Name: Brooke Location: Seattle, WA I’m a graphic designer + art director living in Seattle. I moved here a year ago from San Francisco, and found the best little loft apartment. I was working from home, so it was important to make a space I loved being in… all day long. A lot of the my stuff from San Francisco didn’t fit in my apartment (so it’s in my boyfriends equally as awesome apartment), and I bought some new pieces. I’m from Texas, so I love ranch style decor.

Name: Malene Barnett Location: Bedford-Stuyesant; Brooklyn, New York Size: 3,000 square feet Years lived in: 5 years lived in; 6 years owned One barely has to enter the home of luxury carpet designer Malene Barnett to appreciate her eclectic and refined design sensibility. Years before meeting Malene at a book launch in Soho, her home caught my eye. As a neighbor and frequent passerby, several design elements jumped out at me within the few seconds it took to ride my bike or walk past her home.
