WE’VE HAD this five-bedroom home in Sag Harbor, NY, saved in our folder for ages. Originally built in the 18th century, this weekend retreat with a guest house has been updated for modern comfort. The renovation combines luxurious neutrals with a mix of vintage and custom-designed pieces.
IT FEELS LIKE it's been a long time since we've been able to find wonderful things to share with you organically. Google feels a bit broken and Instagram, our other source for inspiration, isn't what it used to be.
WHEN I WAS little, pink was my absolute favourite colour. Although I like to think I’ve grown out of it and now tell people my favourite colour is black (which is true), pink still holds a special place in my heart.
WE ALL KNOW the iconic opening scene of the 1963 film Charade: Audrey Hepburn looking devastatingly chic in a chocolate brown Givenchy coat and oversized sunglasses, sipping coffee on a sunny terrace in the French ski resort of Megève.
A NEW YEAR, a fresh start—and storage, office spaces, and other reoganising projects seem to be on everyone’s minds this January. As far as office inspiration goes, we love the look of these calm and collected spaces with their airiness and neutral palettes.
THERE IS a sense of calm in the spaces designed by Warsaw-based interior architect and CG artist Julia Bimer. While there is definitely restraint, it doesn't feel oppressive.
THE INSTAGRAM algorithm seems to think that we love all things Scandinavian at the moment, and perhaps we do. That's how we came across Finnish social media content creator Metti Forssell (@mettiforssell) for this instalment of 10 IMAGES. We hadn't known of her before, but we love her penchant for chubby furniture and boiserie, chevron flooring and chandeliers; coffee and pastries on marble tables, shrimp pasta, bouclé chairs and more...
MARSEILLE-BORN Julie Pailhas got her start at Elle France, where she became a regular collaborator. She then joined Condé Nast Publications for the launch of Glamour France, where she would be Senior Fashion Editor for 8 years.
AS MENTIONED earlier, we’ve been searching for a coffee table that we both love. It hasn’t been an easy search, as I was looking for something with Carrara or Viola marble, but P was looking for a wood one. In the end, we discovered that there aren’t that many choices available after all, but in our searches...
WE’VE BEEN DOING quite a bit of décor research lately, looking for storage solutions (double wardrobes, bookcases, consoles⏤that sort of thing) and came across YouTuber Katja Nordkvist‘s serene home in Denmark.
WE CAME across stylist Colin King's Tribeca loft through the Instagram page of photographer and director William Jess Laird, who shot the home for a recent feature in the Wall Street Journal. After last week's neutral, stylishly laid-back vibe as featured in this home in the Netherlands, I know that my tastes must be changing, because this space has a similar feel...
RECENTLY we featured a few Beautiful Powder Rooms for Springtime, which included stripes and tiles, and of course, dramatic marble. For this week's Tuesday Two, we're highlighting two especially chic bathrooms with a focus on marble.
I’VE GONE back and forth between English countryside style and minimalist neutrals lately, and after a quick fling with the former again, I’m firmly back to the latter, having discovered this ultra-chic home, known as Herenhuis in ‘t Gooi (Mansion in the Gooi) on Instagram. If you’re not familiar with neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, the Gooi is an area around Hilversum, in the centre of the country. It is a slightly hilly area characterised by green landscapes, historical charm, villas, and is also known as home to the rich and famous.
FOR SOME strange reason, springtime always makes me feel like completely renovating the powder rooms. What seems to be fine in the winter, suddenly feels oppressive and in dire need of a makeover when the days get longer and the sun fills everything with its warm golden light. Can't wait until it's warm enough to throw open all the windows again and let the fresh air in, fluttering the gauzy curtains in the bathrooms here at the cottage.
IT WAS THE shell-encrusted powder room (above) belonging to art dealer William Thuillier and lampshade maker Alvaro Picardo in Pimlico featured in the World Of Interiors that first caught our eye. Somehow, after that, we began seeing them everywhere.
