This home is one of my biggest house crushes, which is no wonder when you consider that its owner is the co-founder of Lonny.com and former Editor-in-Chief of Domino Magazine, two of my all-time favorite sources for design inspiration. After spending most of her 20s living in a tiny Manhattan apartment, Michelle decided a few years ago to leave behind city life to be closer to family. She purchased a Georgian-style fixer-upper just a few miles away from her parents' home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a vision to transform it to fit her dream lifestyle. She describes the vibe of the house as "a mix of European antiques with a sort of California bohemian look." The combination of antique furniture, global textiles, modern light fixtures, and crisp white upholstery is right up my alley. I also feel like it's a look that's so approachable for younger people designing their homes on a budget, much like myself.
When I realized I'd never shared this home on the blog, I couldn't resist commemorating it here with this collection of gorgeous images. Each room is so artfully layered that I could come back and study these photos again and again. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
