Animal: Golden Retriever

Hobby: Cooking / Garden Club

A modern take on a classic design, this reimagined foursquare was inspired by the homes sold through Sears, Roebuck & Co.’s mail-in catalogs in the early 20th century. Our designers kept the best of this traditional design and updated it with luxurious, modern details. 

“Dulce de Leche”

Getaway: Tuscany

Dessert: Caramel cake

Effortlessly stylish and ultra moody, this NYC loft-inspired home gives a nod to the Industrial Chic design trend made famous by the city’s warehouse-to-loft transformations.

“Uptown Funk”

Cocktail: Cosmo

Getaway: Morocco

Dessert: Sprinkled Donuts

Eclectic design meets old-school sophistication in this New York brownstone-inspired home. There are plenty of captivating details, but our favorite is the lion-head symbol hidden throughout the main floor. Let us know if you can find them all…
