Homes I Love: English and French in Brooklyn

Owners: Vogue contributing editor Miranda Brooks and her husband architect Bastien Halard (nephew of photographer Francois Halard).
Why I love it: Aside from the English-cottage-meets-French style with a modern twist, what I really love is just how happy it feels, like there is real joyful living going on in all the rooms. It doesn’t look like anyone else’s home; it’s very personal and very original.










I find this house so, so inspiring!

What a beautiful home! The top image is so inviting. I can just imagine endless cups of coffee and reading in that space.
luv luv luv. especially that “gardener’s shed”. to die for.
Thanks for sharing these photos – Vogue always squishes them onto the pages of their printed magazine, which is what I read. So nice to see them bigger – I can really appreciate how truly AWESOME this house is. Wonder if they would notice if I moved in?!
Or if both of us did?
Just love this Ally, very inspiring.
That tree mural is amazing!!
Gorgeous!
While the house is stylish, it’s still a home. It doesn’t look like a showroom but a place where a family lives. Love it.
I’ve seen this house before and I love their style . It’s refined but liveable. Iris
Hubba Hubba….this house is amazing!
