For the renovation of their midcentury ranch house in Chicago, Trey Berre and his wife, Maria Ponce Berre, compared bids from three contractors, ultimately hiring ABO Construction. The total budget for the project climbed to $174 per square foot after it was discovered that the roof had suffered rain damage and needed to be replaced for $40,000.
Also in the mix are antique market finds and pieces sourced from years of travel. Across from the Donna Wilson ottoman bought in London sit a pair of Brazilian, midcentury-modern chairs. They are among Nina’s favorites.

The den.
Gold poufs in the living area are among the home's post-renovation accents.
The original stereo and radio remain intact. Although these components are nonfunctional, they are truly unique elements of this Durell home.
The TV nook sits just off the living room. Built-in shelving flanks a cozy fireplace.
The lower level features a bonus family room with a wall of built-in media cabinetry.
"The wood adds warmth and consistency to the space, balancing the tough exterior," explains architect Harley Graham.
A lounge space, decorated with dark and light blue hues, sits directly atop the entry stairs. A white painted brick wall provides an idea backdrop which extends between spaces.
Around the corner from the foyer, there’s a set of Epos Elan 10 speakers in cherry cabinets.
