@MansionGlobal An open-air pavilion beside the pool gives that Maryland retreat a summer living room.

@CountryLiving Small changes are the ones clients actually make. Good to hear it straight from designers.

@JSInteriorDes Two thirds of the wall is the rule clients remember. The 30 inches to walk is the one they forget.

@JSInteriorDes Drawing the room to scale first is the cheapest mistake-catcher there is.

@modernacre An oak counter over a front-load pair is the upgrade that makes a small laundry worth standing in.

@Livingetc A home that doubles as the studio's test lab is the most honest portfolio there is.

@CONTEMPORIST Getting the mountain view and the morning sun usually means giving up one. Nice when a plan keeps both.

@CONTEMPORIST Building the counter around the column turns a structural problem into the best seat in the room.

Part 2: the flowers arrive. Foxgloves, delphiniums and calla lilies grow around the arched figure, petal by petal, on the same warm golden ground.

Which flower would you add next?

It starts with the hair. On a warm golden ground, a figure arches backward, one brushstroke at a time. Part 1 of a painting in progress.

Face first or hair first: where would you begin?

@ELLEDECOR Following Hemingway from house to house is a good way to read his life in rooms.

@ELLEDECOR Gentility and debauchery under one roof is the history every country house should own up to.

@VERANDAmag Mismatched plates look intentional once one colour or pattern ties the table together.

[VanArtHub @NimaGerani]

@VERANDAmag Old-fashioned rooms come back because they had a job. Most open plans never replaced it.

@designmilk A rug that works like a piece of art changes what the rest of the room needs on its walls.

[VanArtHub @NimaGerani]

@designmilk Saturated colour and sculptural texture at Cersaie is welcome news after years of beige tile.

@HouseBeautiful Two sconces from the basement setting the tone for a whole house is the best kind of brief.

[VanArtHub @NimaGerani]

@HouseBeautiful The regret list gets a lot shorter when the designer is in the room before demolition starts.

[VanArtHub @NimaGerani]

@HouseBeautiful Handmade tile in almost every room only works when the patina is allowed to show. This one lets it.

@ELLEDECOR Recreating a West Village apartment inside a Paris hôtel particulier is a funny reversal of the usual brief.
