I spent the long weekend on an amazing ranch in Montana. Now that I am back in the city I am missing the fresh country air and the warmth of the interiors. Shamir Shah Design’s project in Vermont feel nothing short of a lovely retreat.

I love how the wood surrounds the integrated sink and the gorgeous wood mirror.

Can I please be here all week?

Coolest contemporary bunk beds ever I think.

Fall, my favorite season is approaching and we are leaving summer behind. Today, a little Shelton, Mindel & Associates Martha’s Vineyard inspiration. Summer, we love you.

Peter Rose–designed beach house.

Cedar-shingle-clad main house.

A pedigree of modern pieces; Arne Vodder chaise, Jean Royère armchairs, a Pierre Chapo low table and a Franco Albini rattan armchair. I love the fully enveloped cedar wood room with the exposed brick fireplace. Warm and welcoming.

What could be better than a bright orange Saarinen Tulip table? The textures of the cedar wood ceiling and wall cladding paired with the brick, bluestone hearth and the woven shades is quiet and cocoon-like. Ruelland vases, and Jean Prouvé chaise.

Cedar wood walls and ceiling and Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs and a Fabricius & Kastholm table. Amazing photograph by Noriko Furunishi.

A casual kitchen with cedar cabinetry and bluestone countertops. Accessorized with Michelle Boyer candelabrum and green vases by Dani and Jacques Ruelland.

I have been obsessing over this house for a while now and cannot believe I have not posted about it yet…This brilliant 5300 sq. ft. barn transformation in Remsenburg, NY by d’apostrophe design headed up by Francis D’Haene, a belgian architect was created for one of the founders of the Le Pain Quotidian. They literally re-engineered the whole structure, knocking down interior walls and creating a perfectly balanced minimalist + rustic interior. Can I please live here?

Cedar planks salvaged from a working barn. Double set of custom Dutch doors.

Ahhh, everything I <3…douglas fir floors, white lacquer kitchen, rustic ceiling beams, the extra wall sofa by Piero Lissoni and pops of color (red) in the vintage moroccan rug.

<3 <3 <3

Custom cabinetry by Poliform. I happen to love the concept of linear windows behind cooktops/sinks like this.

I love the idea of a big banquette around the dining table…very cozy. Tom Dixon beat pendants, Hans Wegner wishbone chairs.

This is a yoga room! A-frame, rustic wood ceiling beam, minimal sleek walls, carrera marble floors and a big happy picture window. Sigh…

I am loving the lines and unity of this apartment.

Black + white

This is perfection. All the elements align, nothing to add, nothing to take away. Sexy black pillows and rug.

Floating platform steps! My fav!

The black wall and shelving really make the books jump off the wall…loving this pop(!) of green in the table, it is just enough of wow.

Sexy sexy. The forms create such a dynamic space even with just black and white.

Vertical niche of books+horizontal floating stone plane…I cannot get enough!

Meticulous placement of the art frames. I think I need a ladder in the bathroom like this.

Elegant arrangement of photography frames on a ledge. The whole space feels like a deep breath.

The new issue of Elle Decor has a beautifully curated city loft by Steven Volpe.

Solarium windows to die for.

Arne Jacobsen floor lamp, Ron Arad’s Oh-Void chair, aluminum-and-marble table by Philippe Hiquily.

Kind of getting addicted to these colors…midnight blue + rust. Mongolian lambskin chair is by Franco Albini. Exposed brick.

Bleached mahogany kitchen cabinetry. Calacatta d’Oro marble counters, Franke fittings.

A bit of greenery goes a long way.

Today, friends, I will be traveling to Florida for a my Florida Keys project install. It is a partial install but cannot wait to share some pics. For now, I leave you for the day with some beach house inspiration.

Color palate reminiscent of a hazy day at the beach. I spy a christian liaigre chaise + sofa here…my hero.

pale wood + white = yipee!

well edited vignette with some handmade objects and a bit of green whimsy.

Wood screen-like headboard with sconces above the nightstands…concept love.

Impeccable collaboration. I am drawn to the subdued monochromatic colors, the pale bleached woods which create a continuous space and the perfect balance of collectible pieces.

I love this idea of the low bookshelf fluidly connecting the two living area’s and dining room.

Pierre Jeanneret caned and ebonized-teak chairs, Franz West pendant. Flawless design.

White lacquer cabinets with oak topped bar. Bulthaup kitchen. This vintage chair is making my heart go pitter patter.

Digging the linear aspect of this kitchen/dining with the floating shelves and floating plank. Gorgeous minimal palate of woods and creamy whites. Chairs designed by Ricardo Fasanello. Design by Arthur Casas.

Is this my heaven…yes it is. Absolute modern elegance by Thad Hayes. Gorgeous combination in the black jacaranda chairs by Joaquim Tenreiro and the custom dining table. And of course, accessories perfectly edited.
