TOP ROW: Justin Friedman, owner of design and build firm HM Homes in Royal Oak, rounded up a dream team to create his own home: architectural firm Alexander V. Bogaerts +
Associates in Bloomfield Hills and Carrie Long Interiors in Royal Oak. In the powder room, shiplap planks create a minimalist take on paneling, bookending a limestone floating vanity
and wall-mounted faucet. In the dining room, a French farmhouse-style Grange table is lined with circa-1920s hand-carved chairs that Long had repainted and recovered with indoor-
outdoor fabric. Hazel Park metalsmith Richard Gage framed the glass doors leading to the den. ABOVE: David Tessler, owner of Jabs Gym in Birmingham and Detroit, and his wife,
Meagan, wanted a modern look with uber practicality for their growing family. Outside, a wood-burning oven and firewood storage are built into a 13-foot-tall fireplace. In the great
room, Barbi Stalburg Bell, owner of BSB Design in Bloomfield Hills, created “zones” for entertaining and relaxing, centered around a round pedestal table with chairs covered in burlap
and nail tacks.
