Real Couple Home Tour: Amy & Bret

d.c. real couple home tour

Take a look inside the two-bedroom, two-bath, Washington, DC, condo that belongs to Amy and Bret.

What do you love most about it?
“We both fell in love with the views we have of the Potomac River and its location in the heart of Washington,” says Amy.

Did decorating it take a while?
"Since I didn’t officially move to DC until a week before our wedding, we decorated it long-distance," says Amy. There was another roadblock: With Bret's demanding job as host of Special Report With Bret Baier on FOX News, squeezing in time was tricky.

Did you pick out pieces together?
“We’d make decisions together on the weekends when I was in DC…it’s lucky we have the same taste!” she says. When Amy moved in, Bret had a surprise. “He carried me into the condo, and there were flowers and candles everywhere,” she says. “He’s a very romantic guy.”

Home Buying Help – Money Management Tools – Home Decorating Ideas – Free Recipes

Take a look into their Alexandria, Virginia townhouse.

How would you describe your style?
Eastern-inspired contemporary.

What’s your favorite room?
The living room. Guests who sit on our daybed sofa rarely want to get up because it's so comfortable.

Did you decorate your home together?
Lara comes up with most of the ideas since she’s a graphic designer, and Chris helps execute them.

What are your favorite decor stores?
West Elm, Target, IKEA, and outlet stores. Many of our home accessories are inherited from our families, accumulated from our travels, or created by us. We like to use accents and artwork that have a personal meaning or history.

Take the tour!

Real Couple Home Tour: Sabrina & Julian

Home Buying Help – Money Management Tools – Home Decorating Ideas – Free Recipes

Take a peek inside Sabrina and Julian's mod San Francisco Victorian.

Where do you live? 
"In a three-bedroom, three-bath home in the Glen Park neighborhood of San Francisco."

What's your style?
"I created a custom letterpress and stationery company called Hello!Lucky with my sister, Eunice. When it comes to my home and my business, I get inspired by everything from travel to local flea markets.”

What were you looking for in a home?
“Julian and I love modern architecture, but all of the contemporary places we saw were too cold," says Sabrina. "We also like the vintage look of Victorians, but everything was too dark inside.”

How did you know this was the one?
They stumbled upon this charming Victorian while house-surfing online, and it had everything they wanted—a cozy yet open floor plan and really nice light. The clincher? “The front door was painted red, which is good luck in Chinese culture,” says Sabrina. “That sealed the deal.”
