This is quite the modern, glamorous penthouse in Chicago, architected and designed by the incredibly talented Kara Mann. But the pièce de résistance is that bathroom. DAMN GIRL will you look at that marble!!!!

When unexpected styles collide. A fabulous home designed by Seattle-based Brio Interior Design. A 1940’s home where the client’s mother spent her teenage years was purchased from the grandfather’s estate shortly after his passing. The purchase and renovation were a way to reinvent history by making an old home new again for the young family who decided the house carried too many precious memories to be sold to the next highest bidder. Perched atop a generously sized waterfront lot in north Seattle with panoramic views of the Puget Sound, the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic mountain range, the aesthetic of the home is classic meets modern and eclectic. It’s fun, colorful and whimsical. Perfect for a family that dines most days together in a formal dining room around a table that family members have gathered at for decades to celebrate the best things in life.

I don’t typically use an adjective like ‘pretty’ to describe a kitchen but it’s the first word that came to mind when I saw this space designed by San Francisco and Portland based Caitlin Wilson. Marble subway tile, mostly white cabinets, brass, pastel accents…I can’t help it. SO PRETTY! 

This ranch-style home in East Hampton, NY is about as bold as it gets, as it usually goes when interior designer and art curator Maria Brito gets her way. Patterns and strong colours are in abundance with some funky wallpapers and of course, some fabulous art. (P.S.
