Name: Claire Location: Brentwood neighborhood of Washington, DC At 700 square feet, this apartment feels casual and playful.

We wanted a whimsical factor that referenced both our love of pop culture and our dachshund (he’s everywhere!

Name: Abigail and Joe Location: Washington, DC I love that our landlord let us paint! The pink wall felt like a risk at the time, but now it seems demure. We love it!

Name: Jen Location: Travis Heights neighborhood, Austin, Texas My best friend Marina moved to Tel Aviv to study abroad for a year, so I moved into her house.

Name: Whitney Location: New Orleans I live in a one bedroom apartment that’s about 625sqft. My style is definitely eclectic, as I like to blend several different styles. It was very important to me that my apartment reflect the personality of my fiance and I, which is fun and very carefree. We spend most of our time here, so our living room had to be both stylish and comfortable. I love color and bold artwork. My entire room was designed around this large cow canvas art.

Name: Hannah Location: Salt Lake City, Utah I fell in love with my small Victorian house in Salt Lake City the first time I laid eyes on it.

Name: Cedrick and Sunny Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada We moved into this 1938 bungalow in mid-town Toronto’s East End in September and immediately tore up the old shag carpet to reveal original oak floors. The house has lots of original character, from the original wood burning fireplace to leaded windows to dark wood paneling throughout the dining room and we love the tension of vintage. Mid-century modern furnishings against traditional details.

Name: Erin Location: Denver, Colorado My husband and I moved to Denver from Chicago almost 2 years ago.
