Name: Mo & Rachael Location: NOPA — San Francisco, California I’m a filmmaker and my wife is a private chef/nutritionist! We live in a beautiful, quintessential San Francisco Edwardian right next the Panhandle in the NOPA neighborhood. It’s a quiet home, very clean, with a beautiful view of a tree filled backyard. The home is filled with original artwork from local San Francisco artists and also plenty of authentic mid-century furniture and some quirky details!

Name: Inga Location: Gahanna, Ohio I live in a 746 square foot one bedroom apartment on the first floor, in a newly built apartment community in Gahanna, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. Since I was the first tenant to occupy this particular unit, it really feels like MY home. It’s located in a great area, surrounded by premiere shopping centers, as well as a 10-minute drive to work, which is a major plus. I would label my aesthetic as transitional and ever-changing (literally.

Name: Vivienne Location: Singapore, Malaysia My profession is trading but I have always dreamt of being an interior stylist. I’ve lived in Singapore for ten years, and this is the first apartment I’ve owned by myself and I’ve decided to treat it as a project to turn the plain condominium into my dream space. I’m a world traveller and have visited more than 40 countries. My home is therefore a mix of styles – a little bit of everything.

Name: Ursula Location: Logan Square — Chicago, Illinois I moved to Chicago from Los Angeles earlier this year and found a teensy apartment in my favorite neighborhood, a block from the center. I’m a baker professionally and use my home kitchen for recipe testing, so it took me a while to figure out how to utilize the narrow, poorly lit space.

Name: Johan & Jose Location: Silver Lake —Los Angeles, California We are Jose and Johan from Los Angeles. We recently moved to a newly renovated rental in Silver Lake, one of LA’s busiest and most eclectic neighborhoods. We’ve always loved this part of town, and it’s a convenient location for both of us as it’s close to our respective jobs. We love the space for its openness. The 500 square foot one-bedroom feels spacious thanks to the abundant natural light.

Name: Reka Location: Budapest, Hungary Our remodeled apartment in the hills of Budapest is living out its 9 lives in full style. The 45 square meter/485 square foot space is situated in a 1930s Bauhaus style villa, and was originally a chauffeur’s apartment until the ’40s, when my great-uncle bought the place and settled in with his wife.

Name: Micaela Location: Bouldin Creek —Austin, Texas I am a Texan through and through, more importantly: a true Austinite. I was born and raised in Austin, TX and can’t bring myself to leave. I absolutely love the city and the energy it exudes. I have lived in my current 620 square foot apartment in the central neighborhood of Bouldin Creek for about three years. I love the place; the outsides of the buildings look like 1970s log cabins and all of the windows in my unit face trees.

Name: Christa Location: South End — Boston, Massachusetts My little home on Dartmouth Street in Boston is my favorite place on Earth. It is about 550 square feet on the parlor level of a brick row house. Being a corner building I have windows on three sides which makes the snug space feel a bit grand. The ceilings are about 10 feet and have one big exposed brick wall in the living/dining room. My style is simple, a mix of affordable staples and found items through the years.

Name: Tara Location: Park Slope — Brooklyn, New York I moved into this charming pre-war Park Slope apartment less than a year ago and had to have it when I discovered the outdoor space. It’s the first Brooklyn apartment I’ve lived in on my own and I’ve dressed it up with all of my favorite design elements: simplicity, rustic and elegance—not to mention travel-inspired touches.

Name: Monica Location: Cathedral Park — Portland, Oregon My husband and I relocated to Portland this past April from Los Angeles. We’re both from the midwest, and we love the way this city combines all of our favorite aspects of home (family friendliness, slower pace lifestyle, nature, trees, water, swim holes) with everything we loved about living in L.A. (great art, culture, work, amazing food).

Name: Lili & Dwayne Location: Paris, France Dwayne (my husband) and I live in a one bedroom apartment in the North East of Paris, by the park Les Buttes Chaumont. I met Dwayne in New York when I was an intern at the Metropolitan Opera. We lived in Los Angeles together and got married in Lyon, where I still had my student apartment. We are both creatives working in the film industry and last year we decided to live in Paris.

Name: Abby & Chris Location: Chapel Hill, North Carolina These pictures are from the first home my husband Chris and I shared together in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in a really pretty neighborhood called Glen Lennox. The homes were built in the 1950s, and they are little one story red brick units with lots of beautiful old oak trees and wonderful walking paths. Our unit had a lot of charming old features (beautiful hardwood floors! adorable tiny stove!

Name: Anna Location: Tonbridge —Kent, United Kingdom We bought our home four years ago and since then have spent ages totally remodeling it, taking it from dated and chintzy to colourful and modern! The overall building is Victorian and was converted in the 1970s from one large house into a well proportioned front half and a higgledy piggledy back half (which used to be the servants quarters) and which become our home.
