A vicarage in England has traditionally been the residence of the vicar or parish priest. They’ve since become home to lay people and many interior designers. Since they are much smaller than a typical English manor home, they lend themselves to a more relaxed and comfortable style. While I was on the House & Garden UK […]

After years of bi-coastal living, Chance designer Julia Leach finally decided to give up her New York apartment and move to Venice, California.

I always joke that I’m a Southerner trapped in the body of a Yankee. I absolutely love antiques, china, silver, and proper manners. If I don’t end up retiring to Paris. I will definitely end up down south and if I do, I hope my home looks like Julia Reed‘s. The writer and author moved from […]
La rentrée is a French phrase used in September that is the equivalent of our ‘back to school” sentiment but it also refers to everyone returning home from their August vacation and resuming their normal routine. If I were hair stylist Frederic Fekkai, I would never return from the gorgeous estate he shares with his family […]

According to Instagram, Greece is one of the most popular places for travel this summer. After seeing this family compound that Isabel López-Quesada designed with architect Nikos Moustroufis designed on the island of Spetses, it’s easy to see why. The base of blue floor and white walls perfectly complements the color of the water and buildings of […]
I Am Love is one of the most visually stunning films I’ve ever seen. Of course it helps that much of it is set in Villa Necchi in Milan. It’s no wonder that Luca Guadagnino, the filmmaker behind it and the new film A Bigger Splash, has created his own chic home in a 17th-century palazzo […]
Everyone knows that space is at a premium in New York but that doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style in a small apartment. While Cole Wilson works at One Kings Lane and had help pulling her place together from OKL Studio designer Alex Reid, it’s still a great example of how you can […]
