Home is where high-profile families make a retreat, where
chic penthouse owners dwell. It’s an ultra-retro rambler, or an artsy rural
escape. For our second annual Home Tours, we asked six couples to give us a peek
inside their very cool residence. Each was selected for its distinctive
interiors, geographic location, and reflection of personal style.
The
first farmhouse in Minneapolis’s Kenwood neighborhood, built in the 1880s, is
now the home of Leslye and Eddie Phillips and their eleven-year-old twins,
Hutton and J. J.
Interior
designer Billy Beson (shown) and his partner Ronn Larson continue to call
Minneapolis home, but their Florida penthouse has become somewhat of a satellite
location for Beson’s firm.
Ray Johnson and
his wife, Susan, have decorated the walls of their Lake Minnetonka estate with a
few of their 10,000 pieces of Russian art—believed to be the largest privately
owned collection outside the former Soviet Union.
From the sun porch filled with vintage rattan to the
tricked-out basement with the prerequisite cocktail bar—at every turn in Gary
Klun and Jason Engelman's home you can
see how it used to be in the good ol’ days.
