French interior designer Marianne Evennou has a knack for color. Even for those of us on the Remodelista team for whom grey feels like a bold choice, Evennou has a way of making color look effortless: pairing rusts with pale greens, layering rooms in many shades of the same hue, using vibrant blues like others would a neutral. “Colors for me are like musical notes—they’re all good; you just have to adjust them to make a nice melody,” Evennou told Margot in our piece Home at the Office: Designer Marianne Evennou’s Paris Work Quarters and Pied-à-Terre. As it turns out, Evennou has…

Price: $2,777Location: Toledo, OHContact: Judy Stone, 419-241-1717The History: By the turn of the 20th century, the Old West End section of Toledo was growing rapidly, as the city known as the Glass Capital of the World attracted a wave of newcomers. This sturdy hip-roofed house, just two blocks from the designated historic district, was built by fire department captain John Lotz and his wife, Minnie, in 1900.

All three are designed with minimal waste in mind, woven using the darker types of bamboo that are usually discarded. Above: The…

What a Difference a Garage Door Makes 3 × Convincing Craftsman Convincing Craftsman Photo courtesy of CLOPAY To get the same look with less maintenance, consider wood-look garage doors. They appear authentic because the steel door has a stained woodgrain paint finish topped with overlays molded from actual wood pieces to reproduce the texture and grain pattern they emulate. These garage doors come in several factory-finished stain colors to complement other stained exterior woodwork. Walnut is shown in the above photo; you can choose from Medium, Dark, or Slate. Many Clopay® garage doors feature the insulation benefits of Intellicore®, a proprietary…

This just in: what might be the most ingenious, scrappy rental renovation we’ve seen. It came in from Kristina Line, a 25-year-old Norway native studying art and architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (she’s taking her exams this spring) and her partner, Anton Bak, from Copenhagen, a spatial designer at the Royal Danish Academy (who also works at cabin start-up Klein). The pair put their studies to the test when Line landed a coveted internship with Danish designer Søren Rose Studio in New York City but found that her loft apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn—in a former textile factory—lacked…
