Heritage home When choosing a colour palette, look to your heritage and favourite childhood memories, and you are likely to find colours that will bring you happiness. For the kitchen cabinets of their Brooklyn dwelling, Megan O'Neill's husband Jesse went for his favourite colour - a rich fuchsia shade that reminded him of a 1959 magenta Cadillac his father owned when he was a child.
Who lives here? Megan O'Neill, senior beauty editor at Goop, her husband, Jesse Bull, and their baby.
WHEN GOOP BEAUTY EDITOR Megan O'Neill and her husband Jesse moved into their home in New York, they didn't hesitate to feather their nest with shades of vibrant colour.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER Decorating the space was a labour of love that Megan and Jesse took together.
