Gail Simmons' Guide to the Best, Most Inspiring Home & Design Shops

Did you guys manage to catch our visit to Gail Simmons' home earlier this week? If not, take a minute to peruse. (We'll wait.)

What did you think? Nice, right? We were, of course, enamored with the beautiful space itself; but more than that, we were drawn in by the peaceful vibe. Natural blue, beige, and cream tones made up the main palette, and were complemented nicely with moments of fun texture (did you catch that 3D wall installation?) and real-life accents, like her daughter Dahlia's artwork.

We know Gail and her husband Jeremy got some welcome help from an interior designer, but they also have a pretty clear sense of their own style, and a personal interest in home and design.
