Name: Lisa Bush, owner of Mona Moore, and Scott Vineberg, business designer
Location: Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, California
Size: 3,000 square feet
Years lived in: 6 years

When I first found Lisa and Scott's super cool industrial space in the hills of Topanga, I knew I just had to photograph their home. Then as we were talking, Lisa mentioned that Barbara Bestor designed the house for them. I was completely sold! It is a very modern industrial home, where the exposed steel frame becomes a kind of art and the landscape and views are a part of the design.

Come take a look inside a home and workspace built by heart and hand.

Name: Lauren and Tyler Knight (and their two daughters, due in March)
Location: Notting Hill, London, United Kingdom
Size: 800 square feet
Years lived in: 8 months; rented

Lauren and Tyler's small-but-perfectly-arranged flat in Notting Hill, West London is a testament to their love of travelling, the small pleasures of life, and most of all, each other. It might sound corny to say so (the fact that this tour was shot on Valentine's Day makes it more so), but as anyone who's a fan of Lauren's infinitely readable blog Aspiring Kennedy knows, this is a girl to whom personal relationships with her nearest and dearest are paramount, and nowhere is that more evident than in her home.

Name: Lori Andrews & Ken Corner
Location: Inner City, Calgary, Alberta
Size: 1100 square feet
Years lived in: 10 years; Owned

Change is an important element of every designer's life. The nature of growth as an artist or designer is imbedded in the changes in our work, our home, our cultural surroundings, etc. It's so interesting to me to see the lifespan of a space as its owners live and grow in their own tastes, and I'm delighted to bring you a lovely example of a home that illustrates this organic change in design perfectly.

Size: 900 square feet
Years lived in: 7 months; Rented

When Molly Turner moved to San Francisco, she wanted a location that felt like a village, and had great public transit, with fantastic dining and shopping all within walking distance. It was easy for Molly to know what she wanted in a neighborhood since she's an urban planner.

Name: Kristy Socarras Bigelow, Mitchell, Giana & Leele (Brian, a.k.a. daddy, is missing from the photos on account of his refusal to have pictures taken)
Location: Bonnie Brae, Denver, Colorado
Size: 3,500 square feet, with finished basement
Years lived in: 1 year

The bulk of my visit with Kristy and her amazing family was spent in the entryway. Upon stepping inside, the Colorado sun seemed to collect in the fabulous yellow wallpaper and dance around the silver metallic ginkgo leaves. I halfway expected a tropical breeze when I finally set foot into the living room.

Name: Corey Lynn Calter, Designer for COREY by coreylynncalter
Location: Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California
Size: 3,500 square feet
Years lived in: 7 years

I get very excited when I have the opportunity to look inside the homes of fashion designers and Corey Lynn Calter is not just another designer. Her clothes are fun, eclectic, and statement-making, and her home is no different. It doesn't hurt that she married an artist, so you'll also find plenty of modern art in their home.

Location: Meridian Hill, Washington D.C.
Size: 815 square feet
Years lived in: 1 year, 4 months; Renting

It's not easy mixing industrial and geometric graphic prints with an affinity for livestock and pastoral themes. But Alina and her boyfriend Alex seamlessly merge their many influences (his, more coastal, hers, more bohemian) with their shared love for art, history, and travel and their appreciation for four-legged species.
