By the time architect Louis Hagen Hall got his hands on a late-Georgian terrace house in North London, “any historical aspect of the interior was somewhat lost,” he says. The lack of original features (aside from the fireplaces, floorboards, and paneling, which he restored) emboldened him to infuse

If you, like me, were thoroughly charmed by Samin Nosrat’s whole-face smile and bottomless curiosity in her 2018 Netflix series Salt Fat Acid Heat, you’ll be delighted to discover that her home kitchen in Oakland, CA, is as warm and joyful and unpretentious as she is.

The freshest bath I’ve seen in a long while belongs to a few lucky kids living in a redone house in London.

In East London’s Hackney neighborhood, a late-19th-century terrace sat empty for more than two decades. “It was as though aliens had come down and taken the occupants away,” says designer Sophie Rowell of Côte de Folk.

Dungeness, on England’s south coast, is an almost impossible idea, the kind of place that could only be concocted by the British. Although it is a desirable destination, with the likes of Ed Sheeran buying property here, it is not “posh” exactly. Most of the houses are converted railway carriages or

I grew up in a roomy, shingled house outside of Boston, but come summer, the five of us migrated to our screened porch.
