A renovated 1860’s cottage in New Orleans

Posted on Tue, 14 Mar 2023 by KiM

The loving renovation of this 1860’s cottage in the Bayou St. John neighborhood of New Orleans consisted of an addition to the rear of the house for a new primary suite and mudroom as well as the full renovation of the existing baths, laundry room, and main living areas. Designing a home that felt untouched by time but functions well for a modern family resulted in a respite full of dreamy and relaxed spaces meant to support and inspire the creatives that live there. A soft and layered color palette, vintage inspired baths, painted wood floors, and a downright cheerful personality makes this sweet home perfectly charming, leaving us lost in reverie.
I am smitten with this vintage vibin’ home. Charming it absolutely is. The gingham in the living room paired with stripes and florals is soooo pretty. And the curtains in the bathroom partitioning that stunning tiled bath/shower area – the drama! Designed by Logan Killen Interiors.

Profusion of pastels

The design of this Brook Green terrace, beautifully proportioned and bathed in light, was the result of working collaboratively with a young couple who wanted to create a sophisticated, stylised and colourful home. The Devol kitchen units were repainted, and we sourced a bright pink marble worktop for the island. Our clients’ existing pink artwork was the starting point for the furniture pieces, fabrics and upholstery scheme in the sitting room. In the dressing room we retained the inner wardrobe structures and made new doors – a combination of mirroring and geometric raised panelling transformed the space. In the bathroom, the shower, bath and taps were kept in situ and we fitted the striped floor and wall tiling, designed a bespoke vanity with coloured marble, painted the bath. Purity of colour was an important part of the vision and we worked hard to find the right shades to achieve an interior that feels colourful yet calm and incredibly modern.
Such a pretty, soothing colour palette of pink, yellow, green and blue that has a softness yet fresh energy about it. By London-based Golden Design. (Photos: Tom Carter)

The power of colour

Posted on Tue, 28 Feb 2023 by KiM

This incredible interior design project by Gracinha Viterbo is a stunning display of the power of color. Gracinha has expertly used color to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. She has chosen colors that bring out the best of the space and reflect the natural beauty of the area. The colors used in this project are vibrant and alive, creating an atmosphere full of positive energy. In addition to her use of color, Gracinha has also used furniture and artwork to create a stylish living space. She has selected pieces that are eye-catching, yet functional, and that complement the colors chosen throughout the space. With her careful selection of furniture and artwork, Gracinha has created a living space that is full of character and charm. 
I love how Gracinha took the green in the main living room ceiling down onto the walls a foot or so. It’s dramatic but not overwhelming. And having white hallways gives the eye a break and is also dramatic in its simplicity.

The owners of this house in Cobham, Surrey turned to Vaughan Design & Development to rescue their ground floor from the 1990s. The revival added more personality with texture and colour to the large open spaces. Gone are the swags and tails, stained carpet and orange-toned wood. What has emerged is a beautiful family home, welcoming and warm.

Ideally situated in the heart of the golden triangle within easy reach of Gaillac and Albi and 1h15 minutes to Toulouse is this magnificent period property, dating back to the 15th century. As part of an old chateau, this majestic building is currently a private residence alongside a guest house and has a total of 10 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. The 3 levels are all accessed via a beautiful inner courtyard and an impressive stone spiral staircase. The galleried landings are of exposed timbers, with half-timbered walls, double or triple mullioned windows and lead-set stained glass windows. The building was restored by master craftsmen over a 4 year period in the 1980s. The stunning 77m² lounge/reception room has impressive beams, exposed stone walls, a monumental fireplace, stained glass mullioned windows and access to the south facing terrace with its 180 degree view of the beautiful surrounding countryside. There is also a 377m² garden just opposite the property which could be accessed from inside the house via an underground passage.
