Starting anew, she decorated her home with elements brimming with history, texture and character, creating a space one part Los Angeles tree house and another part Parisian flea market, filled with art, books, a prized vintage camera collection and various collectibles that give the space a joie de vivre vibrancy…

My Childhood Home: Growing Up Around Great Design
House Call

Name: Able family
Location: Indianapolis, Indiana
Lived In: 1977 - 1983

I learned to appreciate Marimekko, Herman Miller and good design at a young age — I grew up in a small house from 1907 that had been completely gutted and renovated by my parents. My architect dad and design-enthusiast mom did almost all of the work themselves and the home, in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis, was featured in Indianapolis Home in February of 1980 and Home Magazine in 1981.

Rhoda's Southern Hospitality
House Call

Name: Rhoda of Southern Hospitality
Location: Birmingham, Alabama

Being from the South, I'm mostly a traditional decorator, but love to add some fun and sass into the mix whenever I can. I'm also a yardsale and thriftstore hound and have found some great things by re-purposing, re-painting, and generally rehabbing my found items to work in my house. And that makes for a nice eclectic mix, which is much more interesting than just going to the store and buying things new.
