DIY & Remodeling With Julie Carlson
We've been obsessed with the work of British-born, London-based textile designer Neisha Crosland for more than a decade now. A graduate of the textile program at the Royal College of Art, she's designed carpets for The Rug Company, surprisingly chic vinyl flooring for Harvey Maria, and wallpaper for Osborne & Little (they spotted her at her graduation show). Her recently launched tile collection for Fired Earth features her signature "geometric and symmetrical motifs inspired by architectural elements." We're on board.

Atlas

Tulia

Architecture & Interiors With Margot Guralnick
For several years now, Remodelista directory member Jonathan Tuckey of Jonathan Tuckey Design has been leading a double life. Based in London, where his firm is known for its inventive overhauls of old buildings, he's also been busy remodeling vacation houses and designing performance spaces in the historic Swiss mountain village of Andermatt, where he now has a satellite office. He and his wife, Annabel, and their two kids also have a home base in the center of town, Halbhaus (Half House), a 17th-century timber-frame chalet that Tuckey transformed into the ultimate Alpine getaway, a few English comforts included. And when they're not in residence, it's available as a vacation rental.

Above: The heart of the house is a double-height kitchen and living area. Whitened wood paneling and flooring contrasts with the dark, custom-built kitchen and gray plastered walls.

Above: Tuckey worked on the house with architect Ruedi Kreienbühl, his local collaborator. Originally the Siamese twin of its no-longer-standing next-door neighbor—the sloped, four-story structure was in good shape but low-ceilinged, dark, and spartan inside: "It had been looked after, but hadn't been updated," Tuckey told House & Garden UK, "so there was one lightbulb per room, one plug socket per room, and one bathroom the size of a dining table."
Above: Built-in settees (that can double as extra beds) surround the sitting area's woodstove. Tuckey added "a super-insulated hat" to the top of the house to ensure that it retains the heat.
Above: "We engaged with the qualities already present in the traditionally constructed house and sought to amplify them," writes Tuckey.
The chalet's furnishings are a mix of new and old, and include several pieces, such as the dining table and chairs, passed down from the previous owner. The flooring is original throughout. Photograph via Andermatt Chalet.
Above: Pressed flowers matted with kraft paper create an under-the-stairs gallery. The blanket chest came out of the attic.
Above L: A wide entryway/mudroom opens to the living area. Restored ladder-like wooden stairs connect the floors. Photograph via Andermatt Chalet. Above R: The stairs lead to what Tuckey describes as "a world of timber attic bedrooms nestling beneath the snow-covered roof." Photograph via The Modern House.
Above: The under-the-eaves master bedroom has a bed that's intentionally low to lend a more casual atmosphere. To find your own Swiss mountain chair, see Julie's Peasant Chair Roundup.
Above L: The two rooms with twin beds have a classic chalet feel. The beds here are from UK midcentury shop Modernstiks. Above R: The paneled bathroom with its claw-foot tub would be equally at home in the UK. Discover the world of black tapware in our Trend Alert post. Photographs via House & Garden UK.
Above: Halbhaus originally stood next to a house that was its mirror image, but was lost to a fire several decades ago. There's great hiking and skiing not far beyond the front door. "But you are not surrounded by thousands of other people," says Tuckey. "It's still pretty quiet here, and that's the great attraction." Photograph via Andermatt Chalet.
Above: An axonometric drawing details how the architects were able to open up the interior by creating a mezzanine level bedroom and office. The basement has a sauna and ski storage area.

Kitchens With Julie Carlson
Here's what our new favorite spoon carver has to say: "My name is Luke Hope and Hope in the Woods is my journey from an office, where I've spent most of my working life, out into the woods." Hope recently started whittling wooden spoons by hand, "working with organic material, revealing natural form, and creating and blending new lines and shape." Sculpture or utilitarian kitchen accessories? We think both.
Above: The Large Maple Spoon has a deep bowl and angled handle with a tight grain and is finished with raw linseed oil and beeswax; £70 ($107.53).
Above: The Rustic Campfire Eating Spoon with burned end handle and leather loop is £45 ($69.12).
Above: The Porcelain Coral-Edge Bowl and Walnut Spoon is £50 ($76.81).
Above: The Cosmo Cake Slice, made from dark American walnut, was inspired by Luke's sons' "love of baking"; £50 ($76.81).

We first dropped in on up-and-coming vegetarian chef, stylist, and cookbook author Anna Jones a year ago; since then, she's come out with a new cookbook and solidified her standing as the UK's "next Nigella." All from a humble kitchen in East London, proof that you don't need a lavishly appointed kitchen to create cookbook-worthy meals.
Photography by Jonathan Gooch for Remodelista.
Above: Jones at work; "My cookbooks were shot in this kitchen" she says. "We chased the best light as it changed throughout the day."
Above: The L-shaped kitchen is simple and functional; for more on this kitchen layout style, see Remodeling 101: The L-Shaped Kitchen. Instead of cabinet pulls, the plywood kitchen cabinets and drawers from Russell Bamber Works feature cutouts (see more ideas at 10 Favorites: Cutout Kitchen Cabinet Pulls). "I love the cutout handles," Anna says. "They're such a simple and clean little design tweak.
Above: A white Bialetti Moka Express Coffee Pot (available from Amara in the UK).
Above: An assortment of knives within easy reach; for sourcing ideas, see 6 Stylish Wood Knife Racks for the Kitchen.
Above: A pleasing jumble of dishes, organized by color. The yellow-rubber-dipped earthenware cups on the top shelf are by Up in the Air Somewhere.
Above: The wood dining table can seat up to 15; it came from the Ardingly Antiques Fair. The Circus Pendant by Corinna Warm casts a warm glow over the table.
Above: Anna's second book, A Modern Way to Cook, is $27.71 from Amazon in the US. In the UK, A Modern Way to Cook is £25 ($38) via Black Bough.
