“In 2021, we bought the childhood home of David and Amy and Tiffany and Lisa and Gretchen and Paul Sedaris. We had no idea we were buying their home until the offer was accepted and months of heartache and repeatedly missing out on “the home of our dreams” suddenly evaporated in the sweetest way possible. Having grown up a Greek-American in Raleigh in the 80s and 90s, reading David’s books made me feel like my siblings and I knew this family.  I think that’s the magic of his writing for so many of us. So when we bought this house, it felt important to do right by a family I admired so much and  show people the place that inspired some of their all time favorite essays.”

Bright and colourful, fresh and fun. A fitting tribute to the family who grew up there. Sedaris House by Yasu Home.

A newly constructed home in Iowa but made to look like it holds some history. And like it’s actually located in the Cotswolds. So easy on the eyes, and some dark drama where it easily works (like utility type rooms and office). Soft and serene, cozy and casual. Designed by Oho Interiors. Photos: Judith Marilyn.

Perched on a cliff with 180-degree views of Vancouver’s Indian Arm, the location of this home is second to none. Inside, a previous renovation (sometime in the heyday of the “crown moldings and orange pine” 1990s) had covered up a lot of the home’s original charm and character. Taking inspiration from the ’70s when the house was first built, we leaned into that decade and how it might blend with the homeowner’s Japanese heritage, as well as the site’s West Coast surroundings. What followed was part restoration, part exploration—a process that led us to a new home that feels uniquely special and personal to the family who first spied its true potential.
This house takes mid-century modern to a whole other level. This is SO COOL and I love that the new design mimics much of what was there before (I had to include a couple before photos) but making it 100 times better. The living room with those curved windows (and epic views), and the new sofa fit around them with the modernized floating fireplace is to die for. Deep Cove designed by Plaid Fox.
