Home sweet customized home. You know what you want when it comes to design, and so does Arizona Foothills Magazine. From the architecture to the woodwork, neighborhood to the appliances, here are our top choices for home and design in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
These are the winners of Best Of Our Valley 2013 in the Home and Design category – the best of the best in Arizona. The winner each category this year will be featured in Arizona Foothills Magazine’s March 2013 issue, a tell-all guide to the coolest people and places in the Valley of the Sun, as chosen by its residents. The winner with the most total votes will be featured on the cover of Arizona Foothills Magazine’ s Best Of issue (but we aren’t telling who won the cover just yet!).
