Handpicked this week - January 28

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 design. 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

Ooooooooooh Emma Milne UK ! She is speaking my love language of incorporating old and new - I can't even with the old books next to the modern oak floors! I absolutely love the layering of textures; her attention to the individual qualities of various surfaces, especially woods, gives each space so much depth. The addition of tactile textiles - linen, velvets - makes her spaces feel timeless and comfortable.

Take a look through her Instagram and let me know your favorites!

2) Handpicked: REAL ESTATE

I almost passed out when I saw this historic house in Somerville. I need it. In fact, I was going to feature another listing this week until I was stopped in my tracks. The shingles! The diamond windows! The butler's pantry. I could go on... The George Loring house was built for George Loring, the architect who designed it.

I'm keeping my eye on this one. It just might have to be my first foray into development (here's hoping the price comes down!). Or, one of YOU can buy it as I would love to return it to glory!

3) Handpicked: STYLE

I hope you haven't forgotten my pro tip on Australian fashion! Since they're in the Southern Hemisphere, their spring/summer collections go on sale just in time for spring stateside. I am obsessed with Oroton and their caftan-chic style. Each piece has an opinion and the colors are beyond. Lilac with melon? Yes please.

All their pieces can be dressed up or down, and I just can't get enough of the high-contrast wrap belts! Also, they're great for transitional seasons - add tights, boots and a cardi and you're all set.

That's all from our team this week - can't wait until next week!
