“Clean and comfortable” is how I would describe this renovated, 1920s home. Though minimally accessorized, the design is far from austere. Well-chosen pieces — woven light pendants, assorted baskets, carved bowls — ooze warmth and give the home a global vibe. The design also incorporates natural tones to complement a dominant palette of white and gray. Overall, the home is a lesson in creating a comfortably modern interior within a century-old shell.

We’re heading from Philadelphia to LA with a tour of TV producer Shonda Rhimes’ villa-inspired home. After falling in love with the home’s history, she enlisted designer Michael S. Smith to restore it to its past glory while adding warmth, function, and loads of natural light. Shonda became a fan of Smith after spying his work in the Obama White House. As she writes for Architectural Digest, “That ability to connect with whatever creates sparks in a person is part of what makes Michael such a gifted designer.”

If you’re a landlord and are thinking about selling your property, this one is for you!
You have decided it’s time to sell your rental property. However, it’s still occupied, and your tenant’s lease hasn’t expired yet. Based on my extensive experience with selling rental properties in the Philadelphia metro area, my first suggestion is to wait until the tenant has moved out before listing. It makes it much easier to prepare the home for sale and eliminates any issues with showings.
‘Tis the season of gratitude, giving and of course: decorating, parties, feasts, shopping and more. But before you go down your merry, merry to do list, think about the needs of your community and all the stuff and clutter you don’t need around your home. Perhaps, you have clothing, furniture, kitchen items, or even food you have been meaning to clear out? The jolly news is charitable organizations make it even easier for you to donate your household items to assist those in need this time of year. You can make a difference, so everyone can have a joyful holiday. And, you get to rediscover the holiday joy you experienced as a child.

In her recent renovation, designer Emily Henderson shows us the simple cure for a cookie-cutter kitchen – paint! Painted cabinets can completely transform old spaces or add personality to new ones. Here, Emily chose a muted green (Sherwin-Williams Pewter Green to be exact) for this Portland home. Its contrast – opposite white marble countertops and a subway tile backsplash – creates a modern feel to an otherwise traditional kitchen.
