Green House

The tiny fourth floor Copenhagen apartment of Thilde Santin seems a long way away from its central city location, thanks to its splendid profusion of plants. Love how she's created a peaceful green oasis in her home. More here on Bolig.

Italian Toastie
Perfect for when you just want a sandwich, but yearn for something a bit fancier and more filling than the usual. This one features mushrooms sautéed in garlic, black tapenade, provolone cheese, fresh oregano leaves and salami on good bread rolls, but it's endlessly adaptable.

Picturesque in Puglia

American-born art historian and curator Peter Benson Miller has been collecting seriously since he was 13, so it's no surprise that, many years later, he and his partner Giovanni Panebianco were beginning to find themselves squeezed out of their Rome apartment. They eventually found the perfect home in Puglia, where the hundreds of objects collected by Miller over the years can be displayed in all their glory. Stunning space. Read more about it here in T, the New York Times style magazine.

Boho in Paris

This elegant Paris apartment, home to two lawyers and their four children, is one I've featured on the blog before—but these new photos make a revisit more than worthwhile. Located in a Haussmann building in the 16th arrondissement, the space has been impeccably reorganized and styled by the Royal Roulotte studio. Love this one.

An Artist's Home

Six years ago artist Kate Tucker and her husband, Tom Crago, purchased a run-down turn of the century Edwardian house in Melbourne, needing more space with the arrival of their first child. Despite its poor condition, they could see its potential—and when they did renovate, it was with as light a hand as possible. Love the beautiful results (and artist studio in the back garden, too).
