Also fantasy-fulfilling: its proximity to the slopes. When family and friends come to ski—and they will!—there’s more than enough room to go around. Says Brian, “There’s no other cabin like it.” For swanky-yet-homey-style, Brian put in channel-tufted armchairs, a modular sofa, and a mixed-materials coffee table (all from Wayfair). Old books and vintage-looking objects…

People always rave to them about how fabulous it is for a kitchen!”—Alicia Hassen, Brooklinteriors, Brooklyn, NY bee BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS “For a lover of all things mid-century, I went with a golden yellow in her dining area.

wood slats The trend: Hang’em horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to make an impact. Plain white walls in Medina Grillo’s living room got a new life with mere strips of wood. Medina (@grillodesigns) nailed up thin, unfinished pieces with skinny, not-noticeable nails; a laser level helped keep them in line. “They have a wood-panel look that fits my old-meets-new style,” she says.
