A COUPLE PURCHASED THIS gorgeous hilltop property in Millbrook, New York, for its showstopping setting, not for the existing house, a midcentury-modern ranch. We all foresaw a total rebuild in a few years’ time, so I started the project with a short-term refresh in mind. As the process unfolded, however, it became increasingly clear how fabulous the house could be. That is when we decided to keep the original structure and launch into a thorough renovation. I chose patterns in this house for fun and function, like the faux bois wallpaper in the airy living room that channels the space’s original, paneled midcentury vibe. Its limed-oak coloring gives the room a 21st-century update. By relocating the dining room to the former breakfast room, I took advantage of its stunning view…

THEY SAY YOU ONLY GET EIGHT quality, carefree vacations with your children before they’re too cool for the kiddie pool, so to speak. But the window for Christmas magic feels even smaller. My children, Emmy, 8, and Jack, 7, are in peak wide-eyed-wonder mode, so as soon as pumpkins make way for poinsettias across the porches of our Birmingham, Alabama, neighborhood, we pile into our family’s 1989 woody Wagoneer and cue up holiday music on the staticky FM radio en route to the tree lot. Once the deodar cedar is situated in the living room, I turn my attention to the rest of the house, much of which was designed by decorator and textile designer Heather Chadduck Hillegas. We bought the new build (a spec house, actually!) for its proximity…

WANT TO TALK? E-MAIL ME AT EDITOR@HOUSEBEAUTIFUL.COM. Joanna Saltz: How have shopping patterns changed within the past two years? Corey Damen Jenkins: We became more comfortable with not only shopping online but reaching out to vendors and asking very pointed questions, or asking for more photos, so we can get as much detail as possible. We made some really great purchases as a result of that approach. Jenny Dina Kirschner: I would often shop locally with my clients so they could see and feel the dining room chair they wanted. We haven’t been able to do that quite as much, so I’ve continued using my go-to online sources like 1stDibs and Chairish. Margaret Schwartz: As a dealer, we’ve had to adapt as well. I only started buying virtually in January…

Full Surround The wall-to-wall shelves in this library by Romanek Design Studio house a vast book collection, but the svelte-legged seating keeps it from feeling overstuffed. Simple Stacks Suzanne Rheinstein set neat piles of books in a home library alcove so the owners can easily reach for one without leaving the writing desk. Hang Art on Your Bookcase Designer Marissa Bero uses Command hooks or Velcro strips “since they don’t leave a hole, so you can easily rearrange!” For heavier works, she says, “install a hook or nail on the top side of a shelf. You can easily hook a wire on it, but won’t see the hole if you decide to remove it.” Dining Display To help define this Brooklyn apartment’s open dining area, Space Exploration added a wall…

CALL IT A family tradition. “Growing up as a creative kid, I was always the first one in the house to start decorating for Christmas,” says stylist and designer Alfredo Paredes, founder of Alfredo Paredes Studio. The same now goes in the Shelter Island, New York, home that Paredes shares with his husband, Brad Goldfarb, and their two children. “For me, it’s all about creating memories and embracing nostalgia,” Paredes explains. “Maybe it’s a product of being a Cuban American. My family had to leave everything behind when they came here.” Seeing his parents start from scratch made Paredes appreciate the value of family heirlooms, old photographs, and historic items. These are tucked into every corner and propped on every surface of the Shelter Island home. The 1870 Victorian, formerly…

IT WAS ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. DEVIN KIRK WAS eating popcorn and watching TV the first time he laid eyes on unit #12B—the inspiration for the Chicago condo featured in the 2006 rom-com The Break-Up. As Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn fought over the enviable space on the small screen, the designer marveled at the home’s barrel-vaulted entryway, high ceilings, and great proportions. (“They filmed the movie on a soundstage, of course, but the details are the same,” he notes.) Little did Kirk know, 14 years later—the day before the city went into lockdown due to the pandemic—he’d be moving into the very same apartment. Tucked in a 1926 co-op just off Lake Shore Drive, the three-bedroom, 1,800-square-foot sprawl was the perfect size for Kirk and his husband, Chad,…
