Tiffany Brooksis showing off her Illinois home for the first time ever!
Her reimagined abode marks a new beginning for the design star in more ways than one. For starters, she closed on the home “just four days after my divorce became final,” she pens in the magazine. Brooks also explains in her editor’s letter that the house symbolizes a special first for her.

While the basement was converted into an apartment for her 20-year-old son Ayden, the renovation expert had free rein to design the rest of the home just for her (and her dog, Puff).
The first example of this can be seen in Brooks’ kitchen. To avoid an all-white space but still reflect a modern aesthetic, the designer went with a unique “icy blue” color palette. She added gold fixtures to the cabinetry and a center island with a quartz waterfall countertop to “elevate the room even more.”

Brooks surprised herself when designing the primary bedroom, as she opted for neutrals instead of her go-to bold colors. She personalized the space even more with panels of hand-painted wallpaper placed behind her bed and a crystal chandelier that hangs from the ceiling.

An extra bedroom was transformed into the designer’s closet which features a center island and plenty of storage for her color-coordinated wardrobe.

“The biggest undertaking has been rebuilding the deck from scratch,” Brooks explains, “the old one was near collapsing!”
