Designer Home: Kali Cavanagh

This wonderful restored cottage is the home of designer Kali Cavanagh. A mix of new and old, designer and vintage it has so many fun elements throughout. I love the bathroom just off the master bedroom with the big iron tub in the room just outside the bathroom where barn doors make a fun entrance. Super lights hanging from the ceiling in the all white bedroom with vintage linens and wood slat ceilings. The kitchen has the most amazing stove in a wonderful pale blue and a wall of subway tiles (a look I keep seeing in photos all over the internet). Dark walls in the living room mixed with leather create a super cool lounge vibe and just outside the antique doors is a terrace with a place for two to enjoy a little breakfast. Love this home!

Have a great weekend!

French Rustic in Nashville

Wow look at this dream kitchen! Look at the brass handle of the fridge with the wood and bird. So gorgeous! Actually the whole home is pretty much a dream for me. I love all of the lamps, which are so my style, sort of rustic meets vintage. What about that amazing sink? So great with the ice and champagne which is wonderful styling. The bench around the dining room table is such a good idea and adds so much extra seating. Yes I could just move in thank you!

Have a great weekend!

Country Home with Sarah Richardson

I used to watch Sarah Richardson on HGTV all the time and I always loved the homes she redid. They all had something similar about them that is so easy to live in and yet so beautifully done. She loves to put a lot of seating into her homes and she makes them comfortable, cozy and ready for guests. I really like this open plan space with the kitchen and living room together with all of these wonderful pale sea tones....but the rooms I like best of Sarah are the bathrooms. She does the best bathrooms, always in grey marble and chandeliers and lots of bright chrome and mirrors. Just what I want!!

Enjoy!

At Home in Muskoka

This home on Lake Muskoka in Ontario is nothing short of spectacular! Take a look at the location in the last photo...absolutely stunning! The inside is equally as beautiful, fully done in white with accents from nature...a stone fireplace, rough wood counter top on the kitchen island and a wide plank wood floor. This house may be in the country but the furnishings are very elegant in their lines as is the architecture. The details are fantastic in the ceiling of the living room and the wonderful paneled walls that are different in almost every room. When you look at each photo it is incredible all of the different elements the designer and builder, Muskoka Living, have put into this home right up to the marble on the ceiling of the shower...So well done!

Cottage in Cornwall

This beautiful house in Cornwall was designed by photographer Paul Massey. A longtime fashion, news and interiors photographer Paul has recently created some amazing homes himself. What I love the best in this house though is the kitchen design...oh this is really so great! The subway tile all the way to the ceiling looks fantastic, the great finish on the cupboards and the wooden countertop all add up to an inspiring space. The kitchen is open to the living room area which is decorated in a really simple and beautiful way with comfortable, stylish furniture. The whole house feels easy and cozy. Nothing fussy or precious just a really comfortable welcoming space.

Salvage Chic

This country retreat of Paige and Smoot Hull started out as a getaway place near Round Top for the couple. To help with the mortgage they started to rent out their salavage filled home as a vacation rental. Before too long their vacationing clients wanted to purchase items from their home and just like that they became antique dealers. Their home has got the most amazing vintage pieces from screen doors over the fireplace to an old door as a headboard. The memo board is a bed spring and the fan cover over the stove is a metal awning. Super inventive recycling of materials and so well styled inside the home.

Home by the Sea

I really love this home by the sea from Remodelista (fabulous website you should follow!). There is so much I like here it is hard to know where to start but I think it really is about the mix of fabrics, vintage and otherwise, that does it for me. I use a lot of vintage fabrics in my own home and I cannot get enough. They bring so much warmth to a table or a room I think I would layer my rooms with even more if I could. The beautiful combination of reds and blues throughout the home, the textures of all the furnishings and accessories from wood to metal to leather. So well done and so natural in the space..

Stone Cottage

This 19th century stone cottage in Southern Australia has really lovely details inside and outside the home. I just love the covered porch outside and of course all of the architectural details on the inside. Wonderful ceilings and moldings throughout the space make each room really special! The kitchen is also really fun with the blue dishes and the monogram on the door...I have never seen that before but what a cute idea!

Hope you have a great weekend planned!

Danish Cottage

This wonderful Danish home of jewellery designer Charlotte Lynnggard has been finished with the most luxurious and beautiful materials but what is most interesting is the story behind it. Every time Charlotte passed the cottage on the way to visit her mother-law, she and her husband would peer longingly at the home they refered to as the "Tea Rose House". Formally belonging to a Swedish actress, they finally bought their dream home and moved in on their wedding night. Renovating the home with a minimalist, light touch they have now lived there for 18 years. Beautiful home, romantic story....

California Ranch Style Home

This fixer upper was just what designer Kelley Motschenbacher was looking for when she and her husband began looking for a country home. They created a beautiful and comfortable space filled with white furniture and colourful accents. Gorgeous white sofas slip-covered with vintage French linens make the upkeep easy even with a big golden lab! I really love the desk area with the wonderful shelving and the amazing lamp and the bedroom wall lamps are also really great. There are so many perfect vintage pieces in this space that add wonderful texture like the rattan coffee table and the wooden basket she uses as a table in the bedroom. Add a few rag and sisal rugs and you have the perfect place to relax and unwind on the weekends!
