At Home with Shonda Rhimes

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.”

Kitchen inspiration by interior designer Emily Henderson

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.
