This Shaker style house on the water is a new build with an old soul. Its timeless beauty lies in its simple lines and lack of extraneous decoration. I'm dreaming of wasting time sitting on the porch watching the river flow by or perhaps I'll be standing at one of those lovely sash windows staring off into the distance. Who cares! I'm just lost in the romance of this farmhouse by Washington DC based Jones Boer Architects.
Ah Maximalism! Never having to say no to surrounding yourself with what you love. Art, pottery, books and the collections, from treasures to not so mundane mementoes like the remnants of a modern day Grand Tour. It should be chaos but instead this 900 sq ft apartment in Gramercy Park, NY is a celebration of its owner. Design largesse by Alexandra Loew.
Drama, drama, drama. It's glam, it's lush, it's sophisticated yet theatrical. It's "Trad with a Twist", a dark boudoir with a provocative edge by Jessie D. Miller Design.
The renovation of this 1905 Dutch Colonial Revival in the historic Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, DC saw it go from tired and boring to a light-filled modern home with colourful art and a definite mid-mod style. If this lovely home was mine I know I'd walk through the door after a hard day at work and my spirit would just lift. Perfect. By Anne Decker Architects.
"There is nothing simple about simplicity. Simplicity is complexity."
The composition, the texture, the monochromatic palette, the considered choice of pattern, the restraint and careful curation. How deceptively simple and achingly beautiful. Buckhead by Atlanta-based Nancy Braithwaite Interiors.
