We always knew interior-designer-turned-apothecary-owner Alison Evans had great taste, but moving across the country to restore a historic home (in under just four months!) takes vision. Built by a sea captain in the early 19th century, the home hadn't been touched since the '70s, but beyond the layers of dingy linoleum, wallpaper, and carpeting, Alison and husband Jon could envision their dream home. Located in East Orleans, MA, their new hometown is known for its sweet mom-and-pop shops, fabulous farmers market, and the best beaches around — including an exclusive residents beach just a five-minute drive from their home! Keep reading to see some of our favorite design moments in the house and get Alison's tips for starting a decorating project from scratch.

MARCH, a San Francisco home goods store, merges airy modernism with utilitarian craftsmanship for a space that has local foodies and designophiles in a tizzy. The lovely wares for the kitchen, pantry, and table, some of which are created exclusively for MARCH, aren't the only things this space sells. Even more covetable is the irresistible aesthetic. Flooded in natural light and covered in the brightest white from floor to ceiling, items like handcrafted ceramics by Victoria Morris meld with Brooklyn Copper Cookware, bespoke butcher block tables with Farrow & Ball-painted legs, and table linens from Boxwood Linens, to sell a lifestyle instead of just products. Take a tour of MARCH's inspiring space, and get tips on how to re-create the look in your own home.

Few designers have a style as distinct and instantly recognizable as Trina Turk's. Known for a love of colorful prints and midcentury mod, Trina channels another era through a totally original and modern lens. A peek into Trina's Instagram feed reveals myriad sources of inspiration behind her clothing and home line: a flea-market treasure, a collection of textiles in San Miguel de Allende, the architecture of her beloved Palm Springs, CA. More interesting, however, is the joie de vivre that Trina embodies no matter where she goes or what she does. It comes through each and every photo, and it is down right contagious. Click through to enter the fun and fabulous world of Trina (and Mr!) Turk!
