There's nothing better than living someplace where the exterior and interior are completely and utterly incongruous. Take this example, brought to us by our cousins at Curbed Chicago. Outside, a restored facade recalls the grandeur and grace of late 19th-century Victorian architecture. Inside, the living room at once recalls a Days Inn somewhere outside Miami and a restaurant chain styled after '50s diners. Even further afield, the bedroom seems to draw inspiration from Rainforest Cafe, what with its boulder- and tree-themed murals. Does this place come with a souvenir shop?

It's a normal occurrence for our sister site Racked, but how weird is it to see catwalk-strutting models on Curbed! There's a method behind the mania; today, the folks over at Lonny give airtime to fashion designer Mary Karantzou, whose new collection features '70s interiors shots by lens wizards Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin rendered on fabric. The photos were all taken from the archives of World of Interiors and Arch Digest. None of that "match your outfit to your room!" or "match your room to your outfit!" mumbo-jumbo—but this is hella cool.

It's only been three months since Curbed National launched, but even still we decided to make up a bunch of awards as a way to recap the stuff we've covered. Over the next few days, we'll be feting the most deserving people, places, and things in the national design, decor, and real estate sphere. Herein, we unveil the first annual Curbed Awards!
Sometimes it's hard to decide on just one, so here are 10 of the best interior shots that landed on our desk. Some might be surprising (turquoise tiling!), others may not seem so subtle (Alexa Hampton in the Hamptons?!), but all brought a little something special to the magazine rack. Have a look.
