Project by: Moss Design
Location: Lakeview, Chicago

Matt shares the story behind Moss Design's work on this project: We gave this home a natural-light focused overhaul, which not only makes the space more beautiful, but creates the opportunity for reduced electrical lighting - which is kinder to the planet. We echo this theme in our choice of flooring, where we laid down reclaimed shipping crates to create a unique and eye-catching floor and staircase.

Name: Ross Weiner and his dog, Jak
Location: Midtown West, Manhattan, New York
Size: 1,000 square feet
Years lived in: 1 year; own

Walking into Ross's Midtown apartment, a visitor is immediately struck by a sense of space as well as style. For a 1,000 square foot apartment, the rooms all feel so light, airy and spacious. It is no accident that the space takes on this quality. Ross, being a creative person, one with clear vision for aesthetic and layout, took an existing space and over the span of only 5 months transformed it by removing walls and brightening it with paint, well proportioned furniture and playful accents.

The clear glass desk is a perfect solution for the small space home office. For starters, it practically disappears from the eye line, keeping the room from appearing overstuffed with furniture.

Visiting a show house is kind of like going to a fashion show. The designs are a little over the top and you can't afford a single thing, but it's a great place to look for inspiration that can trickle down to your own home. As I made my way through the CS Interiors Anniversary Home, with rooms designed by 6 leading interior designers, I found a number of inspiring features. More
