Home Inspiration With Meredith Swinehart
Meet the first of our two guest judges for the 2015 Remodelista Considered Design Awards: Hollywood interior designer Estee Stanley.
Estee Stanley began her career as a fashion stylist in LA and found a calling in interior design almost by accident. For a stretch she found herself moving houses constantly, and when her clients saw her newly appointed rooms, they started asking for styling help beyond their wardrobes. She's designed interiors for actors Patrick Dempsey, Lea Michelle, Amanda Peet, and Rashida Jones—to name but a few—and though she still works in fashion styling, today she's equally known for her interior design work.
Estee says she has no one style—she tailors her work to her client's tastes and needs. Still, her designs tend to be global, warm, neutral, and notably understated. Among her many professional ventures, Estee is an editor-at-large at My Domaine and her latest project is Au Fudge, a kid-friendly restaurant currently in the works with business partner Jessica Biel.
For more from Estee, visit Estee Stanley Design and follow her at Au Fudge and Estee Stanley on Instagram, and see her work on Remodelista in LA Woman: At Home with Hollywood's Style Guru and Steal This Look: Estee Stanley's Outdoor Patio in LA.

"I lived in the upstairs apartment and started renovating one room at a time. I added a staircase, ripped out walls, and reconfigured the living room—one project at a time."

A summer essential: the canvas cot. Add a few pillows and throws and it becomes an instant daybed. Here are 10 we're admiring (plus sourcing details).
Above: Gardenista contributor Erin Boyle of Reading My Tea Leaves (she's an expert on tiny apartment living) found her vintage army cot on eBay; it replaces a couch with a larger footprint and frees up valuable floor space.
Above: Designed in 1962 by Ole Gjerlov-Knudsen for his son, who was embarking on a camping trip (Kundsen wanted him to travel in comfort), the OGK Safari Daybed is $620 from the Dwell Store. Photograph via French by Design.

Home Inspiration With Margot Guralnick
Star fashion stylist and shop owner Tiina Laakonen lives in the Hamptons surrounded by Finnish modern classics that remind her of home. In preparation for Midsummer Eve—this year the solstice is on June 20—she set her table with a spirited mix of patterns. Here's how to re-create the look.
Table setting photographs by Heikki Aho for Remodelista.
Above: Tiina sticks to a palette of black, white, and blue in every room, so we weren't surprised that she extends the scheme to her table. It also pervades Tiina the Store in Amagansett, New York, where she showcases fashion alongside Scandinavian household staples. (Tiina opened the boutique when she was furnishing her house and discovered a need to import so many of the Finnish designs she wanted to live with.)
Above: The table is set with three different plate and napkin patterns: "By sticking to a simple color palette, you can mix patterns in a free way," she says. "The black and white Marimekko designs are all classics and most have a similar hand-drawn style. The blues add color and keep it all from looking too stark and cold."
Above: See A Finnish Design Fete: Tiina's Midsummer Table for Tiina's 10-course Midsummer menu.
Tabletop
Above: The tablecloth is Marimekko cotton yardage in the patchwork Yhdessä pattern; it's available at Tiina's shop for $48 per yard.
Above: Kaj Franck's Teema dinnerware, a classic from Finnish company Iittala, is available by the piece at Tiina the Store; Teema Dinner Plates are $26. Read the story behind the design and find other pieces and sources in Object Lessons.
Above: The black-and-white plates are Birger Kaipiainen's 1970 Paratiisi pattern from Arabia of Finland (also available in a colored version). Paratiisi Dinner Plates are available from Rakuten Global Market for $51.63 each. Go to Arabia for more retailers.
Above: Tiina's flatware is Bertel Gardberg's Lion Pattern by Hackman, a division of Iittala. A 24-piece set (six four-piece place settings) is $385 from the Finnish Design Shop.
Above: Iittala's cobalt-colored Valencia tableware was a wedding present to Tiina and her husband, Jon Rosen, from Tiina's family in Finland. Though production ceased in 2002, the pattern is available from vintage dealers, including Sataman Antiikki, Tiina's brother's antiques shop in Finland. It can also be sourced on Etsy and eBay.
Above: Kaj Franck's Kartio colored glassware from Iittala is on display in Tiina's open kitchen. A set of two 7-ounce Kartio Tumblers is $22 from Tiina the Store and comes in several colors and other sizes. Didriks also sells the glassware. Photograph by Matthew Williams for Remodelista.
Above: Iittala's 2001 Essence wine glasses come in a range of shapes. The Essence White Wine Glass, shown here, is $40 for a set of two from Tiina the Store. All Modern also offers the collection.
Above: Kivi Votives from Iittala are a 1964 design by Heikki Orvola; they're available in 10 shades of thick colored glass for $19 each from Amara.
Above: Linen Suits Napkins from Crate & Barrel are $39.95 for a set of four, each in a different stripe.
Furniture
Above: The biggest splurge in Tiina's open living room: her Piet Hein Eek table from the designer's scrapwood series. The 240 Canteen Table is $8,986 from The Future Perfect. (West Elm's Emmerson Reclaimed Wood Dining Table, $899-$1,200, was clearly inspired by the design.)
Above: Piet Hein Eek's Canteen Bench in Scrapwood is $4,777 from The Future Perfect. (The Emmerson Reclaimed Wood Bench from West Elm is $499-$599.)
Above: At the table, bench seating is paired with vintage Scandinavian dining chairs that Tiina's husband found on eBay. For a similar look, consider O&G Studio's ebonized ash Colt Low-Back Side Chair handmade in Rhode Island; $680 each.
