Size: 1,100 square feet
Years lived in: 2 years (Matt), 7 months (Andy); Rent

I first visited Matt's Eclectic Park Avenue Pad in Raleigh, North Carolina back in October of 2011. At the time I was completely blown away by his ability to turn his 1901 duplex rental into a visually stunning respite filled with a hodgepodge of hand-painted art, vintage furniture, and personal photographs. His unique Art Deco and Mid Century finds blended effortlessly with the space's 100-year-old wood floors and glass doorknobs.

I recently introduced you to Madame Ganna Walska and Lotusland, the dream garden she created in California. As I've been thinking about my 2013 garden plans and resolutions, I keep coming back to my virtual visit to Lotusland and how this might be influencing some of my design decisions this year. More

Name: Cory Andreen
Location: Mainzerstraße, Berlin-Neukölln
Size: 240 square meters/2,583 square feet
Years lived in: 2.5 years, rented

Cory Andreen's large, shared loft in the Neukölln district of Berlin is at the top of what was originally a chemical factory during World War I. Though now a fully residential building, the space maintains its rugged industrial elements in its utilitarian flooring (sheets of glazed plywood), the large metal beam bisecting the main living space, and the industrial strength steel doors.

India Shannon has a crush on color. One stroll through her web shop, Apt528, makes that very clear. In addition to an eye for color, India can also spot a quality mid-century piece from a mile away, a knack that benefits anyone browsing her store.

If you would like to be temporarily transported out of the doldrums of winter, then let me introduce you to Lotusland. While I haven't been there in person, I became acquainted with this spectacular garden last year in the Martha Stewart Living March issue, and it has been on my list of gardens to visit ever since. Lotusland is 37 acres with 17 gardens, all nestled in California's swank Montecito. While the grounds are quite impressive, to truly understand the gardens, you should first become acquainted with the garden's creator, Madame Ganna Walska. More

Project by: Jill Danyelle: Art & Design
Location: Upper West Side, NYC

Jill tells us about her work on this home: I really enjoy getting to know my clients and creating a space that speaks not only to their functional needs, but also feels like their home when they walk in the door. This apartment is a one bedroom in a co-op building on West End Ave. The vibe for the space was a mix of classic, more traditional pieces combined with some rustic and Old World Spanish notes.
