We’re big fans of Los Angeles-based artist Esther Pearl Watson and have been following her work for years. In fact, one of her paintings takes pride of place on a wall at BoutiqueHomes headquarters in Topanga. Often described as “faux naive”, much of her art recalls a childhood in rural Texas where her space-race-obsessed father […]
Warm up to these BoutiqueHomes with heavenly hearths. THE NOOQ, WHITEFISH, MONTANA What a design feat: rather than obstructing this snow globe of a view, this graceful fireplace enhances it.

If balance is the key to a healthy and full life, then even the most intrepid travelers should come to a point where not going anywhere appeals most. Jeremy and Erle, owners of WonderINN Mirrored Glass Cabin in the quiet nature reserve of Nordre Øyeren just 25 minutes from Oslo, can relate. After years of […]

Pick a color… and go! Colorful spaces on BoutiqueHomes. LA TROPICAL VILLA, YUCATAN, MEXICO When the owners of this villa in Mérida were property hunting, they would look through old doorways or windows to see what lay beyond. And in bringing this space to life, that was their inspiration – creating a world within a […]
Perhaps the most iconic art piece created by the 20-years-plus conceptual artist duo Sofie Lachaert and Luc Dhanis, is one of two intertwining chairs. At times, the bench-of-sorts can be found inside the Flanders Art Suite, in Tielrode, Belgium. Other times, it’s traveling (recently it visited Gallery Fumi in Mayfair, Galerie Zink in Waldkirchen, Germany.) […]

When we discovered that London-based designer Charlotte Taylor was visiting Trullo di Luna, one of a cluster of trulli in Italy’s Itria Valley, we had to find out what she thought of it. For the uninitiated, trulli are dry-stone huts with conical roofs, unique to Puglia where they were traditionally used as agricultural dwellings or […]

Etched in many of our minds is the inside of New York City’s Time-Life building; albeit, few of us have ever set foot there. All that glass, all that light, the dark wood desks, and swivel chairs – we know it if we’ve seen AMC’s “Mad Men,” where the show was set. The architect and […]

Island House was created as a place to showcase design in a remarkable island setting. The setting in question, Lord Howe Island, a crescent-shaped volcanic outcrop in the Tasman Sea, is certainly remarkable. And it’s just about as remote as you can imagine.
