Architects are known for taking forever when it comes to finishing their own places. Not so Arthur Verraes of Atelier Avondzon. With his partner, Kelly Desmet, a corporate lawyer, he tackled a total makeover of a moldering row house in Ghent that had been sitting on the market for months. The couple

Welcome to Psst, where each month the Remodelista and Gardenista editors share an inside look at what we’ve been reading, watching, coveting, pinning, visiting, and otherwise loving lately. Without further ado, a glimpse of what we’ve been up to in September: Photographs by editors, except where not

Ahead this first official weekend of fall? Iconic kitchens on view, earthy colors for your cool-weather consideration, and bundles of flowers for all. Read on: Above: Snapshot, and bedside inspiration, from Design Travel: Hotel Wren in Twentynine Palms. The making of the modern cook space: “The Kitc

Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: Since our early days, when Remodelista began around Julie’s kitchen table, our editors have reported in, for the most part, from home. Over the past two decades, we’ve

There are small spaces, and then there are really small spaces. The apartment of Craig Ross and his partner, Jessie, falls into the latter category. At just under 400-square feet, their flat in Kentish Town, north London, on the first floor of a Victorian townhouse, has just three rooms—which means

What are the Gardenista editors up to these first days of fall? Finding ways to stretch the hours in the garden longer, longer, longer. Here, a few favorite ways to keep living (comfortably) outside in September and beyond: Above: “Currently dreaming of adding a sweet Bonni outbuilding to my garden,

What’s the skinny on this appealing, slightly-wonky-yet-charming candle holder spotted in Italian Lessons: Cenerentola Chianti, a Family House Reconsidered?

Elisabeth and Dennis Dunker classify their apartment in Gothenburg, Sweden, as something of a compromise: it’s a rental so “a lot of it isn’t what we would have chosen,” says Elisabeth, who, nonetheless, turned it into a lovely place to hang your hat: see Making a Rental Your Own. A designer, artist

Can you feel it? With the equinox on September 22, the expansiveness of summer tilts into hunkering season. In California and on the Cape, in the Bronx and in Maine, R/G editors are prepping our own houses (and apartments) for cooler, slower days. You too? We asked a longtime favorite, Paris-based T

On deck this weekend? An LA exhibit, a great new spot to lay your head on the Cape, and much more in between. Read on: Above: Fall has us craving fresh-looking interiors. Case in point: this week’s The Architect at Home: Saba Ghorbanlinejad’s Compact Paris Apartment. Photography by Mary Gaudin for S

Architect Saba Ghorbanalinejad is particularly good at undoing a floor plan. In the projects of hers we’ve featured previously, the most consequential changes have often been reconfiguration: rooms are rearranged around central hubs, passages become places in their own right, and compact interiors b

Eatco’s kitchen tools don’t claim to perform miracles. What they do is finesse everyday tasks, from slicing avocados to spreading butter on toast. We discovered the Japanese collection at the New York design show Shoppe Object and admired its economy of line and material—each piece is made of stainl

Leave it to Copenhagen It couple Frederik Bille Brahe (chef) and Caroline Brasch Nielsen (model/designer) to remind us that a silver-tipped lightbulb can transform an otherwise ho-hum fixture into a design detail worth emulating.

It’s natural to be influenced by your travels and to pepper your home with interior souvenirs. For instance, after vacationing in the Southwest one year, I became enamored with desert style and promptly picked up a few potted succulents, a Cosanti wind bell, and a couple throw pillows in that peach-

By the end of my second trip to Hudson, NY, I had already bought a property, planted my dream garden, opened a small neighborhood bar, and settled into a simpler life upstate—in my head, that is.  My first visit to Hudson was last November, two days after a massive windstorm had swept through the Hu

Rivka Baake and Wilfrid Kreutz’s story is a tale of romance, creative collaboration, and the power of social media. The two met 18 years ago at an art opening in Frankfurt, where Wilfrid trained as a silversmith and Rivka, then a single mother of two young kids, was working at a children’s art schoo

Power your devices—and give yourself a jolt of satisfaction—with these well-designed chargers and charging ports.
