British-Argentinian interior designer James Boyd Niven didn't miss a beat when it comes to creation. The stunning South American area homes have all of us admiring his work.

From homes, luxury hotels, farmhouses, and Niven's own home, he has it covered. I was also impressed with the section on tablescapes.

PALM BEACH STYLE:The Architecture and Advocacy of John and Jan Volk

Palm Beach is, and has always been, a place that inspires elegance and architecture, a sign of paradise.  The Bermuda style with a modern hint reminds us of places far away. I must admit my favorite is the red tile roofs.

John and Jan have brought so much to this designation, including John's work in architecture and Jane's contribution to her town and the history of this heartwarming place.

Below are images I have chose for you.  ENJOY!
