SOLEDAD'S SECRET(6)

Soledad was insistent on design that is flexible. “The other night, we had a sleepover for the girls and pulled mattresses into the living room,” Soledad notes. “We push the couch back when we have a party for the 3-year-olds. The apartment’s flexible, like my life.” Though she built her reputation as a newsperson asking the tough questions, she says, “I don’t think of myself as a strong woman, but as resilient and flexible. Flexibility is what enables me to juggle a family—including time for the really fun, silly stuff—with a fulfilling, interesting career. More than anything else, it’s my flexibility I’m most proud of.”

In the girls’ bedroom, ”We took the theme of a bright color palette, which is expressed in the loft’s art, and turned it way up,” says Stephens. He jokingly calls it “the princesses’ room.”
