Coveted Crib: Farmhouse Fantastic
The interior of this Vermont farmhouse, recently featured in House Beautiful, comes courtesy of the talents of designer Susan Tully. The look exudes comfort and simplicity, thanks to the muted color palette and restrained use of patterns.
This sense of restraint and tranquility was inspired by the Shaker tradition of this area of Vermont, and details like the cherrywood pencil-post bed and millwork reflect this heritage.
Coveted Crib: Marianne Boesky's Contemporary Traditionalist Mix
Marianne Boesky is the owner of a self-titled gallery in downtown New York, she's a new wife and mother, and she lives in a dare-I-say "sick" apartment over her internationally acclaimed shop. The Marianne Boesky Gallery supports the work of contemporary international artists of all media, including Sarah Sze, Takashi Murakami, and Yoshitomo Nara—in other words, no fox hunting landscapes in sight.
Her husband, Liam Culman, an equity sales trader, who previously lived in a minimalist loft by Richard Gluckman, wanted to go for a traditional aesthetic this time.

Coveted Crib: An Art Collector's Curated Minimalism
When you are an art collector, you don't need an interior designer or even color on your walls to have a painfully coveted crib. In the town of Lille in northern France, a French art collector turned a former textile factory into a 557-square-foot loft with a patio. He kept the mill's original crisscross shaped trusses and painted everything white, including beautiful features like cast-iron columns.
Coveted Crib: Arty in Cologne
You'd expect nothing less than inspired décor from an artist, designer, and art director, and that's exactly what you see in Mike Meiré's early 20th-century Cologne apartment. On top of beautiful architectural bones, Meiré has used his German home as a canvas to showcase his contemporary art collection, including work by Rita Ackermann, Lutz Fezer, and Damien Hirst. Pop art brings in color throughout, and iconic designs by famous names (Jasper Morrison, Eero Saarinen, Piero Lissoni) give the place a sense of idolism.
Coveted Crib: A Sleek Hamptons Home
When it comes to coveted cribs, beach views, sleek modern architecture, and poolside lounging are definitely enviable features. This gorgeous vacation home in East Hampton comes complete with three different water sources: a pond, a solar-heated pool, and views to nearby Barrier Beach.
The home, which was recently renovated, admirably merges the structure with the surrounding landscape.
Coveted Crib: A Fire Station Home
When a UK couple (a musician and a cook) wanted to make their home a reflection of their creative spirit, they turned to London architect Simon Conder, whose work has included turning barn buildings and granaries into sleek, modern homes. The project: to create a sleek, inspirational home behind the abandoned West London Holland Park fire station.
The architectural solution for the space involved creating a rooftop conservatory in the center of the building plan.
Coveted Crib: An Unconventional French Cottage
From the exterior, Gary and Samantha Peterson's Chamonix cottage, which was featured in Marie Claire Maison, is resolutely a traditional Alpine house. But push open its front door, and you'll be confronted with cheerfully decorated interiors bursting with acid colors, massively proportioned spaces, and walls dressed in white, throwing you into a ski vacation universe turned upside down. Despite the fact that all conventions have been thrown to the wind, and your average cottage kitsch is notably missing, the Petersons' cottage is a welcoming mountain escape, and certainly what I'd call a coveted crib.
Coveted Crib: The Coogee House
