- Brilliant (and useful!) design tips: Get inspired by Frank Sinatraâs mid-century modern Palm Springs patio for outdoor entertaining, the contemporary open concept of a modern-day architectâs home, Jackie Kennedyâs trendsetting take on the White Houseâs State Dining Room, and Edith Whartonâs subtle Gilded Age anomaly.
