"I used to spend 25 days a month on the road, but when [my daughter] Bebelle was born four years ago, I made a rule that I’d rarely travel for work. That means cooking dinner together, playing dress up, and tweeting in my pajamas. I like my domestic side!"

"The room is so narrow; it would take up too much space. I like the open area for Bebelle to play. When I have people over, I move little cocktail tables and ottomans around and set out trays of food. I don’t worry about spills. The rug is cotton and washable."

"When I bought this place, it had a really outdated ’80s-style spiral staircase. I tore it out and put in these graphic floating stairs that I just love. Even though Bebelle has mastered going up and down, I’m adding a glass side panel along the railing. And on’t ignore the space under the stairs. It has great storage potential. I have a large apothecary cabinet with 81 drawers under mine."

Genevieve got this hold-everything piece, originally from a bait and tackle shop, at a salvage store. Each drawer is labeled with its contents: maps, acorns, spray adhesive, etc. The one labeled “life” holds keys, sunglasses, a hairbrush—whatever she needs on her way out the door each day.
