A 1912 New England seaside mansion

Posted on Wed, 24 Jul 2024 by KiM

A truly extraordinary remnant of America’s ‘Gilded Age’, this seaside mansion was built in 1912, extensively rebuilt in 1915 by Bigelow & Wadsworth Architects, and had fallen into disrepair by the time our clients bought it in 2015. The ambitious refurbishment was led by the New York-based Peter Pennoyer Architects, with whom Max Rollitt and the team worked collaboratively to restore the historic interiors and myriad original features, including panelling, fire surrounds and light fittings. Architectural elements completed, Max and the team set about creating rooms that carefully balanced the theatricality of the house with an inviting sense of comfort.
WOW this home is SPECTACULAR! The details are of the caliber of what you would find in a European château. The woodwork and carvings are blowing my mind, and I absolutely adore the kitchen. Also, it has a flower room. I’m dying. (Most photos by Simon Upton)

(Google Translate) In Hälsingland, where the Ljusnan river winds its way through the landscape, lies this fantastic property – an old trading house from 1886 in central Arbrå. Completely renovated in collaboration with a conservator with, among other things, hand-printed tapestries throughout the house, cardboard stretched ceilings, of which the hall has a beautiful ceiling painting. The wallpapers are reprints of models from the early years of the house, mostly found in the lowest layers of wallpaper. Between 1890 and 1980, the area’s well-known shoe store was located on the ground floor and it is still the same with a grocery counter and safe. 
Taking a quick break from château hunting to bring you this wonderful historic home in Sweden. It is a stunner inside and out and I looooooove that the owners tried to keep it as original as possible when they renovated after a fire in 2017. All of those wallpapers…..it really brings this home to life. For sale via Historiska Hem.

Occupying a prominent corner plot in Saratoga Springs, Upstate New York, this handsome Victorian villa operated as a six-bedroom bed and breakfast when our clients took it on. Our brief was to transform a series of bland, lifeless rooms into a holiday home for a young family with a passion for horse racing and entertaining. Guided by the client’s admiration for British contemporary craft and bold, richly layered interiors, we have focussed on creating a series of impactful rooms that delight the eye and encourage conversation and conviviality.
As I admire each of the rooms in this home, it must feel like living in a meadow of wildflowers. This is soooooo pretty! Designed by Sarah Brown.

A pretty North London home

Posted on Thu, 4 Jul 2024 by KiM

Those Londoners sure do consistently have fun with their interiors. Always a delight to the eyes with colours and patterns, and Sascal Studio really added some pizzazz into this formerly soulless white home and now it’s yelling from the rooftops “come on over and hang out!”. That jib door powder room under the stairs is the freaking cutest! Photos: Angus Williams.

Victorian home revival

Posted on Thu, 27 Jun 2024 by midcenturyjo

This warm, tranquil home features ancient stone, reclaimed wood floors and richly coloured tiles complemented by opulent wallpaper and antique lighting. Bespoke cabinetry maximizes space with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, nursery shelves, and bedroom wardrobes. The full renovation of this compact Victorian house revealed stunning period details by removing false walls and boxed-in fireplaces. Precision planning included new electrics, plumbing, and fixtures, creating a cohesive layout that reflects the owners’ personalities. The Victorian Renovation by Emily Dobbs Interiors.
