These spaces can bring peace and they can also seriously inspire. Toss in a gorgeous, tree-lined Seattle neighborhood and a home like that is even harder to beat. But what makes Darlene Campos‘ home even dreamier is the way she’s pulled the decor together—it’s a grown-up space that’s beautiful and doesn’t take away from its surroundings, but still has the power to stand on its own.

If you’re like me and grew up with Better Homes & Garden and House Beautiful magazines in your home, then you know that almost every house they featured had wall-to-wall windows and French doors that let sunlight pour into every corner of that model home.

Posted by admin on

I looked at—I kid you not—about 25 apartments over a two-month period. I used my lunch almost every work-from-home day to go look at apartments, and my weeknights were booked with apartment viewings too. I spent more time on Zillow than Instagram and Twitter combined. It was one of the most stressful experiences, and I still have some low-key trauma to work through from it. So when I finally found the one, it was perfect.
