I can’t seem to get enough of the work of Manhattan based architect Peter Pennoyer. I am constantly featuring his firm’s work because I could see myself living in almost every home he designs. Love the fact that he effortlessly combines traditional architecture with modern details.

Wouldn’t it be nice to throw a little cocktail party in this home? Wouldn’t it?

    Oh goodness!! I want to move in right now. Just in time for cocktail hour. Love the pocket doors that frame the stunning view into the dining room. Is it camera angle, or is the dressing area a bit cramped? I can’t figure out how those big doors open. Perhaps the owner is extremely slim, and only needs to open them a crack. 😉

    Love it! No home of mine is ever going to look as classy as that place, so I like to live vicariously through pictures of places like that!

    Such a sophisticated and elegant space – really love it! The pocket doors betweeen the living and dining rooms are stunning. (I also like how they play off the black of the window frames.) Great feature!

Heidi Caillier Design took this historic San Francisco home and layered floral wallpaper, striped drapery, checked linens, and antique textiles room after room without a single one feeling overdone. Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
Save this for the masterclass in mixing prints. 🔖

A great bathroom isn’t just functional, it’s the one room in the house that’s entirely yours. The stone you choose, the way light hits the fixtures, the tub you actually want to sit in. These are the ones that get it exactly right.
Save this for your next bathroom renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.
