August/September 2010 on newsstands now!
If we asked you to picture traditional, contemporary, and beach decor, no doubt certain characteristics would come to mind. Our August/September issue, however, shows just how differently each of these styles can be interpreted. Examples contrast European and American traditional; one contemporary for a growing family and another for empty-nesters; and simple, streamlined beach design compared with Victorian style right down to the gingerbread trim. The one characteristic that ties all six homes together is design for today's lifestyles.
