Checker kitchen

Jessica's rental house was built in the 1930s; she says it has a lot of "quirks, but also a lot of historic charm. It has original built-in cabinetry, windows, and tiling and a big backyard for us to all enjoy."

If you love a playful yet elevated look with cheerful colors, eclectic design from Beata Heuman and Swedish country style, see this.

Fritha Quinn — also known as blogger Tigerlilly Quinn — is a big fan of color and pattern, and the home she shares with her family shows that off.

This blue kitchen renovation puts some major charm back into a 1945 post-war era classic. With brass fixtures, blue cabinets + checkerboard floors this is a budget friendly makeover.

Name: Francesca and her cat, Shady Location: Southeast Portland, Oregon Size: 421 square feet Years lived in: 9 months: Rented When Francesca moved to Portland from upstate New York two years ago, she only brought a few suitcases with her. Since then, she’s been working for Airbnb, where she finds herself looking at beautiful interiors all day long and nesting beautifully in the first space she’s lived in by herself.

Sophisticated yet unpretentious just like a box of cleverly named Crayola crayons. And on that note, how wonderful are her pops of color? Moooore inside Andy and Kate Spade’s home here. Photos: The Selby
