Houzz Tour: Old house Creative Director of Vogue Gets a new look - During its 150 years of existence, this apartment in a brownstone in New York City was home to a dummy -actrice, DJ fame and the woman responsible for the appearance of Vogue . It was Grace Coddington, creative director of long standing for perhaps the most famous fashion magazine in the world, which gave the two-story apartment loft look. Downstairs, there was an open space lined with closets and a tiny kitchen out-of-the-way. A spiral staircase hard to navigate the corner leading to a single bedroom and bathroom tucked under a steeply pitched roof.
'Judging by the size of the kitchen, I would say Grace Coddington did not cook much, said Katie Martinez, the interior designer who, with architect Anastasia Amelchakova, remodeled space for the current owners - newlyweds Trevor and Christina Winstead. The bride and Martinez are old college friends and she trusted the designer to help the first couple's home address their sensitivities.

Well they certainly need storage, do not need a series of walk-in closets. It was not as much of a priority for them. "The designer also said the upstairs bedroom with his" crazy roof "was better suited to customers passing through daily life.
In collaboration with the architect, Martinez reorganized the layout, creating a lower level bedroom and bathroom, storage which was long and shallow rather than deep, and a more elegant , easy stairs to climb. This staircase now divides the lower level, with living room and kitchen on one side of it and the master bedroom and bathroom on the other
The show highlights the selected style couple:. Traditional with youth, modern touches. Christina and I made a long exploration of what their style was, said Martinez. "In the end, she had a strong sense of personal style, and it is traditional and classic with modern elements. She and her husband grew up in a very traditional suburban homes. They would not completely traditional houses for themselves, but they do not want something cold and modern either. We landed on something that is graceful, timeless classic and modern detailing and nods to contemporary style.
