The Boswells splurged on a new walnut dining table by David Iatesta but saved by using their existing chairs, to be replaced later. For a bit of sparkle, the designer added a chandelier from Ochre made of hand-blown glass droplets suspended from a polished-nickel frame.

Joe and Kim Boswell with daughter Kate. The couple has since had a son, Kevin.

Interior designer Julie Massucco Kleiner.

Growing up in an old house in Vermont gave Julie a strong understanding of traditional design. Her childhood home wasn't formal, however, but casual and livable. "That plays into my approach today," she says. "There are casual and youthful elements in my designs." New England's gray winters also taught her how to infuse color and light into interiors, a skill that has served her well in San Francisco and Seattle.

Julie lives in Seattle but continues to design along the West Coast with partners Melissa Warner and Carrie Miller at Massucco Warner Miller Design.
