I recently stayed at the Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Spa and was really impressed by how its design resonated with me and captured my sense of style. Nestled in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert with Camelback Mountain in the background, the resort’s style perfectly blends mid-century modern with southwestern design and the addition of local art combines to make Andaz a … Continue reading

The spaces are grounded with mid-century furnishings, accessorized with global treasures and rustic background finishes. This … Continue reading

Then layers of function and glamour are added with: the sink, flooring, faucets, lighting, knobs, pulls, and the backsplash. The backsplash? Yeah, the “tiled” surface that protects … Continue reading
The home of Brian and Jill Faherty, owners of Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co., has all the elements of my dream home. Its clean, functional design is a blend of mid-century and modern elements. A few years ago the couple transformed their 4,700 square-foot Colonial-style home, which had great bones but small rooms, into a 3,200 square-foot family-friendly … Continue reading
