I’ll always have a place in my heart for mid-century homes – all that wood and windows and sloped ceilings. This gem in Los Gatos, California is fabulously retro and so very cool thanks to designer Cathie Hong who created this welcoming home for herself and her family (including 4 children). I particularly love the music/guest room/playroom and that fabulous built-in storage cabinet in the most glorious olive green (Farrow & Ball’s Bancha). Photos: Margaret Austin
