I live in a beautiful vintage building that was built in the heart of downtown Chicago.

I've always felt that color is intrinsically personal. It evokes a tremendous amount of emotion. If there's a color you respond to, that's something you can incorporate into your home. No one can tell you it's wrong.

I always want objects in my home that have a connection to me or something I've loved. It's still stuff, but it's stuff that has meaning.

About 90 percent of the pieces in my home are vintage, and I'm a ruthless editor. I only live with things that I love. There is not one thing in my home that doesn't have meaning to me.

Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love brought together under one roof.

Mixing in some rusty oranges is a warm way to update your place for fall.

I always had this New York fantasy of living in a glass high-rise.
