About a year ago to the day, we did a similar post where we showed you the awesome house tours and room makeovers we had been pinning and collectively drooling over
Posted by admin on
It was initially prompted because the holiday content on the interwebs was already a lot and sometimes you just need to see a mantel without garland and stockings on it in December, right? So we thought why not do it again but with all new reveals (duh) and twice the amount (because it’s fun).
So grab a coffee or a glass of velvety red wine (that’s what I would like right now (it’s 5 pm, not 9 am I promise) and take some time out of your hopefully not too busy day to look at some serious eye candy. It almost always helps me feel good so I hope it helps you a little too. Let’s jump in!

As soon as I saw this tour I immediately felt at ease. It’s warm, neutral, layered, worn-in, and clearly loved as the family who lives here designed and renovated it together. Not only is the story of this family’s journey in finding this home really cool but the home is “filled with mostly second hand pieces they’ve inherited, thrifted, reupholstered, or bought off Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace.” For those who don’t know, Gumtree is basically an Australian Craigslist.

Even most of the wood was salvaged like in this beautiful kitchen. The home feels like a soft breeze to look at so I highly recommend checking out the rest of the photos. Fun Fact: They have an Airbnb on the property too with another on the way! Whenever we can travel again boy this would be a beautiful place to go.

To be honest, I’m not 100% on barn doors. They can be great but it has to be the right house. Now, this isn’t exactly a house but instead a converted stable/”family-friendly zone” which means it nearly requires a barn door and they nailed it with this one. How easily I’m persuaded:) I LOVE the soft grayish-green color Sanders & King used that so beautiful works with the rug and coffee table. It’s just so freaking chic and modern, yet soft and cozy.

And I will never not love a statement stove. Can you handle that electric blue beauty? It’s the perfect unexpected pop to this otherwise very neutral kitchen. I think we can all say that this is one of the most (if not THE most) luxuriously converted stable we’ve ever seen.

Now let’s talk about the king of color… Dabito. You may remember his insanely good bright yellow dining room from a few years ago. Well now he and his partner are bi-coastal (New Orleans and LA) and this is their new NOLA home! Like he said in his post, he made sure to properly mix both vintage and new so that the space didn’t feel too eclectic or too modern (and without soul).
design and photo by dabito
The good news for all of us is that he worked with Crate and Barrel so a bunch of what you see you can buy! But the real question is where can I find that vintage white wicker floor lamp?? Oh, I would like to note that the rug style he used is very similar to one in a reveal later in the post… 2021 trend??

This design by Studio Giancarlo Valle is riiiiight up my alley. That green sofa is holding my heart tight. If you remember this NY loft they designed, then this wavy look is not new to you. But I have to say that I’m not over it yet. I think it’s chic and weird which I love together. Also, the extra thick shelves look so cool!
design by giancarlo valle | photo by stephen kent johnson
This is clearly a very minimalist design but with the boldness of the architecture and colors/tones used it still looks so interesting to me. Thoughts?
design by beth diana smith | photo by mike van tassell
Beth Diana Smith was one of ORC’s feature designers this past season and she really knocked it out of the park by redesigning practically her entire first floor. What I think I love most is how approachable yet elevated this kitchen is. Like how she used textured subway tiles, placed them horizontally all the way up to the ceiling, and installed those semi-thick white open shelves. But then kept her cabinets (lowers) and appliances the same and switching out the hardware. So good.

