Each week, we’re featuring one Seattle-area home that we think is interesting, inspiring or just a downright feast for the eyes. Some of them are actually on the market, while other homes will offer enviable style tips–courtesy of their ingenious owners or designers–that you can steal for your own abode.

This week’s masterpiece comes to us from savvy interior designer Graciela Rutkowski, owner of GR Lifestyle Co., which includes design firm GR Interiors, and store, GR Home, near University Village. “I’m self-taught,” Rutkowski told Seattle magazine’s lifestyle editor Ali Brownrigg in a May 2014 interview. “That means that I’m not limited to what’s ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in design…my focus is on the customer…and finding the right solution.”

For this 4,480-square-foot Medina abode–that’s featured on Porch.com–Rutkowski freshened practically every room in the house, from the living room and bathroom to the home office and the kitchen (we’re mad for the kitchen’s all-white palette with just a jolt of orange on the barstools). Overall, the home has a neutral and very classic shell, but is then energized with citrusy hues, rich browns and standout patterns. Keep scrolling for more swell snapshots.

Cook in this kitchen? Don’t mind if we do.

Window coverings get the royal treatment with Shumacher’s Imperial Trellis pattern (see below for the wallcovering version in the bathroom)

I suspect I’d do more scotch-drinking and reading Jane Austen in this home office than I would actual work

You can never go wrong with Shumacher wallcoverings. This one: Imperial Trellis in soft aqua
