FIRST ROW
• 1 We can't seem to get enough yellow these days! We love the use of the lucite table which allows the rug to get as much attention as the large scale painting.
• 2 We're fairly used to the sight of acid green in modern design, but it's fresh and unexpected in this very trad room.
• 3 Matching upholstery and wall coverings have made a big come back in recent years with the re-obsession with wallpaper. In this serene reading corner, it gives the gorgeous still life center stage.
• 4 Is there a color that aqua doesn't bring to life? We're hard pressed to find an example where this refreshing hue doesn't transform even the heaviest color to upbeat. vibrancy. We love the combo of aqua and red in this cozy traditional sitting room.
• 5 Near perfect symmetry and classic furnishings are lightened up with punches of bright green.
SECOND ROW
• 6 Another stunning example of black and white done right. The white drawers and clack frame give the traditional bureau an edgy vibe.
• 7 All this kitchen needs is a Martha.
• 8 What could have been your standard bland bedroom is transformed with a variety of takes on the classic trellis pattern. The swathe of silvery blues make even all the ornamentation seem soothing.
• 9We love when hallways are turned into places of interest and personality with gallery displays.
• 10 A glimpse into Tobi's preppy home office. Apple green and Easter egg pink is a combo that I'll never quite get over—spring to a T.

Her style reminds of KWID, with a more updated, less been-there-done-that feel.

Wow I love yellow! I need that painting from the first image. The mix of modern and traditional here is inspiring. To me ultra modern, no matter how high-end, tends to look a little unsophisticated. Tobi has a very chic design aesthetic. I love the mix of modern and traditional.

If I had to pick a favorite....I guess it would have to be the bedroom. Everything in there is so soothing and elegant. I'm also glad to see more and more white kitchens coming up.
