Country Home in Australia

Today, we are going to Australia to visit Alice Barker and her husband Daniel's cottage, built around 1910 and located in Ballarat, Australia’s largest inland city.

Ceramics they bought in Morocco, Turkey and Thailand can be seen displayed in many of the rooms. Blue-and-white china jars and bowls are grouped on a hall table and on the kitchen mantel, while the dining room dresser displays floral patterned teacups and colourful Moroccan pottery. The fireplaces are original.

Alice and Daniel are both keen photographers. In the sitting room, vintage black-and-white photographs share the walls with images from their travels. One of Alice’s treasures, an old Kodak Brownie camera, is displayed on the mantel beside reproduction copies of 1920s postcards from Egypt on a wire stand.

Cottage in Cape Ferret

A retired couple, wanting to escape the hectic life in Bordeaux, moved to this colonial style house in Cape Ferret, a headland located at the south end of the department of Gironde, in France. The interiors are a mixture of French and New England cottage styles. So relaxing and dreamy.

Cottage in Michigan

Chicago-based interior designer Tom Stringer was appointed to create this kid-friendly cottage
located in Harbor Springs, Michigan. Owner Sheila Keil says: "This house is really a place where we can all be kids again. It's like being at a year-round summer camp."

Victoria Hagan fabric was used for the armchairs and pillows in the living room.

Drawers under the back stairway add storage.


In the family room, colourful framed travel posters hang above a "double-wide" sofa-custom made for family movie nights.


Stair rails with quirky positive-negative, tulip-shaped cutouts are "a traditional cottage detail, reinterpreted," says Stringer.
