H&H design editor Cameron MacNeil reveals how he transformed a dark, neglected rowhouse into a hip, contemporary home using wallpaper, modern furniture and art work. Michael Penney decoupages pretty botanical prints onto an Ikea Hemnes dresser to create a bohomian chic furniture piece. Plus, chef Claire Tansey shares easy-yet-delicious party appetizer recipes, including chips with beef tartare, smoked salmon bites and BLT skewers.
