Home & Design | West by Midwest
Allison and Joe Sriver can quickly rattle off a list of things they love about their Brainerd-area getaway on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes: taking the pontoon out, morning coffee on the dock listening to the loons, and s’mores around the firepit.

That was the brief for Manhattan-based interior designer Neal Beckstedt, when a pair of clients called on him to decorate their new place: A 1928, three-bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side with high ceilings and leafy views of Central Park. It needed to be, in Beckstedt’s words, “Young and fun and cool while still respecting uptown. Bringing the downtown element to them—that was the challenge.” Luckily, he and his clients—a real estate developer and a learning specialist—had instant chemistry: “Neal understood that…

Spring Home Design: A historic West Seattle kitchen goes from clunky to sunny
THE “BEFORE” OF this story stretches back nearly a century to a significant architectural milestone that now grounds a newly elegant, supremely functional kitchen as the “after” hub of the home — and as homage. Brandon and Jill (plus their “two-legged kid,” who is 9, and their “four-legged kid,” who is a giant German shepherd) live in a historic 1927 French Colonial in West Seattle designed by Elizabeth Ayer, the first woman to graduate from the professional architecture program at the University of Washington and the first woman registered as an architect in the state.