Then you go over to the living room and it’s so colorful and bold and full of so much personality. If you look at the befores you will be shocked by the transformation. She did such a truly beautiful job.
design by beata heuman | photo by simon brown
It’s probably no surprise that Beata Heuman is on this list because she is an EHD favorite. I don’t think we’ve seen a space she’s designed and not fallen head over heels. This space is no exception. The pattern and color play in this house is off the charts so please enjoy.
design by beata heuman | photo by simon brown
Also I 100% need that wicker urn. I think I’m seeing a wicker pattern…
design by mikel welch
Mickel Welch has such an effortlessly calm and chic style and this room he designed is just that. I am very into this wall color. It’s both light and yet still the perfect amount of “moody” which works so great in a bedroom. I also really love the leaning art moment on the headboard.
design by mikel welch
From this angle, you can see the whole view of the room and how much texture he put into this space. And yet, it’s still so soothing (that’s what we like to call color palette magic:))
design by sarah shinners | photo by dylan james | via the design files
I was just introduced to Sarah via The Design Files I think maybe two weeks ago? Anyway, I’m now a big fan. She works for the incredibly talented Simone Haag as her Design Manager and after seeing her rental I am not in the least bit surprised.
design by sarah shinners | photo by dylan james | via the design files
The space is incredibly eclectic but she makes sure to include these bold modern moments that really make the space stand out. Also, you can just tell that every piece has a story which is really why I think the space is so wonderful.
I also want to call out her bedroom wall color choice. It’s such a pretty warm tan that I think we will definitely be seeing more of in 2021. I also hope we see a lot more of that lamp/nightstand because it’s amazing. Here are even more photos!
design by stacey-ann blake | photo by lea hartman | via domino
Want to laugh? In my head, I considered my old apartment colorful. I wouldn’t say it was bold but I was proud of the amount of color I added….I’ll wait…I know it’s hysterical. I clearly need to reevaluate what “a colorful home” means because y’all THIS is a colorful home. What I love most about it is the clear joy that is emanating from these rooms! Stacey-Ann Blake has made a masterpiece with design choices.
design by stacey-ann blake | photo by lea hartman | via domino
What is additionally awesome about these spaces is that their brightness is softened by the fact that they are so well balanced, which makes them welcoming instead of overwhelming. Also, Stacey-Ann is a mother of three and I can only imagine how fun and inspiring it must be growing up around so many colors.
design by arent & pyke | photo by anson smart
This is Arent & Pyke’s newest project! I have been personally waiting on this for so long. Remember this home or this home? They truly create magic.
So while this home isn’t 100% my personal style, there are so many details I am oogling over. First up are that dresser and table lamp. I love the vintage (or vintage-inspired) base paired with the modern and contrasting shade. It looks amazing and I want to somehow get something similar for my new apartment. I also loooove that dresser. The bentwood handle detail is so so special and unique.
design by arent & pyke | photo by anson smart
But what really made my heart skip a beat was that curtain trim detail. Can you tell I also love a modern wave? I think it makes such a cool statement and I might try to figure out how to implement it into my apartment design too. Arent, Pyke & Bunge??
design by ysg studio | styled by felicity ng | photo by prue ruscoe
First off this home is really making a case for purple which is a big feat in my opinion. Second, this space is all about textured permanent materials and let’s just say it works. Everything from the brick floors to the limewash (?) walls to the multi-material island. This very modern space feels warm and makes your eyes bounce around because YSG Studio created such a flawless design.
design by ysg studio | styled by felicity ng | photo by prue ruscoe
While I know not everyone would be ready to move into this type of home, it’s undeniable that it’s incredibly special. Make sure to check out the other rooms!
design and photo by ajai guyot
Ok, so I know Ajai is one of our beloved contributors but our contributors also don’t post all of their projects on our site because well, they have sites of their own! But I wanted to make sure that everyone got to see her beautiful living room reveal in her new apartment.
design and photo by ajai guyot
It looks like what I would imagine a soft cloud to look like. So delicate, cozy and pretty. I love how she expertly achieved what she describes as “coastal Parisian.”
design by kex design build | photo by jacqueline marque | via apartment therapy
Another beautiful reveal in New Orleans! KV Harper, founder of Kex Design Build designed this awesome rustic, luxe home that is spilling over with character and soul. I just love the contrast of those beautiful fireplaces and the jewel-toned velvet seating.
design by kex design build | photo by jacqueline marque | via apartment therapy
Then in the kitchen, I can’t stop starring at that dark green tiled backsplash and black cabinet combo. It’s so rich and bold but then balanced/softened by the salvaged wood shelves, white walls, and warm wood countertop. I think it’s just so pretty.
design by frederick tang architecture | photo by gieves anderson | via remodelista
What is my favorite thing about this kitchen/house by Frederick Tang Architecture? It’s those midcentury modern sliding cabinets. Their slender profile looks so good. Plus I truly can’t believe how into dark wood kitchens I’ve become. They just make me happy now.
design by frederick tang architecture | photo by gieves anderson | via remodelista
Now the rest of the house definitely has midcentury modern nods throughout but veers off in some of the other rooms. You have to check out the very colorful and playful bathroom:)
design by home studios | photo by brian ferry | via dezeen
I wanted to end on this extremely cool yet serene reveal. This one you might have seen in a couple of publications but it’s too special to not include. I can’t get over all of the curves, arches, and different uses of tan/brown.
design by home studios | photo by brian ferry | via dezeen
To be honest, this feels very much of the 2020 moment, like an upgraded ’80s vibe. But the lack of potential timelessness doesn’t take away from the special and unique details like the wood and copper bar framing the shower glass. I could seriously look at that photo for a very long time. Go see the rest of the space here.
Phew! We made it to the end. So any favorites? What are your top details (details are my favorite)? Are there any home tours or reveals that I didn’t include that you’ve fallen hard for recently? Let’s chat!
Love you, mean it.
