Coveted? Crib: The House of Dexter
Metropolitan Home has teamed up with Showtime and some of the design world's top tastemakers to transform a 19th-century New York City townhouse into a modernist masterpiece with rooms that take a cue from some of Showtime's original series — Californication, Dexter, The L Word, The Tudors, and Weeds. The four-story Greek Revival townhouse will be open to the public until Oct. 26, and for those not taking a bite out of the Big Apple, PointClickHome.com has you covered online with behind-the-scenes videos, house tours, room galleries, decadent decor, designer secrets and tricks-of-the-trade, sweepstakes, and even a design tool to help you recreate the featured rooms.

Housed in Paris's oldest bakery, dating back to 1900, the hotel, which has preserved its typical French boulangerie façade, is in Paris's trendy, fashion-centric Marais district — in other words, it's the hippest hotel since sliced bread. If a "haute-l" pun were ever appropriate, the time is now: The lodging looks to be one step off of the runway, filled with daring, devil-may-care creations, be it a heart-shaped Venetian mirror on glossy, scarlet-red tiles, a clash of rustic and Zen, or a vividly-hued Jacobsen Swan chair against old-fashioned toile de Jouy wallpaper.
