When I first spotted this home, designed by Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, I felt it perfectly captured that easy summer vibe we all crave at this time of year. Cool white furnishings accented with oversized arrangements of foliage and classic summer textiles like linen and seagrass – it’s like a little sun-dappled picnic spot.
But look a little closer and it turns out this space is the perfect year-round home. Take away the fresh green accents and you have a completely neutral, yet highly imaginative, interior that can be styled differently for every season. I love the use of classic black and white throughout this home – in just the right doses.
White is used to blend in storage while black denotes key decorative pieces, feature surfaces, or this stunning kitchen island.
This space has a mid-century feel tempered with antiques, such as the French glass bottles, contemporary and eco-inspired furnishings, like the kirei board cabinets below.
It’s like a modern day treehouse! Perfect for a summer’s day – or a winter evening.

Havanahyde – I’m afraid I don’t know the source. You could try contacting JHID through her website though.
