A lovely old farmhouse in the village of Spannum, an hour outside from Amsterdam, is the home and studio of textile designer Claudy Jongstra. In this peaceful haven Claudy works with local weavers, who create fabric from the wool produced by her flock of two hundred head of sheep. Claudy then colours the hand woven fabric using dyes created from the plants grown in her garden. In her home Claudy has continued the idea of authenticity, retaining the farmhouse's original structure, livened up with contemporary touches. Love. More here on Marie Claire Maison.

Sibella Court
Sibella Court: I love old, vintage tools and cannot wait until later this year when my own decorative hardware range, designed for Anthropologie, hits the stores this Fall. But I absolutely can’t live without my Leatherman, tape measure, pencils sharpened with knives and swatch book of my 110 colours from my paint range. For reference, to shoot my books and general photo stuffs, I use my iPhone and fab Canon 5D with 24-105 lens.

Settler houses in the USA

SETTLERS HOUSE

Ship's
carpenter and Irish Canadian immigrant Thomas Morrissey constructed this tiny
cottage for his wife and (ultimately) five children in 1867. The house survived
the Holland Fire of 1871, the same day as the fires in Chicago, Illinois and
Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Restored by the Holland Museum and opened to the public in
2001, the Settlers House recalls a life of hardships faced by area settlers and
illustrates their daily lives from the wallpapers they purchased to the rubbish
they threw out the back door. The house is furnished with locally used objects
from the Holland area's settlement period of 1845-1880, objects from the
Holland Museum's extensive collection.
Hancock
was the third of 19 Shaker villages established between 1783 and 1836 on land
given by a convert to the Shakers. The village peaked with 300 people in the
1830s with six communal families. In 1960 this village became an historic site
with 20 original buildings on 1,200 acres.

Dinder House
Dinder House, a historic Georgian building in Somerset, England, is like a child’s drawing of a house: three stories high, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a slate roof. Completed in 1801 for the Rev. William Somerville (think Jane Austen), it sits on 23 acres of landscaped and walled gardens, in a valley with a Constable-worthy view of the church spire in the village after which it is named. Like many large old English houses, Dinder House was converted to commercial use (in this case by a shoe company rather than, say, a hotel) in recent times, but in 2004 it was bought by Chris and Jo Mycock, the owners of a successful I.T. company. Four years (and five architects) later, they finally moved in, once the soul of the building had been restored — as a family house, for a modern family — by the London designer Ilse Crawford.Continue reading the article and check out more images at T Magazine
