So many details to study: noticed very few rugs, minimal window treatments, the gallery wall and the floors are fab! My fave is the kitchen with the skirted counters and lack of upper cabinets. The 3rd story window is much better but I liked the original awning over the front door much better.

I remember your before post and was blown away. I can say the same about your current post. So beautiful and so not dated are Donna's furnishings. Both of her homes have been contemporary, but decorated with period furniture and paintings. Love how she has the same type of skirt on her bottom kitchen cabinets.
