The 20 Most-Liked Homes on Our Instagram in 2023

When the kids are outgrowing bunk beds in what used to be the nursery, it’s time for an update. That was the case for Catherine and VW Fowlkes, the couple behind D.C.-based Fowlkes Studio, whose compact 1930s home wasn’t quite cutting it anymore. With minimal growing pains—the duo originally bought the home because of its potential to be expanded—the Fowlkes Studio team completed a 1,720-square-foot, three-story addition at the rear that now provides plenty of breathing room for the whole family. Catherine admits that the home was always "stylistically bland," but that it had a sweetness that carries through today in its expanded form. "I think the renovation has retained that quality, from before to after," she says.
