Art buyer and part-time interior designer Hannah Flora (hannahkateflora.com) transformed her prewar classic-six rental into a four-bedroom pad where she and her three roommates can host social gatherings like "Taco Tuesdays" and football nights. "We wanted to move into a big apartment so we could have people over all the time," explains the Dallas native, who has appeared on HGTV's First Time Design. "When I first saw this place, there were beer cans and futons everywhere, but it had such potential," she recalls.
