e d i t o r ’ s welcome
your home, your way Here it is—finally!—our most reliable stairway to heaven, one could say, our tried-and-true path to nirvana or Shangri-la…whatever! Simply pick and choose your own favorite place where design dreams come true, then dive into these pages and presto: you’ll see what I mean about feeling totally wrapped in boundless imagination. The mastery of techniques, the limitless talent, and the copious commissions together make for heavenly fare indeed, and for any respectable design junkie (aka this writer!) our Spring Homes issue is it! The resi market remains, for our industry, where it’s all at (as the saying goes), and we more than prove it inside. First, we share quick-at-a-clip excursions to all corners of the craft (the necessary shorthand for you to gauge where the biz and the market stand). A striking roundup of small abodes, from Paris to Prague, proves that color and art pack a powerful design punch. Every issue includes an abundance of products, too, like the super-chic lighting, rugs, and furniture at General Assembly’s new brick-and-mortar Brooklyn storefront. And just wait until you see the alabaster furniture coming from Cairo…a showstopper! We follow with an extensive longhand portfolio of main stories and features. A tired Tudor in Australia gets a quirky makeover (check out their heavenly staircase!); a historic Pelham, New York, home also gets a magical, modern update (watch for the wowza wallpaper!); and our essay of the best residences worldwide definitively demonstrates that stellar homes come in all shapes and sizes. Need I say more? Just turn the page to find your own bliss and say aaaaahhhh! xoxo,
