Now that you know more about our next big house project for 2022, I thought I’d share one of my first decorating decisions for the guest bathroom: finding an affordable double vanity! While we’re planning to splurge on custom cabinetry and countertops in our primary bathroom, it’s so much more affordable to opt for a pre-made double vanity in our guest bathroom, especially since it’s not a space we’ll be using every day. The pre-made double vanities below all come fully assembled and include both countertops and sink basins, plus it’s easy to swap out the drawer pulls if they’re...

Moving into your very first post-college apartment is a big deal, but it feels especially momentous when you come from a family of seven kids like Tallulah Novogratz, one of the daughters of design duo Cortney and Robert Novogratz. “I never really had my own space,” says Tallulah, who graduated from Bennington College in the spring of 2021 and started hunting for a rental in New York City shortly thereafter.

At the end of 2020, while pregnant with her second child, Farah Prochaska was sitting at home binge-watching Home Again With the Fords (the HGTV series following Leanne Ford and her brother, Steve, as they help people move back to where they grew up) when she had an aha moment. “Leanne used Surecrete on so many of the projects, and every time I was like, I have to do this,” recalls Prochaska, a Utah-based design blogger and freelance stylist.  The textured wall treatment has become a signature of Ford’s.

London antiques dealer Will Fisher attributes his interest in interiors to a childhood encounter with a character named Warner Dailey, the father of his best friend. Fisher’s favorite saying—and a tenet he continues to live by—comes from Dailey: “I’m interested in things that look like they’ve grown roots on them.” Photography by Simon Upton.

Jamb, the company Fisher runs with his wife, Charlotte Freemantle, has gained an international reputation for sourcing and reproducing such objects: rare fireplace mantels, 18th-century statuary, exquisite reproduction lighting, and country house furniture.
