"She wears this house in her clothes." That’s how designer Kevin Sawyers describes the woman who lives in this 1915 San Francisco home with her husband and two kids, explaining, “If you looked in her closet, it would very much reflect these colors.” The house had been owned by an architect and was in great condition, but it was lacking something. “It was nice, but it didn’t have personality,” Sawyers says. “And the colors were not cohesive.” So he aligned it with her personal aesthetic. Dramatic, refined versions of colors and shapes the owner loves compose a palette Sawyers describes as “lip-smacking and playful, but certainly sophisticated.” It manages to be all those things at once thanks to a very tight edit of recurring colors. The deep red of the wallpaper in the dining room reappears on the kitchen backsplash, the family room rug, and as the guest bathroom’s wall paint; the peachy orange of the kitchen island pops up again in the primary suite. Multiple doses of each strong color give the house the cohesion and whimsy it had been missing.The mouthwatering color palette says everything about this home.The palette may be powerful, but the real star of the show is the woodworking. Custom case goods and murals in white oak cover practically every wall, providing storage, built-in furniture, and repeated visual motifs. Unique decorative elements feel ultrapersonalized; mountain range wall murals were inspired by the family’s recent vacation to Switzerland. The woodwork also grounds the palette's bold colors and brings out their earthy side, creating an atmosphere that is joyful, stylish, and clean.Very few structural changes were made—only the children’s bathroom got a new floor plan—but the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home is completely unrecognizable from the real estate listing photos. “There was not a single surface that wasn’t altered, updated, or replaced,” Sawyers says.FAST FACTSDesigner: Kevin Sawyers of Sawyers DesignLocation: San Francisco, CaliforniaThe Space: Three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home.ENTRYWAYA graphic, playful take on necessary organization.R Brad KnipsteinTrim paint: OK Coral, Dunn-Edwards.

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T, once hailed as the vanguard of Dodge’s electric muscle car future, is being dropped for the 2026 model year. According to a report from MoparInsiders, the Scat Pack variant will now lead the Daytona lineup, marking a significant pivot in Stellantis’ EV strategy. Recommended Videos Originally introduced with bold ambitions, the Charger Daytona R/T was designed to offer an accessible gateway into electric performance. With its 456-horsepower dual-motor setup and optional 509-horsepower Direct Connection stage kit, it seemed poised to excite both muscle car fans and EV newcomers. However, market realities have painted a different picture. Industry and media reports highlight the core issue: buyers just weren’t biting. Despite its impressive specs and nostalgic design cues, the R/T struggled to justify its price tag, starting near $60,000. At that level, buyers expected either more performance or more premium features. Without strong sales traction, Dodge made the tough call to shelve the R/T variant for 2026, opting instead to focus on trims that resonate better with customers. As we reported in December, the Charger EV was launched with an off-beat marketing message to “save the planet from self-driving sleep pods.” The goal was to retain Dodge’s brand identity—muscle, aggression, and driver engagement—even in the electric era. The Charger Daytona R/T was supposed to be the perfect balance of price and performance, but it seems the target audience wasn’t ready to make that leap at that price. Importantly, this doesn’t spell the end of the Charger Daytona altogether. Higher-performance models like the Scat Pack and Banshee are still in the pipeline and, interestingly, are being adjusted for price competitiveness. Several trims are reportedly seeing price cuts, suggesting Stellantis is serious about making these vehicles more appealing and accessible. For enthusiasts, the takeaway is clear: the electric muscle car isn’t going anywhere, but automakers are still figuring out how to sell it. The demise of the R/T is less a failure and more a recalibration—proof that even the boldest plans need to stay flexible in the face of consumer demand.
