Some stays whisper. The Cottages at Little Saint sing.
Tucked just behind Little Saint, a restaurant and events venue in downtown Healdsburg, California, the Cottages at Little Saint feel like a love letter to Laurel Canyon, rewritten for wine country.
Designed by Ken Fulk, the four cottages are color-drenched and unapologetically whimsical. Hand-painted checkerboard floors, vintage-inspired wallpaper, aged brass fixtures and trompe l’oeil armoires create spaces that feel layered and lived-in.
Every room tells its own story, right down to the vinyl collection, with nods to Joni Mitchell and The Rolling Stones, and a late 1960s and ’70s creative energy when art, music and community blurred together.
The trend at play here is intentional eclecticism. Little Saint lands in the sweet spot, mixing nostalgia and modern comfort. It feels collected over time. Design is shifting away from perfection toward spaces that feel broken-in.
Custom bath products from local makers, vinyl waiting to be spun and front porches built for lingering reinforce the idea that good design should support how we actually live, gather and slow down.
