Weekly Wrap-Up: English Accent

Remodelista and Gardenista looked across the pond for inspiration this week—to the land of high tea and high style, England. We were especially taken with the expert millwork on that side of the Atlantic; storage built-ins have never looked so refined. Here’s a sampling:

Roupell Street, London Georgian house via The Modern House, Fraher Architects — Above: A terrace house in London looks unremarkable from the outside, but on the inside? Incredible custom millwork throughout the home, including this cubbies-and-desk unit in the living room. See A Rescued Georgian in a ‘Time-Capsule Enclave’ in the Center of London.

Holt Norfolk Cold Press Gallery Listing from the Modern House — Above: Remodelista featured Cold Press Gallery, housed in a former Methodist hall from the 1800s, when it first opened its doors in 2012. Now, six years later, it’s on the market—and its design still feels as fresh as ever. See Upstairs-Downstairs Living in a Historical Building in Norfolk. Photograph courtesy of The Modern House.
