On the wintery grey days that we first visited the house, we felt that it needed a big injection of colour and warmth. Previously all the walls were a bright white, which starkly contrasted with a green slate floor and oak woodwork. We loved the Arts & Crafts style, along with the storybook setting right on the banks of the estuary so our design developed this sense of nostalgia through the use of William Morris and Voysey wallpapers, heirloom textiles, and plenty of beautiful antiques.
So glad the homeowners are now rid of the white that this home clearly wasn’t in the mood for. Love all the beautiful colours and that yellow floral wallpaper is the prettiest! Designed by COAL Architecture & Interior Design.

A smile spreads across my face every time I see these photos. The joy! The fun! The fabulous pastels! It’s a sherbert cone of a house for owners who are not afraid of colour and personality. Cheerful, bright and brilliant. Brook Green by East London architectural interior design studio Golden Design.

Slade Hooton Hall

This impressive Grade II*-listed house was built in the William and Mary style of the 17th century. Sitting within over four acres of private grounds, the house enjoys far-reaching views over South Yorkshire’s surrounding countryside. Unfolding over 5,500 sq ft, the house has two fantastic reception rooms, a generous kitchen and eight bedrooms, as well as numerous outbuildings. One of the earliest classically-designed houses of the region, a sympathetic restoration has preserved some of its exceptional original features, such as the trompe l’œil painting crowing the main staircase. Complete with a swimming pool, an entertaining hall, orchards and a greenhouse, the house makes for a wonderful self-contained oasis. 
Dear gawd, where do I sign?!?! This home is soooo checking all my boxes. And (massive Aga) then (pool) some (glasshouse…greenhouse…lake…outbuildings…conservatory…fountain…). For sale via Inigo.

Working on a Saturday

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. Ottolenghi test kitchen by Studiomama. Hang on I’m lying. You’d have to drag me out of the Ottolenghi test kitchen not into it!

What was once a boxy, cramped 1920s lakehouse located among Ohio’s Portage Lakes, is now a swanky residence for a retired “single, older gentleman” who is I betcha going to find himself an equally swanky partner now that he has these cool digs! A bit mad men and a bit roaring ’20s is where Tanner Sammons and Jennifer Laouari of Morgan Madison Design took this home and it is possibly one of the classiest lakehouses I’ve ever seen.
