takes you back in time, despite being a new build. The brick Georgian style exterior is quite a beauty, and the interior is filled with classic, traditional details which sets the stage for an impressive collection of antiques. It is a home he must cherish.

This Austin hacienda is a wonderful example of a home built to connect the indoors with the outdoors. I love that it’s casual with rustic touches and ranch style with lots of huge windows to enjoy the gardens and pool. I also really like the slatted wood detailing found in several of the rooms.

All I need are a few books, some tunes, a handful of cats, lots of wine, and I’ll see you in October! Villa Rauhanniemi located in Karjalohja, Finland, is an ideal spot to escape for the summer months. Designed by Joanna Laajisto.

A little vacation to a cottage as beautiful and soothing and easy on the eye as this one would be a dream. This neutral stone & thatched roof cottage in The Cotswolds is all wood and white and sisal and stone and wicker and linen/cotton….it’s heaven. Available as a location home via Shoot Factory.

Or at least that’s the way Moscow and St Petersberg-based interior designer Tim Veresnovsky describes this apartment in Komarovo on the Gulf of Finland. The rendered walls, terracotta tiled arches (the wrong side of the tile was used for its texture and colour) and rich wood panelling play into the tonal colour palette of rusts and browns. Sophisticated and stylish. A far cry from the brutalist Soviet sanatoriums by the ocean.
