Welcome to my Handpicked by Milk and Honey Group newsletter. For new subscribers, in this weekly newsletter, I share my top picks for the week - trends or particularly noteworthy designs. Each week I share an interior, a real estate listing, and a style item that I think is special. I hope you'll let me know what you think!
1] Handpicked: INTERIOR
With offices in Montecito and Pasadena, House of Honey's mission is to "design houses where life is celebrated." How wonderful is that? And, they seem to love pink, and of course, honey, so definitely give them a look. Their firm is self-defined as a "female collective" and their use of color is unapologetic, bold and playful but also very sophisticated.
They clearly love lighting as much as I do - so many inspiring pieces to add to my Pinterest board. Which project is your favorite?
2) Handpicked: REAL ESTATE
The house I'm featuring this week - 41 Chase Street #2 in Newton - is one really close to my heart. We completed this home in early 2022 and it was an incredible transformation of a tight space for a family of five. I'm sharing photos shot by the talented Jessica Delaney (minus the exterior image).
Many of our clients are as obsessed with houses as we are, and often they move on to a new home (and project) after finishing a major renovation. This went under contract in two days, substantially over asking! I'm delighted for my clients (now dear friends) and also excited for their next chapter!
3) Handpicked: STYLE
I am obsessed with Laurie Fisher's artwork. I love the color blocking, scale and the interesting mix of color choices as well as the textural elements. Reminiscent of Hapi Art but a little more tailored and subtle, her work is perfect for many different styles and spaces.
She has some pieces currently available in her studio - which one is your favorite?
That's all from our team this week - can't wait until next week!
