Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 5 Jul 2025 by midcenturyjo

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 and there isn’t anything more stylish than a designer’s own offices. Welcome to the creative studio of Laura Gonzalez.

A really fun and fresh vibe in this home designed by LA-based design studio Proem. It is a mashup of contemporary and vintage, dark and light, with a youthful energy that isn’t taking things too seriously. I can get behind that. Photos: Madeline Tolle; Architect: Sutro Architects.

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 and there’s nowhere near as stylish as a designer’s own offices. The Studio by GACHOT.

Timeless tranquility in Austin

Posted on Thu, 26 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

Set in Austin, this home by Molly Kidd Studio has a contemporary European vibe. Designed as a sanctuary from busy lives, it blends soft neutrals, layered textures and natural materials for a calm, timeless feel. Venetian plaster walls and bold elements like Arabescato marble and vintage lighting add depth and personality. With over half of the furnishings being vintage ( sourced locally and abroad) the home feels effortlessly collected, warm and quietly dramatic.

This vibrant family home in the French countryside, just outside Paris, was completely transformed by Sean Symington over an 18-month renovation. Working closely with a young family who relocated from London, the project reimagined the interiors while respecting the home’s original architecture. Grand proportions and symmetry provided the perfect canvas for layering bold colour, texture, and pattern. An eclectic art collection informed much of the design direction, inspiring a personal, expressive aesthetic. Bespoke joinery, antique finds, and custom upholstery bring warmth and individuality to this richly detailed and welcoming home.
