Like most people, we're focused on future travels as a mental escape – scheming about when we'll get to rent a tranquil house on the Cape with all our friends, visit our favorite beaches on Long Island, or the exact route we'll tackle when revisiting our most treasured LA haunts. Part of this mental travel is looking at homes that inspire us to think beyond New England – in doing so, we discovered this globally-inspired home in Newton by Lindsay Bentis of Thread Design Studio (if you haven't stumbled her design expertise yet, we recommend a catchup). We can't wait to share this tour with you.

This week we wanted to give you a tour of the LTK Interiors project that was featured by Arch Digest earlier this month. It's a classic Beacon Hill Carriage House that was transformed into a multi-dimensional, stylistically layered interior created by taking advantage of its unique carriage house physicalities. Our carriage house was designed to capture the essence of a functional carriage house, combined with an industrial feel and a sense of Europe and the Middle East, which are areas that we travel to very often," the owners note.

Lisa Kreiling of LTK is one of our favorites in the Boston design scene, working on residential dreamscapes under her name since 2009. She infuses her work with a laidback sophistication

With the current state of the world, we're trying to uphold positivity in all forms – inspiration for spending a little more time inside, distraction with our favorite elaborate recipes or small luxuries, and taking plenty of walks for that vitamin D.

Since we've postponed our Boston Design Week event until Summer 2020, we wanted to grant a breath of fresh air to our readers with an exclusive tour of our collaboration with Cape Cod Modern House Trust and Gus* Modern.

We worked with Gus* to provide pieces for two Wellfleet homes restored by CCMHT. In case you're unfamiliar with their work, CCMHT

Interieur: The Interiors Series is back again with another installment focusing on 10 questions with people we respect from the worlds of design, food, retail, and everything in between.

For this conversation, we sat down with Anna Rossi, the effervescent face of NBC Boston's The Hub Today. Besides the innate charisma she brings to our screens, she's also a national food writer, chef, and was a finalist on MasterChef USA Season 3 (what can't she do!). Anna grew up in the Pacific Northwest but has been on our coast for so long that her New England sensibility is natural and genuine, just like her love

For the past couple of years when the weather gets warmer, Carl Hansen and Son emerges with some outdoor companions that have us rethink the ways that furniture can live outdoors. Building off of the warmth of the Bodil Kjær series launched last year, this spring season is no exception as CH brings us designer revivals made from sustainably-sourced teak to live amongst our gardens or patios. New England Winter? Don't know her! Summer, we're skipping spring and coming for you.

A project we have for you this week is none other than the opening of another store in the Goop empire, further solidifying their hat in the experiential retail ring. It's always a pleasure to watch Ronen Lev's work and even cooler when it's for a brand we all enjoy. This time Goop's storefront presence is taking on the Bay Area in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood.

And the masterminds behind this new space, Ronen Lev, are two women who want to make design accessible

This week we're beyond excited to launch a profile series to dive deeper with Boston's lifestyle leaders into what design means to them from their professional spaces to their personal ones. Drumroll please, it's called Interieur: The Interior Series!

Interieur meaning interior or within in Dutch, we're focusing on 10 questions with people we respect from the worlds of design, food, retail, and everything in between. For our first conversation we sat down with restaurateur extraordinaire and founder of the Sidell Hospitality Group, Kathy Sidell. Kathy is behind some of Boston's most iconic restaurant spaces like Saltie Girl and Met Back Bay, and an expert on building local brands. Growing up in

In honor of Halloween week we have been eating up dark interiors and industrial architecture, basically obsessing over anywhere a design-forward ghost could haunt until the end of time. Thanks to this Dezeen article we stumbled upon a project that we knew you'd all love for more than just its eerie history. The downtown Portland building where the project is housed was constructed in 1927 but had been abandoned for many years before the incredibly cool JHL Design got their hands on it. JHL Design is an all-women and family-owned design studio and based out of Portland, OR and we couldn't be happier to share their work with you all.

The chill is here, folks! Some welcome the briskness by layering with their favorite camel coats but here at Lekker we're welcoming the fresh air by bringing out the trusty fireside companions. We head into every holiday season focusing on and sourcing designs that will bring ritual, comfort, and warmth to our spaces as we spend more time inside.

A year round staple that creates those moments of warmth and togetherness is a fireside brand dear to our hearts called Eldvarm. You may have seen Eldvarm on the blog last year when we spotlighted niche gifts that hailed from all our nordic friends + they were also featured in this month's issue of Oprah Mag, which made our lives.
