The first impression when we came across this 1920 estate in Palm Beach is that we really love its classical details in both its architecture structure and interior furnishings yet the house is quite clean and modern at the same time. Here are our favorite highlights for this home.
It’s Friday. We thought it might be a good idea to tour a home with some beautiful colors. This historic home in Charlotte, North Carolina is graceful, feminine, warm, and timeless with a modern flair. we love the artisan wallpapers, textiles, old-world charming furnishings and locally crafted fine furniture used through the house. Here are the highlights of our favorites.
Entry
The more time you spend at home, the more you are likely to notice some detail you don’t like and you want to do something about it. In case after 6-weeks of quarantine, you kind of develop a big plan to elevate your home and feel a little bit overwhelmed, don’t worry, we have 3 simple rules you may want to consider and we will use one of the projects we did as a case study:
2. Own one or two pieces you really treasure and showcase or design around them. The custom-made Murano table lamp with a pink shade, the artwork and green velvet bar chairs in the above video are what my client really falls in love with and they are the focal points in her home.
3. Mix and match pieces from different styles and periods to keep the overall design interesting and timeless. In the video above, Louis XVI bar chairs are classical while the green midcentury chairs in the family room is mid-century, which creates such a nice contrast with all of the traditional components in the house.
Hope these decor tips are helpful.

With bombarded news on Cov-19 on everyday, we are eagerly looking for some beautiful design that wow us and let us get away for a while yet still let us feel relevant and the comfy of home. Then we came across this redesign of a Newport home by Peter Dunham on Veranda Magazine. We got to know Pete through his fascinated textile collections —bright colors, sophisticated patterns , layered casual and vintage vibes , and his inspirational story how he got evolved to design from real estate industry.
The house is located in Newport, California and the home owners bought it more than 25 years ago. Not satisfied with the limited nature light thanks to the house’s traditional L shape, the home owners did several remodeling throughout years. and now theirs kids are all grown up and they would like to have some new exciting changes to start their new chapter in life. . The wife is gardener and love cooking. She entertains a lot outdoors. So, let’s have a tour on this charming adobe together.
Architect Bob White of Forest Studio did such a great job by moving the footprint forward on the lot to embrace a pool and open up more outdoor living and entertaining areas. In the picture above, we love how the new-built white pool house are against against a backdrop of big pines and eucalyptus just like a dreamy English country house.
And for indoors, the home owners hired Pete Dunhum to re-imagine their house because they love how he layers vintage with contemporary art. In the picture above of living room, we can see a large contemporary artwork by Jennifer Bartlett nicely contrasts with an antique mantle, vintage Syrie Maugham armchairs and a round ottoman which make the space collected and rooted.
From the picture above, this is totally Peter Dunham’s signature style—-vibrant Indian textiles, exotic furniture pieces all mix up with soft British parsley roman shades, mid-century modern wall cones in a warm and feminine backdrop of a warm peach wall paint. The color palette in this room is pulled out from a contemporary artwork on the wall to guarantee a cohesiveness in this space. We love the vibrant English cottage vibe in this space.
This all-white kitchen is definitely our favorite. The all-white color palette keeps the cool of a beach house while the natural wood on the chairs and hardwood flooring invite warmth to this kitchen. A custom-made brass-steel island range-hood is a focal point of the kitchen and also indicates that the wife is a serious cook.
Now it comes outdoor. We love this cute planting nook under the poolhouse stairs with a window to usher light into the workspace.
Textiles on this outdoor blue-stone banquette are just as sophisticated as indoors.

We came across this glamorous house and fell in love with the interiors immediately. Why? Because the interiors are airy, bright , clean-lined yet still have right doses of sophistication and classical elements. The home feels livable, and not over-stuffed. So, that being said, let’s take a look together.
Classical Black-and-White Checkered Marble Flooring at the entrance really excites our eye and breaks away from the all hardwood flooring, which injectc freshness, high-style and interests to the home.
Also what makes this home young, fashion-forward and glamorous are those clear crystal Lucite furniture. And wait, did you see that awesome geometric pattern on the ceiling—kind of similar to the pattern on the flooring.
Then, here comes pale French blue on kitchen island —soft and light. Shimmering pearl backsplashes are elegant and chic, echoing the translucent Lucite furniture. Brass trims on the range-hood, pendants and metal fame of the bar chairs elevate the whole kitchen.
Then here is blue geometric patterned built-in banquette talks to the blue kitchen island.
Such a great design on a wet-bar–simple, drama yet elegant.
