Hi Everyone!
Not being able to travel over the past year has been challenging for me. The best way that I have found to counter my desire to get on a plane and immerse myself in a new culture has been to lose myself in dreamy projects around the world. Today’s feature project is located in a country that is very high on my bucket list – Greece! 
Mykonos Home by Block722architect+ is a luxury home designed in Cycladic style of architecture. With its use of earthy materials and textures, whitewashed walls and open spaces this home is an unmistakably dreamy refuge. While currently it is only a render, once built it will blend perfectly in with the other building on the beautiful island of Mykonos. 
The natural light from the tall windows that stretch nearly the entire height of the wall give the impression of a larger space than the home really is (300m2). Bringing in a Scandinavian design influence into the interiors, the main materials used within the home are stone and timber. The use of these materials is also an intelligent design decision as they are naturally cooling which is particularly useful during the hot summer months. 
One of my favourite spaces within the home is the kitchen, with its finely latticed timber cabinetry in a washed timber paired with lime washed walls and brass details its both chic yet warm and calming.
Stone platforms are featured prominently throughout the home both inside in the living areas and within the outdoor area where they are used as day beds. The outdoor shaded area overlooks the teal tiled pool The outdoor space also features an outdoor shower along with areas to relax and entertain. The decor is kept simple yet welcoming and very zen. 
It is very easy to lose yourself in daydreams about this gorgeous space. What do you think of this home? Let me know in the comments below!
I hope that you have a beautiful day! XXS

Aside from the inspirational fashion and interior design ideas that the show provides, I love that I get to see into Jenna’s home. I first saw images and fell in love with Jenna’s home in Althena Calderone’s interior book Live Beautiful. The mix of metals and marble, textures and colours, unfinished herringbone floors and oversized crown molding are both dreamy and inspiring. Seeing glimpses of her home throughout the show just further reiterates how fabulous Jenna’s style really is. 
The elevator opens up to Jenna’s living room which is home to a gorgeous, modular pink velvet sofa. Jenna has then layered in different styles of furniture and pieces resulting in a space that is both cool girl chic and inviting. A cool feature of the space is the TV which slides out from behind the fireplace to the space between the mirror and art when in use. Genius!
The grand Venini chandelier in the kitchen is a showstopper that elevates the space. Unlacquered brass backsplashes and honed marble countertops round out the space. I never would have thought to combine all of these features but they work beautifully together. 
While I am enamoured with the entire home, the master bedroom and en suite bathroom are my absolute favourite space within the loft. I have never really been a fan of wood panelling but it works perfectly in this bedroom and when combined with a warm and textured bed cover the bedroom becomes both elegant and cozy. Floating brass bedside tables and an ornate chandelier further elevate the space. Metal and glass doors allows views from the bedroom to the luxurious bathroom that is a marble lovers (aka moi) dream. From the grand use of marble, to the herringbone floors and the brass detail, this is by far one of my most favoured bathrooms that I have seen. The unlacquered baroque style bronze vanity legs were sprayed with salt water to speed along the oxidation process resulting in a beautiful green patina that complements the other features of the bathroom. 
Last but not least, no home tour of a fashion superstar would be complete without a glimpse of the closet, and not surprisingly Jenna’s does not disappoint. Being a total shoe lover myself, it’s clear that Jenna is my spirit animal. There are about 300 pairs of shoes in there! 
Jenna Lyon’s style has always been inspirational to me and her home continues to provide further inspiration with my own living space. Her style is the perfect mood for me to be entering 2021. What do you think of this space? Let me know in the comments below.
Murphy was able to retain a lot of the original magic of the space by keeping the gorgeous crown molding and millwork throughout the home. 
Stylishly Zen
