Just a few scenes I happened upon by chance while on Nantucket last month…a bit of good luck and fortune in capturing some wonderful island scenes.

An ode to summer of sorts as we head into the long holiday weekend.

Oh summer.  Where did you go?  How is it already September?

What are your plans this holiday weekend?  Any of these island scenes appeal to you?  What do you think of the Tommy Hilfiger house exterior?

Anyhooo…Happy Friday!  Happy Labor Day Weekend!

    The image of the swan – the gracefulness of its presence – set against the wicker texture of the black table – is really quite stunning. The beauty of nature – the simplicity of the setting.

    Thank you for sharing images – enjoy the holiday!

    The houses are beautiful, and hydrangeas are one of my all-time favorite flowers…just gorgeous! They are no longer blooming here in Texas (too hot).

    Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Dr Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Drop your answer 👇
A — Warm wood beams and stone
B — Light and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows
A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.
