Designer, Kelly Behun, went the modern and minimal route for her custom home but injected lots of personal and unique touches all over. Kelly is the same designer that helped create the amazing that is Ivanka Trump's Manhattan apartment. Kelly keeps most of the home neutral and throws in whimsical pieces throughout. The white plaster staircase is incredible and you can see the gym while underwater in the pool!!
Thanks, Elle Decor for featuring such a beautiful home!

The Dorsey Residence (by Coates Design) is an excellent mix of clean lines and simple on the outside and energetic and funky on the inside. I love the variety of textures and "ingredients" (concrete, bamboo, laminate, steel) used in the creation of this Washington State home. The gorgeous surrounding landscape is the cherry on top!

Leave it to an art school in France to produce such a beautiful piece of functional art! These stairs are spectacular!! Designed by TETRARC Architects this whimsical staircase lives in The School of Arts in Saint Herblain, France. Maybe climbing stairs is more fun when they look like this?! : )
