i had always thought of myself as a well-travelled gal. however, when it comes to the eastern united states i have visited very little. this beautiful bungalow, has me thinking i need to get to montauk. i had been perusing clever and started reading about the sweetest couple, robert and kate (owners of the mckinley bungalow) and their love for one another and this whole montauk place and i knew i needed to go.

robert mckinley owns a studio that specializes in interior design, branding, and creative direction…which is obvious when laying eyes upon this magical home. robert’s studio is also responsible for the interiors of ruschmeyer’s and the surf lodge, which are also located in montauk. often times when i am set to plan a vacation, lodging is something i have to take into consideration, which leads to a lengthy search. in the case of montauk, it seems that i have a few places to choose from thanks to studio robert mckinley.

i absolutely love this late edwardian house in southwest london. in my mind, it seems as if this home has always been this way. i cannot imagine someone taking the time to design or curate it. effortless, is how it appears to me.

i had always wanted to be someone that could trash or give away all that i have and start over. after all new (or new to me) is best right? this space has me thinking the opposite. each piece of furniture, art, and design element seems to had been there from the start or lovingly added through the years. homes that incorporate this type of thoughtful design keep popping up in my feeds and i find myself gravitating towards them more and more.

as always, linger on this post for more than a bit…take in each room and challenge yourself to to find something you adore in each photograph.
