"A Home of Their Own"

"A Home of Their Own"

Often, couples fall in love with an older home despite the work it needs. But for Amy Studebaker and her husband, Nick Milonas, the fact that their 1950s Southern Colonial required a gut renovation was what made it so perfect…

In this issue’s Home feature, owner and principal designer of Amy Studebaker Design - Studebaker herself - takes us behind the scenes of the renovation of her own home! She’s been helping families from New York to California create their dream homes for more than a decade using her signature blend of new and classic décor. This time, however, her own family was the client. A fixer-upper meant they had the opportunity to design a home whose every inch was just right for them.

Because of the extent of the renovation, Studebaker touched almost every room before her family moved in. As a result, it can be hard to choose a favorite. “I truly enjoy each space and how they have all come together,” says Studebaker. “Everything was designed specifically for us and how we live. WhenI look back at the process of selecting and designing our home, I remember how excited I was to be able to create a home for my family that was just for us.”
