Southern charm in a Nashville home

Posted on Fri, 1 Dec 2023 by KiM

This family home in Nashville was designed by April Tomlin and exudes warmth and character and cozy cottage vibes from every corner. I am completely smitten with the European-style kitchen AND the working pantry AND the entertaining kitchen off the pool area. So much kitchen-y goodness to fall head over heels for!

Alpine fusion

Posted on Wed, 22 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

Electric Bowery reimagined a mountainside ski home, merging Alpine Chalet charm with Japanese Ryokan elements. Earthy tones mirror the high mountain desert hues with evergreen-tinged soapstone, cedar walls, Japanese tile and dark limestone flooring. Charlotte Perriand influenced lattice-work separates the kitchen from the dining area with its bespoke lighting and artisan ceramics. In the living room, floor-to-ceiling windows embrace the panoramic view. Bedrooms boasted unique touches like a cedar Japanese soaking tub and vibrant clay ceilings. A blend of timeless design and cultural fusion in Utah’s Deer Valley.

An inner-city terrace garden

“A beautiful palette of hardwood timber, brick and stone provides the perfect backdrop for the vibrant planting in this inner city terrace garden. Central to the design is a Japanese inspired arbor which creates subtle privacy and separation between the main dwelling and the outbuilding.”

This expansive and incredibly majestic château in Creuse, France is move-in ready and every inch is beautifully restored. It includes a scullery, service entrance, 2 dining rooms, cellar, 8 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, village entrance (?), library, smoking room, linen room and sooo much more. 10 years of restoration work reveals collection of 17th century embossed leather panels and wallpapers dating from the late 19th century. Now THIS is a DREAM piece of history you could own for €1,198,000 (via Patrice Besse)

A new-build mountain ranch home in Oregon

Posted on Fri, 20 Oct 2023 by KiM

The majestic footprint of the home needed an equally compelling design. This masculine rustic retreat was made with natural materials, organic accents, and an elevated approach for maximum comfort. We were able to translate the rugged surroundings into livable yet tailored spaces for this client and their family. From woodsy brown stains to neutral yet impactful tile, stone, and marble, each room feels like a retreat. The kitchen and dining nook have this moody and intimate feel to them. From the dark countertops to all of the complimentary natural stone, it is such a timeless combination. Rugged and elegant at once, the transition into the breakfast nook and dining space is seamless! We drew a lot of inspiration from Europe in this project.
This may be “rustic” but I’d add in there “elevated” and “refined”. It’s top-notch cabin living but no way are you letting people wander around with muddy boots on. Another one designed by Light and Dwell (maybe obvious because of their signature use of furry chairs…and now I need a furry chair). Photos: Michael Clifford
